Hours of service changes
2020
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(“FMCSA”) published final driver hours of service rules
in December 2011, to be effective July 1, 2013. Among
the changes are more restrictive requirements covering
driver use of the 34-hour restart rule and a new
mandatory 30-minute rest period after 8 hours on
duty. The trucking industry association and consumer
advocate groups both appealed these changes before
the court in March 2013. The court has not yet issued a
ruling. Assuming the rules are adopted without change,
we currently believe the new rules will result in a
decrease in truck productivity and could tighten up
supply relative to demand in the freight market.
Growth was the name of the game in
intermodal for 2012. Most providers
saw shippers shift their capacity
strategy from over- the-road to
intermodal to eliminate some of the
pressures of the long haul trucking
industry such as fuel cost and driver
capacity.
As the railroads continue to improve
reliability in their network, intermodal
becomes a much more viable option
even with longer transit times. Shippers
are adapting and taking advantage by
just planning out longer lead times.
Dray and railroad costs continue to
push rates higher, but at a much more
tempered pace than the over the road
carriers. Market analysts anticipate the
same in 2013 with rates climbing
about 3-5 percent overall.
The worsening driver shortage will
continue to impact capacity and apply
strong upward pressure on rates in 2013
regardless of the direction of the
economy. Market analysts suggest in
2013 truckload rates will climb about 68 percent overall.
Simply stated – it is widely accepted that
the driver shortage is a long-term trend
in the trucking industry that will be
minimally impacted by the monthly
swings in the U.S. economy. The most
recent survey of for-hire trucking
executives by Randall Reilly Market Place
Survey bears this point out. In February
of 2011, driver availability became the
area of greatest concern for trucking
executives and has remained the top
concern of executives since by a wide
margin in this survey.

Most understand this reality and readily look for external
