Hours of Service of Drivers: WestRock
Application for Renewal of Exemption
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of provisional renewal of
exemption; request for comments.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its
decision to provisionally renew the
exemption currently held by WestRock
from the hours-of-service (HOS)
regulations that prohibit drivers from
operating property-carrying commercial
motor vehicles (CMVs) after 14 hours on
duty and require 10 hours off duty
before resuming driving. FMCSA
renews this limited exemption for
WestRock’s shipping department
employees and occasional substitute

commercial driver’s license (CDL)
holders who transport paper mill
products short distances on a public
road between its shipping and receiving
locations. The exemption is restricted to
a specific route, measuring less than 300
feet in one direction, in Chattanooga,
Tennessee. This exemption will allow
these individuals to occasionally work
up to 16 consecutive hours and be
allowed to return to work with less than
the mandatory 10 consecutive hours off
duty. The Agency previously
determined that the CMV operations of
WestRock’s drivers under this
exemption would likely maintain a level
of safety equivalent to or greater than
the level of safety that would be
achieved in the absence of the
exemption. The exemption renewal is
for 5 years.

effective from April 17, 2024, and
expires on April 16, 2029. Comments
must be received on or before February
20, 2024.
