Railroad Truckers Get Extra Hours—Here’s Why

FMCSA just gave railroad truck drivers a special pass: they can work up to 17 hours (instead of 14) when dealing with emergencies like derailments, track issues, or crazy weather. But don’t worry—they still can’t drive more than 11 hours straight and have to rest up before hitting the road again. This only kicks in for unplanned events, not every day. Basically, it’s all about keeping trains (and us) safe when chaos hits the tracks! #Transportation #RailroadNews #Trucking
