Although some members of the trucking industry support the new regulations, others have major concerns about whether the regulations are actually going to make the roads less safe for truck drivers and other motorists who are sharing the road. The FMCSA says that the changes to the HOS regulations would provide increased flexibility; make truck drivers’ jobs safer; and ensure that essential products, including COVID-19-related medical supplies, get delivered on time. However, safety advocates are concerned that the opposite will be true, and that the new regulations will increase the risk of devastating truck accidents related to driver fatigue.
