Hours of Service of Drivers: Reiman Corp.; Denial of Application for Exemption

Résumé

FMCSA announces its denial of Reiman Corp.'s (Reiman) request for an exemption from certain hours-of-service (HOS) regulations. Reiman's drivers transport latex embedded cement for use at highway construction sites. Reiman requests that it be allowed to operate under the same HOS exemption provided for "specially trained drivers of commercial motor vehicles that are specially constructed to service oil wells." FMCSA analyzed the application and public comment and determined that Reiman did not demonstrate how the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations under such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved in the absence of the exemption.
