FMCSA Proposes Pilot Program to Allow Commercial Drivers to Pause Their 14-Hour Driving Window

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) proposes a pilot program allowing commercial drivers to temporarily extend their 14-hour driving window by 30 minutes to 3 hours, with the goal of improving safety. The program, known as the 'Split Duty Period Pilot Program,' would be limited to 256 CDL holders and apply only to property-carrying CMVs.
