Description The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has released findings from a real-world, third-party study showing that the restart provision in the current hours-of-service rule for truck drivers is more effective at combatting fatigue than the prior version. Analysis shows that the rule will prevent approximately 1,400 crashes and 560 injuries, and save 19 lives each year.
