Sleeper Pilot Program on Track for 2016

New Study For Sleeper Berth Rules

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s research division says it’ll likely be another year before it launches a pilot program to see if drivers can safely split their sleeper berth rest time.

According to Heavy Duty Trucking, the contract to conduct the 90-day study will be let in December, but the project will have to be cleared by the Office of Management and Budget, and the administrative preparations – leading to a possible 2016 start date.
