The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is considering a request from Colorado Huntsman Transport, Inc. for an exemption from certain commercial motor vehicle regulations. Huntsman Transport is asking to be excused from marking their vehicles with their name and USDOT number due to security reasons, and to allow more flexible hours for their drivers, who transport prisoners, to improve safety and operational efficiency. The FMCSA invites public comments on this request, emphasizing that Huntsman Transport believes this change would maintain or enhance safety by allowing more rest breaks and organized driver rotations. Comments are open until April 28, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Colorado Huntsman Transport wants permission to not put their name on their trucks and to let their drivers work longer hours because they believe it will keep their drivers safer when they move prisoners. The government wants to know what people think about this idea by April 28, 2025.
