The proposed new rules for the hours of service regulations have been tossed out by the court, thus keeping the HOS rules the same. Set to go into effect in January, 2009, the agency officials chose to keep the current hours of service rules the same, in order to prevent more confusion to both truck drivers and law enforcement officials.

The FMCSA reiterated the fact that the current rules provide both rest and safety issues, and saw no reason in implementing further changes.
