Hours of Service Training
This Hours of Service Training curriculum will help drivers and carriers be compliant while maximizing available hours through a full understanding of how the limits affect safety and productivity.
Time is limited. No one can add a minute to an hour, day, or week. For professional drivers, time is further limited by the hours of service regulations. The purpose of the hours of service regulations is to keep tired drivers off the road. After many hours behind the wheel, fatigue sets in and can lead to bad decisions and deadly crashes. For the safety of all drivers, compliance with the hours of service regulations has been required of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers since the 1930s.
“Hours of Service” (HOS) refers to the maximum amount of time CMV drivers are permitted to be on duty. These regulations also specify the number and length of rest periods in an effort to prevent fatigue-related accidents.
The Hours of Service Training curriculum will help drivers and carriers to be compliant while maximizing the available hours through a full understanding of how the limits affect safety and productivity.
