A truck arrived Tuesday at a Kirkland, Wash., nursing home. A truck arrived Tuesday at a Kirkland, Wash U.S. highway-safety regulators are suspending rules that limit daily driving hours for truck drivers moving emergency supplies such as medical equipment, hand sanitizer and food in response to the nationwide coronavirus outbreak.

The Transportation Department’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced the nationwide exemption late Friday, following President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency over the pandemic.

The move “will help America’s commercial drivers get these critical goods to impacted areas faster and more efficiently,” FMCSA Acting Administrator Jim Mullen said.

It comes as hospitals report shortages of medical masks and as retailers and manufacturers are straining under surging demand for everything from hand sanitizer to staples such as toilet paper and rice. As anxious consumers stockpile goods, grocers have turned to rationing, imposing purchase limits on disinfectant wipes, cleaning supplies and other high-demand products.

The move is the first time the FMCSA has issued nationwide-wide relief from hours-of-service regulations, although regional declarations have waived those rules in response to disasters such as hurricanes.

Federal regulations limit most commercial truck drivers to 11 hours of driving time in a 14-hour workday, restrictions intended to reduce accidents caused by highway fatigue.

The national emergency declaration applies to carriers providing direct assistance to relief efforts tied to the coronavirus pandemic, such as moving medical supplies and equipment to test, diagnose and treat Covid-19. It also applies to those hauling goods to help prevent its spread, including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and disinfectants.

Drivers transporting “food for emergency restocking of stores” are also covered by the declaration.

It also applies to motor carriers moving medical and emergency services providers, people needed to set up and manage temporary housing and quarantine facilities, and people being moved for medical, isolation or quarantine purposes, the agency said.

The declaration doesn’t apply to routine commercial deliveries or truckers hauling mixed loads that include essential supplies. Drivers that inform motor carriers they need immediate rest must be permitted at least 10 consecutive hours off duty.

BTW, Superlejera, any update on your decision?

Who is your FM?

Dylan I’m in the tanker division

My dispatch asking me to be a TNT trainer For prime I been driving for more then 3 years now with prime. 100 percent on time with all my load .I don’t know what to do

When I was in school the first truck we drove was a 94 with over a million miles, they did that because it's cheaper to repair than a newer truck with all the electronics on it. After you proved you could shift and drive that dinosaur you where moved into the nicer truck which definitely shifted better since it didn't get the abuse the other one did.

Good luck

Do any of you saw the video from trucking answer Talking BS about trucking truck they need to Decided are theys youtuber or truck driver

As many videos as some of these guys make and as long as some of the videos are makes me wonder how they have time to do any actual truck driving.

Icecold24k. LOL, I was sure thinking the same. How come we have never met when we both are in the tank division Lol. Keep those tires burning !!

Truckers are now turning into Youtubers as a side hustle because they’re not making enough money as a truck driver. And they all said the same thing

I learn from trucking truth that I don’t have to go 7 day without a shower

Fantastic! Congrats

Thank you

3 week with out talking to my dispatch. How long do you go . I just got this message today Hello, your ring has arrived at the company store in Springfield. 2 years with no accident

Memorial Day was designed to celebrate those who serve our country in both times of peace and war. It was created to pay respect to the dead. ... It's not appropriate to say "Happy Memorial Day," just as you wouldn't celebrate a loved one's funeral for being fun

You made your point. Since your facts are not straight, I suggest you go to History.com and do a bit of research. As a 32 year retired military veteran, I take no offense to PJ beginning this topic, nor the title of it.

No problema happy memories day to you sir and thanks you for your service

I wish to thank all the fellow vets here for your service, and a safe memorial day. I wish everyone safe travels. This weather is crazy and horrific in some areas.

Can you please change the happy tittle there is nothing to be happy about this day thank you Memorial Day a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered

Hello all I have been doing local beer deliveries for the past 2+ years and thinking of getting my tanker endorsement. I currently drive a 48’ dry van trailer. I have been looking at companies like eagle as they are very popular in the RICHMOND,VA area but I am also interested in hauling food grade tankers but many want tanker experience. Any advice on companies to gain that tanker experience?

Come to prime I will train you on tanker

Okay, that sounds good. All of Knight's flatbed work is a dedicated account, but Prime is more like a true flatbed job. Knight usually requires that you live within a certain proximity to their customer, so it's a little tricky getting in on their program. Turtle is a flatbed driver with Prime, along with several other members in here.

Thanks you for the information I’m looking to stay with prime

Hey old school are you with prime inc?

No, I'm with Knight. I drive for their dedicated flatbed division. We are dedicated drivers for "Hydro" aluminum extruders - formerly called "SAPA."

Why do you ask?

I’m thinking to transfer to flatbed .

Sung, if you're ever out of control like the driver in that video, the runaway truck ramp is your best option. What happens after that is anybody's guess, but you will have done the right thing. That's the important takeaway from this.
