Hours of Service (HOS)

ā€œHours of serviceā€ refers to the maximum amount of time drivers are permitted to be on duty including driving time, and specifies number and length of rest periods, to help ensure that drivers stay awake and alert.

Most drivers must follow the HOS Regulations if they drive a commercial motor vehicle, or CMV. In general, a CMV is a vehicle that is used as part of a business and is involved in interstate commerce and fits any of these descriptions: Weighs 10,001 pounds or more Has a gross vehicle weight rating o...

The importance of sleep in the freight industry

Sleep is a rare commodity in a truckerā€™s life. Good quality sleep is even rarer, and thatā€™s why the one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach to work and rest leaves so many drivers both mentally and physically exhausted. No two drivers have the same needs for sleep ā€“ weā€™re all wired differently at birth with our own unique body clock that drives our preferred work and rest patterns.

We should be regulating sleep and not hours worked, since sleep drives human performance far more than skills, experience, and training.

Donā€™t forget about the infrastructure spending

Another X factor in the year ahead for carriers will be the new infrastructure bill. Obviously, improved roads and bridges benefit carriers, but it could be a long time before the effects are felt.

The need for asphalt is a boon for the petroleum industry, while the steel industry also looks to be a big winner from the spending bill. Both industries will generate demand for truckload freight when construction gets underway, especially flatbed.
