Kansas adopts federal trucking hours rule to secure funds
Federal officials noted Kansas lacked hours rules for utility firm drivers. On July 1, 2001 the commission aligned with federal limits: max 10 driving hours before eight off. 15 total hours with only 10 driving. 60 service hours in seven days and 70 in eight. The step aims to curb fatigue and liability for power companies operating across state lines. Local power restoration followed an ice storm as officials sought emergency declarations.
