NEW SHE
Let's talk about the new Short Haul Exemption rules coming out soon.
FMCSA announced the other day that they will be changing the Short Haul Exemption rules across-the-board.
This is a great thing for all companies that operate under this exemption & some that will be able to operate under it now!!
You see right now a CDL driver can only work 12 hours a day. They also have to stay within a 100 air mile radius of their start location to use the short haul exemption.
While non-CDL CMV drivers can work upto a 14 hour day. They have to stay within a 150 air mile radius of their home base.
We found when you try to teach the differences to the drivers that they struggle to understand the differences. Especially if you're trying to teach it to people who operate both Non-CDL CMV’s & CDL vehicles.
We are excited to announce that FMCSA has just announced that most likely by October 1st 2020 all drivers will be able to operate under the NEW short haul exemption rules.
The rule will state that everybody, CDL and non-CDL commercial drivers can operate: 14 hour days. It also says that they need to stay within a 150 air mile radius of their home base.
That's HUGE how many companies will be able have their CDL drivers operate under the NEW short haul exemptions
