Summary: The Truck Safety Coalition, Citizens for Reliable and Safe Highways, Parents Against Tired Truckers, and Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety are submitting a joint petition to support the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's request to amend §395.2. They argue that the FMCSA should add a specific definition for "personal conveyance" that includes maximum distance and time limits to prevent drivers from using the designation to evade Hours-of-Service regulations and to improve roadway safety.
Enclosed please find the Truck Safety Coalition and Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety's joint Petition for Rulemaking: Add a Definition of Personal Conveyance to Title 49 CFR §395.2 and Remove all Interpretative Guidance from §395.8.
