US Rep Calls Hours-of-Service Rules Flawed

Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) is calling on Congress to fix the "flawed regulatory process"

House Representative Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) issued a statement this week, following the rumor this week that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will miss its September 30 deadline for reporting the results of an hours-of-service study, calling on members of Congress to “bring relief to our nation’s truckers, small business and consumers — and restore some commonsense to this flawed regulatory process.”
