In transport news this month a petition has been filed regarding the new hours of service policy by the FMCSA slated to start on the 14th of this month. The petition was filed by the ATA (american trucking association). The basis of the petition is that if the new hours of service go into effect it will disrupt supply changes as well as impact the carriers financially.

 
With labor day 2007 now behind us winter weather is on its way. There are many helpful weather sites that can prepare auto transporters for driving conditions and what mother nature has in store to help avoid vehicle delivery delays.

In regards to the hours of service changes and petition filed by the american trucking association, FMCSA Administrator John Hill handed down the following statement that seeks a stay period of 12 months on the new ruling.
