FedEx Home Delivery Applies for HOS Exemption Division | Ground | National | Operations | Safety Health | Off The Clock | |

UPDATED 8/24/06: FedEx withdrew its HOS exemption application as of 8/16/06.  DoT posted FedEx’s letter on 8/23/06.  Drivers should continue to submit comments on HOS violations.  We will keep updating our Resource page.  END UPDATE FedEx Home Delivery submitted an application for an exemption for hours of service requirements for its drivers on July 10.  The Federal Register announced a comment period will run from July 30 until August 30, 2006.  The exemption application wants the Dept of Transportation to allow drivers who drive their delivery vehicles from their last delivery point to their home AND drivers who drive their delivery vehicles to their terminal to be declared as driving “off hours” and thus exempt from the hours of service regs.  The Teamsters oppose this application for exemption due to the possible pressure on drivers to work off the clock and in the interests of both the drivers personal safety and public safety.
