The CVSA petition noted roadside law enforcement officers and inspectors have no way to know for sure that truckers are actually not working during the 30-minute rest break. Along with not having any way to verify the legitimacy of the rest break, enforcement is also complicated by the exemptions to the rest break FMCSA has granted to select segments of the trucking industry, according to CVSA.

FMCSA Defends 30-Minute Rest Break Rule, Nixes Proposal

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, a national association of commercial motor vehicle enforcement officials, petitioned FMCSA in November 2015 to drop the mandatory 30-minute rest break.

OOIDA previously challenged a similar mandate in the courts. In August 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit vacated a proposed electronic logbook rule based on the argument of harassment of drivers.

“This rule has the potential to have the single largest, most negative impact on the industry than anything else done by FMCSA,” said Jim Johnston, OOIDA president and CEO.
