Comments Off on DEGESCH AMERICA, INC. REBRANDING ANNOUNCEMENT

Degesch America, Inc. is proud to announce the rebranding of our company logo. We remain committed to our core values: safety, customer service, quality, and product stewardship. This rebranding further aligns us with our global partners and represents the Detia-Degesch Group’s ever-expanding outreach to better serve our international customer base. The process will continue through 2022 as we navigate through full implementation of the transition.

Along with the rebranding, we are introducing our newly designed, easy to navigate website. Its added content will allow straightforward access to our careers and service pages. Enhanced features will include training videos, podcasts, social media, and more. Thank you for your continued support.

On June 1, 2020, FMCSA revised the hours of service (HOS) regulations to provide greater flexibility for drivers without adversely affecting safety. Motor carriers are required to comply with the new HOS regulations starting on September 29, 2020, not before.

What is Changing?

1. Short-haul Exception

Expands the short-haul exception to 150 air-miles and allows a 14-hour work shift to take place as part of the exception.

2. Adverse Driving Conditions Exception

Expands the driving window during adverse driving conditions by up to an additional 2 hours.

3. 30-Minute Break Requirement

Requires a 30-minute break after 8 hours of driving time (instead of on-duty time) and allows an on-duty/not driving period to qualify as the required break.

4. Sleeper Berth Provision

Modifies the sleeper berth exception to allow a driver to meet the 10-hour minimum off-duty requirement by spending at least 7, rather than at least 8 hours of that period in the berth and a minimum off-duty period of at least 2 hours spent inside or outside the berth, provided the two periods total at least 10 hours, and that neither qualify period counts against the 14-hour driving window.

This week Degesch America, Inc, in conjunction with Grainnet and Feed Professionals hosted a web based training presentation focused on the prevention of Salmonella, E. coli, Campylobacter and other pathogenic bacteria that pose a risk to our food supply.

Juan M Hernandez Vieyra (Feed Professionals) provided us with terrific data highlighting the importance of protecting food supplies from these pathogens, and discussed the products and equipment available to help us accomplish this task.

If you missed this presentation don’t worry; you can view a recording of it here.

Please let us know if we can help you with your commodity protection efforts. We’re only a phone call or email away!
