Truck drivers typically work long hours, often exceeding the standard 40-hour workweek. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the United States regulates the hours of service for truck drivers to ensure safety. According to FMCSA regulations, truck drivers can drive a maximum of 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. They are also not allowed to drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty, following 10 hours off duty. Additionally, truck drivers must take a 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving without at least a 30-minute interruption. Over a 7-day period, truck drivers are limited to 60 hours on duty, and over an 8-day period, they are limited to 70 hours on duty. In summary, truck drivers often work extensive hours, regulated by the FMCSA to ensure safety. Typically, they can drive up to 11 hours after a 10-hour break and must take a 30-minute break after 8 hours of driving. They are restricted to 60 hours of duty over 7 days and 70 hours over 8 days. These regulations aim to balance the demands of the job with the need for rest and safety on the roads.
