On December 1, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) extended the waiver on hours-of-service (HOS) requirements for trucks transporting livestock and feed. The waiver is based on the national emergency declared for COVID-19, and the extension is valid through February 28. The agency also emphasized that the declaration does not empower motor carriers to make truckers haul a load when they say they are tired.
