If we shed light on the major issues facing the industry right now, we will see that they are not very different from the ones that we deal with the year before, or the prior year.
But here, without any further delay, are the most pressing issues in trucking industry today:
1. Hours-of-Service (HOS)
When it comes to trucking industry issues we all know there are many to choose from. But of them seems to jump out year after year. Obviously I am speaking about the hours of service- HOS rule. It remains one of the key trucking industry issues.
Some might not put it at the top of the list; others might not even put much thought into it. But, HOS is one of the major trucking industry issues.
It really shouldn’t be a surprise. Some say that 80 percent of the motors carriers have lost productivity due to the 34 hour restart provisions.
If I am not mistaken the rule was suspended, or amended but not before helping to create a few trucking industry issues.
