Trucks are on the road 24/7. It is therefore imperative that truck drivers are knowledgeable, skilled, and committed to maintaining the safety of everyone on the road and are aware of the state regulations in their relevant travel jurisdiction. That's why the Department of Transportation (DOT) has established Hours-of-Service regulations for commercial drivers who transport both property and passengers. By limiting how much time drivers can spend behind the wheel, we can reduce fatigue, which can lead to accidents, injuries, and even death. Hours of service rules have been created after a long history of deadly accidents that could/should have been prevented.
Missing as little as 1.5 hours sleep can cause:
• Lack of alertness
• Memory problems
• Moodiness
• Blurred vision
• Memory lapse
• Poor reaction times
Workhub has now created its own fully comprehensive US Hours of Service course. If you know what a logbook is or have used an electronic driver monitoring system is – then you might find all this interesting or at least mandatory. In this 20-minute course we outline regulations enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) that apply to drivers involved in American interstate commerce. The lesson provides commercial motor vehicle drivers a basic awareness of:
• Applicable DOT regulations
• 14-hour duty and 11-hour driving limits
• 60-hour 7-day limits
• 70-hour 8-day limits
• And sleeper berth provisions
This course is presented in HD quality for your browser or full screen or watch in low resolution. There are also closed captions, downloadable handouts, and infographics.
