Snack Truckers Nap in Shifts: Feds Bend Rules for Flexible Rests
Published Date: 4/9/2025
Notice
Summary
McKee Foods Transportation got the green light to keep splitting their drivers' rest time into two parts, as long as each break is at least two hours and adds up to 10 hours total. This means their team drivers can rest more flexibly without breaking safety rules. The change keeps things safe and helps drivers manage their time better, with no extra costs involved.

McKee drivers can split rest
If you are a McKee Foods team driver, FMCSA renewed an exemption letting you take the equivalent of 10 consecutive hours off duty by splitting sleeper-berth time into two periods that together total 10 hours, provided neither period is less than two hours. FMCSA determined the exemption is likely to achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than without the exemption.
