A new bill in Congress—the HELP Act—aims to permanently exempt livestock haulers from federal HOS and ELD rules.
Introduced by Rep. William Hurd of Colorado, the Hauling Exemptions for Livestock Protection Act would apply to both loaded and empty trucks transporting animals, including insects and aquatic species. The bill seeks to ease scheduling challenges and improve animal welfare by giving drivers more flexibility.
Supporters say long mandatory rest breaks can put animals at risk and make routes harder to plan. Unlike temporary waivers issued during emergencies, the HELP Act would create a permanent exemption. While still early in the legislative process, the proposal is gaining attention across the trucking and agricultural industries.

Standing in pens or lots heavily contaminated with #manure softens the #skin and provides high #exposure to the causative bacteria. High temperatures and #humidity will also cause the skin to chap and crack, leaving it susceptible to #bacterial invasion.

Had a some extra time prior to the start of my @AALPClass 19 Thunder Bay seminar so I headed over to “The Barn” feeding station. It was really great to see the station and talk to Andy about the critical role that stations like this play in the movement of cattle in Canada.
