Abstract:

This paper examines the potential gains and losses of a change in hours of service rules for truck drivers. The authors conclude that drivers, carriers, and society in general would experience positive net gains from a change in the cumulative hours of service rules from the current 70-in-8 day rule to a 24-hour restart provision. These gains would consist of increased driver income, improved scheduling flexibility, a potential for increased time at home, increased economic efficiency, and improved safety, as well as gains in other areas. 41 p.
