ATRI Asks for Driver Input

The American Transportation Research Institute is surveying truckers on the impacts of Hours of Service (HOS) rules and about detention time for two separate studies.

The first study is a follow up to a report released in November, which stated that more than 65% of drivers reported loss of pay due to HOS regulations.  The second study “seeks to evaluate the impact that shippers and receivers may have on truck drivers’ safety, productivity and hours-of-service compliance”.

Hopefully these surveys and studies will result in smarter legislation in the trucking industry.
