Do the new HOS rules have any effect on the “24-hour restart” exceptions provided in § 395.1 for certain oilfield, water well drilling, construction, and utility service vehicle drivers?
No. A driver meeting the requirements of § 395.1 for use of a “24-hour restart” of the 60 or 70 hour periods may continue to use those exceptions instead of the 34-hour restart provision for other drivers. Unlike 34-hour restart drivers who may not use that exception if they are in excess of the 60 or 70 hours at the beginning of the 34-hour period, a driver using the 24-hour restart provision may do so regardless of the number of hours worked prior to the start of the 24-hour period.
