On October 23, 2024, the State of Texas eliminated the exemption from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requirements for concrete pumps operating only in Texas. Texas State Highway Patrol has issued a 90-day warning period for implementation of these new concrete pump requirements. By January 21, 2025, all concrete pumps operating in Texas must have a USDOT number and must comply with FMCSA requirements including Hours of Service, medical standards, and driver record keeping, including the use of ELDs.

Recently, an ACPA member contacted the National Office after being told about new federal apprenticeship hiring requirements being applied to three of their jobs in three different states. The apprenticeship requirements are triggered when four or more concrete pumpers work on a job where certain federal tax benefits apply. These apprentice hiring requirements present a serious challenge to concrete pumpers because there are no registered concrete pumper apprenticeship programs in place to provide the required apprentices. This is a classic Catch 22. Fortunately, there is an option.
