    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.

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is proposing a new guideline to help commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers know when to record their vehicle operations as "yard moves." This change aims to clarify that movements of CMVs on private property or in restricted areas can be logged as "on-duty not driving" time. The FMCSA is asking the public for comments on these proposed guidelines, which also give examples of what are considered yards, such as intermodal yards, port facilities, and private parking lots. Comments are welcomed until February 3, 2021, to help finalize and clarify these guidelines.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration wants to make rules so truck drivers know when they can label moving their trucks around a parking lot or private area as "work but not driving." They want people to share what they think about these ideas on how to tell if a place is a "yard" until February 3, 2021.
