This could lead federal officials to reconsider their previous decision on limiting truck drivers&#8217; weekly working hours to 40 and potentially grant waivers to these states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">California&#8217;s Meal and Rest Break (MRB) rules were overridden by federal law in a ruling on December 21, 2018. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced on Friday that it will consider waiver requests for that ruling. A similar ruling about Washington state&#8217;s MRB rules on November 17, 2020, will also be considered. Both of these choices were made by the government under Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/fmcsa-to-consider-rollbacks-to-truck-driver-rest-break-rules\/#FMCSA_to_Consider_Petitions_for_Waiver_of_California_and_Washington_MRB_Rules\" >FMCSA to Consider Petitions for Waiver of California and Washington MRB Rules<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/fmcsa-to-consider-rollbacks-to-truck-driver-rest-break-rules\/#Teamsters_Disagree_with_Washington_Trucking_Associations_Claim_on_MRB_Rules\" >Teamsters Disagree with Washington Trucking Association\u2019s Claim on MRB Rules<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/fmcsa-to-consider-rollbacks-to-truck-driver-rest-break-rules\/#Teamsters_and_ATA_Disagree_on_FMCSAs_Preemption_Finding\" >Teamsters and ATA Disagree on FMCSA\u2019s Preemption Finding<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/fmcsa-to-consider-rollbacks-to-truck-driver-rest-break-rules\/#ATA_and_Scopelitis_Transportation_Consulting_Support_FMCSAs_Preemption_of_California_and_Washington_MRB_Rules\" >ATA and Scopelitis Transportation Consulting Support FMCSA\u2019s Preemption of California and Washington MRB Rules<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/fmcsa-to-consider-rollbacks-to-truck-driver-rest-break-rules\/#21_States_Have_Meal_and_Rest_Break_Laws\" >21 States Have Meal and Rest Break Laws<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/fmcsa-to-consider-rollbacks-to-truck-driver-rest-break-rules\/#FMCSA_Outlines_Requirements_for_Waiver_Bids\" >FMCSA Outlines Requirements for Waiver Bids<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/fmcsa-to-consider-rollbacks-to-truck-driver-rest-break-rules\/#Contact_Lading_Logistics_For_Comprehensive_Logistics_Solutions\" >Contact Lading Logistics For Comprehensive Logistics Solutions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FMCSA_to_Consider_Petitions_for_Waiver_of_California_and_Washington_MRB_Rules\"><\/span><strong>FMCSA to Consider Petitions for Waiver of California and Washington MRB Rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The notice said petitions for waivers could be submitted anytime. FMCSA asks for petitions for waivers of California and Washington rulings to be submitted by November 13, 2023. The FMCSA publishes petitions for waivers and allows public comments on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Employers in California and Washington follow stricter MRB rules than government standards. California workers are entitled to a 30-minute dinner break if they work more than five hours. They are also entitled to another 30-minute meal break if they work 10 or more hours. Also, workers are given a 10-minute break for every four hours they work. Most of Washington&#8217;s rules are like these.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Teamsters_Disagree_with_Washington_Trucking_Associations_Claim_on_MRB_Rules\"><\/span><strong>Teamsters Disagree with Washington Trucking Association\u2019s Claim on MRB Rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After eight hours of driving, drivers must take a 30-minute break, not on-duty time. However, the federal government&#8217;s hours-of-service rules will become more flexible for employers in September 2020. An on-duty or non-driving period will count as the required break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Teamsters disagreed with the Washington Trucking Association&#8217;s claim. They said the state&#8217;s MRB rules worsen safety by increasing the shortage of safe truck parking. They argued that drivers could spend more time searching for parking or parking in unsafe areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Teamsters_and_ATA_Disagree_on_FMCSAs_Preemption_Finding\"><\/span><strong>Teamsters and ATA Disagree on FMCSA\u2019s Preemption Finding<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The union said truck drivers face a threat. The threat arises from not taking rest breaks as allowed by federal law. The drivers fear consequences from their employers if they don&#8217;t finish a run on time or prioritize earning extra pay by pushing themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked if they were going to ask FMCSA for permission, the Teamsters didn&#8217;t say right away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The American Trucking Associations asked FMCSA to make a preemption finding. They think the agency&#8217;s recent move is bad for the flow of national freight and could cost companies money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chris Spear, the President and CEO of ATA, believes that having a singular, national standard of work rules for professional drivers is crucial for safety and the supply chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ATA_and_Scopelitis_Transportation_Consulting_Support_FMCSAs_Preemption_of_California_and_Washington_MRB_Rules\"><\/span><strong>ATA and Scopelitis Transportation Consulting Support FMCSA\u2019s Preemption of California and Washington MRB Rules<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rest breaks for drivers are already mandated by federal law. Unnecessary and duplicative state laws lack a safety basis. They are enforced through private lawsuits to extort the trucking industry. Opening the door to this spurious litigation once again would impair the safe and efficient movement of interstate goods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ATA is fully prepared to oppose the effort that would result in a confusing patchwork of regulations. The Federation will leverage all of its resources to stop this in its tracks.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Sean Garney, co-director of Scopelitis Transportation Consulting, agreed with what ATA said.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Garney said that the FMCSA&#8217;s decision to override the Meal and Rest Break rules in California and Washington was good for business and safety, according to a Freight reporting website. National companies are not required to follow different hours of service rules in each state. This generally makes managing hours of service easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21_States_Have_Meal_and_Rest_Break_Laws\"><\/span><strong>21 States Have Meal and Rest Break Laws<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The National Conference of State Legislatures states that 21 states have rules about meal and rest break times.
