SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) released its hours-of-service final rule, making changes to the agency’s hours-of-service rules in Part 395 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The rule included language identical to comments submitted by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) on behalf of the recycling industry that would increase route optimization, increase flexibility in pickups and deliveries, and maintain safety for drivers.
“The hours of service final rule provides a long-lasting positive impact for the recycling industry without adversely affecting transportation safety,” said ISRI President Robin Wiener. “As the voice of the recycling industry, ISRI appreciates the incorporation of our comments on this important issue and we look forward to continuing to work with the FMCSA to improve safety on our nation’s roadways.”
Highlights from the final rule include:
The final rule revisions will take effect 120 days after the date the rule is published in the Federal Register.
