FMCSA Denies Exemption for Bakers and Dairy Drivers in Emergency Situations

Summary

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has rejected a joint application from the American Bakers Association (ABA) and International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) for an exemption from the Federal hours-of-service (HOS) rules for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, who would have been allowed to work longer hours in emergency situations such as natural disasters or extreme weather events.
