CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
On December 21, the FMCSA approved ATA’s petition that Federal Meal and Rest Break rules preempt California meal and rest break rules. The ATA opened the petition for required comment period in October. The FMCSA received 700 comments. After reviewing and analyzing the comments, they approved the petition. The FMCSA determined that the California meal and rest breaks rules reduce productivity, have no safety benefit, create a needless burden on drivers, and a patchwork of regulations that disrupts interstate commerce.

Jerry Miranda an employee with longtime CTA member Reeve Trucking was recently presented with the CTA Industry Champion Award. Over the past couple of years, Mr. Miranda has been making CTA aware of many cities that were overcharging the heavy haul industry to obtain an extra legal transportation permit. California law only allows local municipalities to charge $16.00 for a single trip permit and $90.00 for an annual permit to move extra-legal loads through their jurisdiction.
