What is HOS?
The Hours of Service regulations from FMCSA cover the use of commercial vehicles for transport of goods and passengers. HOS regulations cover areas such as the maximum number of consecutive hours a driver can stay on the road, the amount of time required for rest breaks, and the number of consecutive days a driver can work.
HOS Compliance
Most drivers must follow the HOS Regulations if they drive a commercial motor vehicle, or CMV.
