Hours of Service: Mainline Services, LLC; Application for Exemption

Detected July 5, 2026 · in Trucking / FMCSA Compliance

FMCSA is seeking public comment on Mainline Services, LLC's application for an exemption from certain hours-of-service (HOS) rules. This does not change current regulations for other carriers but may set a precedent.

Aforeworn detected this change in the Trucking / FMCSA Compliance space on July 5, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated Low urgency. All motor carriers, especially those interested in HOS flexibility should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: Comments due by July 30, 2026 (30 days from publication)..
