Abstract: Motor carriers must require drivers to prepare paper records of the driver's duty status, use automatic on-board recording devices, or for certain drivers used within a 100 air-mile radius of the normal work reporting location, the motor carrier may use time cards/sheets similar to 29 CFR 516.0 and 516.2(OMB No. 1215-0017), with the addition of one item--the time the driver is released from duty each day. These estimated hour and cost burdens would result when the HOS final rule is promulgated.
