MAJOR VICTORY for NJMTA....NJ DEP Extends Sleeper-Berth Idling Exemption for HOS Compliance
NJMTA requested the continuation of the sleeper-berth exemption due to safety concerns. Friday, March 26, 2010 NJMTA requested the continuation of the sleeper-berth exemption due to safety concerns. Drivers are required by law to rest for 10 hours according to the FMCSA hours of service rules. A New Jersey sleeper berth exemption for the idling of heavy-duty trucks that was originally scheduled to sunset on May 1, 2010, has been delayed for another year. The delay gives New Jersey truck drivers an exemption from the idling regulation while resting or sleeping in a sleeper berth until May 1, 2011. The current Department of Environmental Protection regulation prohibits diesel-powered vehicles from idling for more than three consecutive minutes if the vehicle is stopped. The exemption allows for sleeper berth idling so that drivers can comply with the hours of service regulation. NJMTA Executive Directoe, Gail Toth thanked DOT Commissioner Simpson, Col. Fuentes, DEP Commissioner Martin and Assemblyman Alex DeCroce for their help in extending the exemption |
