On January 04, 2021 (86 FR 179), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published a notice in the federal register proposing to revise the regulatory guidance concerning recording time operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) as a “yard move.” This guidance applies to all CMV drivers required to record their hours of service (HOS). FMCSA requests public comments on the proposed guidance, which includes examples of properties that are and are not “yards.” Movements of CMVs in “yards” would be considered “yard moves” and could be recorded as on-duty not driving time rather than driving time. Comments are due by February 3, 2021.
