Walsh Commented On The Latest Effort To Weaken Federal Trucking Safety Regulations By Including Revisions to The Latest Spending Bill Working It's Way Through Congress.
By: Shapiro Goldman Babboni & Walsh However changes to these important safety rules are being proposed, and have been included in the latest spending bill referred to as “cromnibus” The changes introduced by Sen. Susan Collins (r) from Maine, would remove the requirement that drivers must include two overnights, as well as allow drivers to take more than one restart in a seven-day period, thereby starting a new 70-hour workweek before seven days have passed. Federal Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx reacted to the proposed changes by stating, “The net effect of these changes was to reduce the average maximum week a driver could work from 82 hours to 70 hours.” As the fatal-crash rate from accidents increased each year from 2009 through 2012, reversing a five-year trend changes to weaken trucking safety regulations have been controversial.
