“Carriers operating between the United States and Mexico are spending a significant portion of their working day awaiting border crossings and under CBP [Customs and Border Protection] Inspection, USDA [U.S. Department of Agriculture] Agricultural inspections and state point [Department of Transportation] Czech, “wrote: Gilmo Carbajal, one of the first to comment on the FMCSA pilot.
“These compulsory processes are often extended for several hours, consumes service time and limit operational efficiency,” he said.
“With the exception of dual operations of these programs, it ignores an important part of the transportation industry, which does not face unique planning challenges that do not face purely internal operations. The participation of border carriers provides valuable data on how to improve the rest of the rest, adapting regulations.”
The pilot divided the drivers of the participant to spend their 14-hour period-known as their “driving window”-to provide for extra three hours and less than 30 minutes, with the aim of providing more flexibility for rest depending on their fatigue. FMCSA is offering a simultaneous pilot about the resting period for sleeping.
The agency intends to limit the partnership of the divided pilot to the “approximately” 256 driver’s license holders (CDL) that adhere to qualified criteria-which does not explicitly limit the participation based on geographical location or operational types.
The driver’s eligibility includes having a valid CDL and medical certificate, but if he or she is suspended in the two -year period before the date of his license, he or she is not eligible for some disqualified offenses.
During the general commentary, which ends on November 17, FMCSA requests additional factors – such as driver sex, geographical location, age, types of operations or driver experience – – should consider when selecting participants to ensure the sample of the representative.
The agency said in a proposal that temporary exemption from current pilot regulations would “provide flexibility for additional rest, prevent driving during traffic congestion and reduce” irrational arrests “, thereby improving US truck drivers.”
