The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is investigating whether truck drivers are being pressured to get behind the wheel and drive long hours even when they’re tired.
This comes in response to an FMCSA rule proposed in March that would require truckers to record their hours electronically. The agency is looking into whether trucking companies use this information to harass drivers.
