⚠️ 5/5 or 6/4 split sleeper?

The US FMCSA is preparing to conduct a pilot study to split the 10-hour off-duty into 5/5 or 6/4. On October 7, they sought public comment on the study's data-collection paperwork in the Federal Register.

Today's rule: 7/3 or 8/2 (and splits in between). The longest sleeper period in the pilot will be at least 5 hours.

According to the plan so far (may change):
📌 This is not a rule change, it's a study — about 256 volunteer drivers, 16 weeks
📌 FMCSA's full launch plan is in 2027
📌 Up to $1,600 upon completion of study
📌 Conditions: The carrier must not have had any FMCSA enforcement action in the last 3 years, and the driver and vehicle OOS rate must not be above the national average.
📌 This is a US pilot — Canada's HOS rules do not change with this. Whether Canada-based carriers can join or not is not clear in the notice.

OOIDA (owner-operators association) says that this flexibility should be used at the driver's own discretion, not under pressure from the carrier.

⚠️ 5/5 ਜਾਂ 6/4 split sleeper?

US ਦੀ FMCSA 10 ਘੰਟੇ ਦੇ off-duty ਨੂੰ 5/5 ਜਾਂ 6/4 ਵਿੱਚ split ਕਰਨ ਦਾ pilot study ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਤਿਆਰੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੈ। 7 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ ਨੂੰ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ Federal Register ਵਿੱਚ ਇਸ study ਦੇ data-collection paperwork ’ਤੇ public comment ਮੰਗਿਆ ਹੈ।

ਅੱਜ ਦਾ rule: 7/3 ਜਾਂ 8/2 (ਤੇ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਵਿਚਕਾਰਲੇ splits)। Pilot ਵਿੱਚ ਲੰਮਾ sleeper period ਘੱਟੋ-ਘੱਟ 5 ਘੰਟੇ ਦਾ ਹੋ ਸਕੇਗਾ।

ਹੁਣ ਤੱਕ ਦੇ plan ਮੁਤਾਬਕ (ਬਦਲ ਵੀ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ):
📌 ਇਹ rule change ਨਹੀਂ, ਇੱਕ study ਹੈ — ਲਗਭਗ 256 volunteer drivers, 16 ਹਫ਼ਤੇ
📌 FMCSA ਦਾ full launch ਦਾ plan 2027 ਵਿੱਚ ਹੈ
📌 Study ਪੂਰੀ ਕਰਨ ’ਤੇ up to $1,600
📌 ਸ਼ਰਤਾਂ: carrier ’ਤੇ ਪਿਛਲੇ 3 ਸਾਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋਈ FMCSA enforcement action ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ, ਤੇ driver ਅਤੇ vehicle OOS rate national average ਤੋਂ ਉੱਪਰ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ
📌 ਇਹ US ਦਾ pilot ਹੈ — Canada ਦੇ HOS rules ਇਸ ਨਾਲ਼ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਦਲਦੇ। Canada-based carriers ਇਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਾ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ ਜਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ, ਇਹ notice ਵਿੱਚ ਸਾਫ਼ ਨਹੀਂ

OOIDA (owner-operators ਦੀ association) ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਹ flexibility driver ਦੀ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਰਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ਼ ਵਰਤੀ ਜਾਵੇ, carrier ਦੇ ਦਬਾਅ ਨਾਲ਼ ਨਹੀਂ।

Diesel drivers might not admit it yet… but the next generation of electric semis could be an absolute BEAST.

Think about what drivers actually want from a truck.

POWER.

Torque.

Smooth acceleration.

Something that can move serious weight without feeling like it's begging for another gear.

That's where electric trucks get interesting.

Electric motors can deliver torque almost INSTANTLY.

No waiting for boost.

No traditional gear hunting.

Touch the pedal and the power is THERE.

Of course, drivers still have legitimate questions.

Range.

Charging.

Weight.

Infrastructure.

Repair costs.

And whether these trucks can truly handle the punishment of everyday trucking.

But if manufacturers eventually nail those problems?

We could end up with trucks that are ridiculously strong, surprisingly smooth and completely different from anything most drivers grew up driving.

You don't have to give up your diesel tomorrow to be curious about THAT.

Here's what would settle the argument fast: give you a fully loaded electric semi for ONE WEEK… are you taking the keys or handing them back?

🚨 BREAKING: FMCSA is reportedly considering allowing truckers to use paper logs instead of ELDs.

That’s a significant signal the current system may be under strain — and a notable acknowledgment that ELD enforcement isn’t functioning as intended.
