38 Trucking Regulatory Story Hours of Service Hours of Service (New Rule Issued on 12/22/11) Changes: No reduction in 11 hour per day driving limit 14 hours of consecutive duty, then off for 10 consecutive hours Maximum of 11 total hours of driving during those 14 hours Maximum of 60 hours on duty in 7 consecutive days or 80 hours onduty in 8 consecutive days The 7 or 8 consecutive day period can be restarted after 34 consecutive hours off duty Most changes will be implemented on July 1, 2013 Possible drop in productivity of 3% Impact would amount to another 85,000 trucks on the road to move the same amount of freight 38
