One of the hottest topics of the Maryland General Assembly has been the numerous taxes and other fees proposed by the Governor in his annual budget. These include:
- - Reducing itemized mortgage deductions
- - Lowering citizens’ income tax exemptions
- - Increasing the tax on certain tobacco products
- - Adding a sales tax for online purchases
- - Applying Maryland’s 6% sales tax to motor fuels
The last proposed tax hike rose more than a few eyebrows, as it would raise the cost of fuel anywhere from 18 to 23 cents per gallon. However, there are still several questions that have not been answered. These questions include:
- Will it be applied at the wholesale or retail level?
- Does the proposal include diesel fuel or only gasoline?
- How will it impact filings under the International Fuel Tax Agreement?
- Will there be a phase-in (expected to be 2% per year over 3 years)?
- Will the money go to support the Transportation Trust Fund since the sales tax normally goes to support the General Fund?
Until the Governor formerly introduces his plan, speculation will continue.
Other bills that have been introduced this session that may impact the transportation industry include bills that would:
- Require legislative approval before a toll increase.
- Change the off-load policy for perishable products on overweight trucks.
- Expand the MD State Police’s authority to mirror a portion of Parts 385 and 386 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
- Prohibit trucks over 48 feet total length from traveling on Maryland Route 212.
- Prevent transfers of monies out of the Transportation Trust Fund.
- Remove the presumption that a paid worker is an employee rather than, perhaps, an independent contractor.
- Use vehicle height detectors in Baltimore City to enforce truck time-of-day restrictions.
- Redefine those Class E trucks and Class F tractors that are eligible for historic vehicle registrations.
A full list of bills impacting the industry is available at www.mmtanet.com.

The Maryland Motor Truck Association (MMTA) and the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) recently announced the formation of 45 specifically designed emergency truck parking lots across the United States. Now, when road conditions begin to decline from winter weather storms accumulating six inches of snow or more, truck drivers have a safe haven to wait out the inclimate weather.
And now there is even a smart phone app to help truck drivers find these 45 new parking lots across the U.S. This new mobile app gives truckers an easy way to view and navigate to nearby trucking parking lots using their cell phones.
But do not get caught searching the app while driving! Don’t forget the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) final rule banning handheld cell phone use while driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). So truckers will need to view the application while fueling or stopped and off of the roadway.
To view an interactive map of all lots, print a pdf format of the map, or download the mobile app, go to www.roads.maryland.gov/Pages/Emergencytruckparking.aspx?PageId=856.
If you have any questions about the Emergency Truck Parking Mobile App, please contact Middleton and Meads by calling 410-752-5588 or click here today!

The Maryland Motor Truck Association (MMTA) recently announced several Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) changes to the hours of services rules. Most of these rules will not go into effect until July 1, 2013, but a few become effective next month (February 27, 2012). These include:
• Time resting in a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) will now be counted as off-duty time in lieu of the current on-duty time. It is important to note that this off-duty time does NOT extend the 14 consecutive hour daily limit; however, it can be used to allow a driver to extend his weekly limits. There is no limit on the amount of time that a driver can rest in a parked commercial vehicle.
• A new “egregious” hours of service violation – defined as exceeding the maximum daily drive time of 11 hours by three or more hours – begins in February. The penalty for this violation can be as much as $2,750 for a driver and $11,000 for the motor carrier.
All remaining rule changes do not take effect until July 1, 2013.
More information, including Q&A, a copy of the rule, and a comparison chart summarizing key changes, is available at www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/topics/hos-final/hos-final-rule.aspx.

As of January 3, 2012, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s final rule banning handheld cell phone use officially went into effect. The rule bans all interstate commercial motor vehicle drivers, interstate HAZMAT drivers and intrastate HAZMAT drivers from holding, dialing, and even reaching for a mobile phone.
Any driver found in violation of this rule will face civil penalties up to $2,750 for each offense. Drivers with multiple offenses (two or more violations in three years) risk disqualification from operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV).
Companies found allowing drivers to use handheld devices – including “push-to-talk” – while driving face a maximum penalty of $11,000.
CMV drivers who wish to still use a mobile phone or other handheld device must use a hands-free device, located in close proximity, which requires the pressing of no more than a single button to initiate or terminate a phone call.
If you have any questions about FMCSA rule banning handheld use while driving a CMV, please contact Middleton and Meads by calling 410-752-5588 or click here today!
