I'm not a lawyer (although I play one on TV), so I don't really know what it means. Until FMCSA issues the rules, you continue to use the old rules, regardless of what the court says. Originally, I didn't blame FMCSA for this mess, but I'm starting to change my opinion. Where have they been since all this has gone on? Silence, leaving us all to twist in the wind.

Under the provisions, the court must rule on the motion before any change to the HOS can take place. The ATA asked for an 8 month stay to allow for companies to implement the new HOS. The OOIDA also filed on the 6th - they want the court to rehear the sleeper berth provisions. They would like to see the 14 hr clock so a driver can take a short nap/rest. I am glad somone is pushing that angle! You can view the article (and motion) at the ATA website - truckline.com and at OOIDA through landlinemag.com Special reports Sept 7, 2007 I found a few websites that show that the ATA filed a motion against the 7/24/07 ruling on 9/6/07.
