The Department of Transportation (DOT) will begin enforcing its new hours of service regulation for truck drivers on January 3, 2004. The new regulation changes the required rest time and duty time for commercial vehicle drivers and the manner in which duty time is calculated. The government estimates the new regulation will cost trucking companies about $1.3 billion a year, although some affected by the changes believe the cost impact will be greater.
