Make workplace requirements clearer through clear Hours Of Service For Property Carrying Vehicles instruction on federal hours-of-service rules and their practical application.
The Hours Of Service For Property Carrying Vehicles program builds practical awareness and supports consistent workplace decisions. Key outcomes include the ability to describe the reason and essential concepts of hours of service for property carrying vehicles, spot common risks and responsibilities related to hours of service for property carrying vehicles, and use the training guidance during routine work. The material also helps learners respond appropriately when questions or unsafe conditions arise. Practical examples connect the subject to routine tasks, expected procedures, and decisions employees may need to make on the job. Learners finish with a clearer understanding of what to look for, how to respond, and when to raise a concern or seek additional guidance.
Hours of service training is for drivers of property-carrying commercial motor vehicles subject to FMCSA rules. Dispatchers, fleet managers, and safety staff who plan their schedules need it too. It applies to both for-hire and private fleets in interstate commerce. The 9-minute video is available in English and Spanish.
Hours of service rules for truck drivers are set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in 49 CFR Part 395. Part 395 covers driving and on-duty limits, required off-duty time and breaks, records of duty status, and electronic logging devices. Passenger carriers follow separate limits.
A property-carrying truck driver can drive up to 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. All of that driving must fall within a 14-hour window that starts when the workday begins. Once the window closes, the driver can't drive again until taking another 10 hours off.
The 60/70-hour rule bars truck drivers from driving after 60 on-duty hours in 7 consecutive days, or 70 hours in 8 days. Which limit applies depends on whether the carrier operates every day of the week. Taking 34 or more consecutive hours off duty restarts the count.
Truck drivers must take a 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving without at least a 30-minute interruption. Since 2020, the break can be any 30 consecutive minutes off duty, in the sleeper berth, or on duty not driving. Drivers who qualify for the short-haul exception are exempt.
