A report by the Department of Transportation found that the proposal to restrict a trucker’s “restart” period did not benefit driver safety. The originally proposed mandate would have changed driving hours as well as required that two nights were included as part of the “restart” break. Opponents of the proposal are “pleased” with the findings and believed that the changes would not have had any major effects on highway and driver safety.
