The new (2003) Hours Of Service Regulations weren't even in effect a full year before the various truck-hating groups began crawling out of the woodwork. The re-revised rules go into effect October 1, 2005. A grace period will extend thru December 31, 2005. Starting January 1, 2006, citations for violations will be issued.

I've written this so that "civilians" as well as truckers can fully understand the new rules and the impact they have on highway safety and the economy.

This is an article I revise anytime the rules change. Given that there are quite a few truckers at FR, and that the rules effect everyone, not just truckers, I thought I'd post it here for anyone who's interested.
