But the FMCSA and OSHA have managed to issue rules and regulations about the working hours of truck drivers. These rules and regulations are showing that when a truck driver reaches 70 hours, he is not allowed to drive until he takes 34 hours off duty.
In general, truck drivers are reaching 70 hours by working 14-hour days. But they should keep in mind that they are not allowed to drive more than 11 hours in a day.
Thereupon, each truck driver who is part of the trucking industry in the USA should work in compliance with the “Hours of Service”.
