Regs Covered: Unit A1.5.3 Hours of Service Requirements

This unit must teach driver-trainees to understand that there are different hours-of-service (HOS) requirements applicable to different industries. The training providers must teach driver-trainees all applicable HOS regulatory requirements. The training providers must teach driver-trainees to complete a Driver's Daily Log (electronic and paper), timesheet, and logbook recap, as appropriate. The training providers must teach driver-trainees the consequences (safety, legal, and personal) of violating the HOS regulations, including the fines and penalties imposed for these types of violations.

Overview: The hours-of-service regulations are an important part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).

They apply to commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) involved in interstate commerce and cover two areas:

• Hours of service. The number of hours which drivers can drive and/or work in a given period of time. These are hours drivers must account for; and
• Drivers' time records. What drivers use to keep track of their hours of service.

This course is designed to help drivers learn how to follow the hours-of-service recordkeeping requirements.

Objectives

After completing this course, learners will be able to:

• Describe how to track your hours of service using an electronic logging device
