Waiting for Hours of Service Decision

By 250 News

It could be another two weeks before there is a decision on how many hours truckers should legally be allowed to log.

The suggestions presented  to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement Branch in B.C.  were as varied as the people who drive the rigs.

There were suggestions of  five, 12 hour days with two days off, through to  18 hours a day with added flexibility to accomodate areas with a short log haul season. The difficulty in gaining concensus on the matter rises in different conditions in different parts of the province, and their respective length of hauling season.

Insiders say that while a final decision was to be delivered at the end of the month, it is more likely the decision will be available by the middle of June.
