DOT Hours of Service

The Department of Transportation has established "Hours of Service" regulations for commercial drivers who transport property and passengers. Setting limits on the amount of time drivers can spend behind the wheel helps to prevent fatigue that can lead to accidents, injuries and worse. This program focuses on the rules and regulations for truckers who move freight. It will discuss the purpose of these rules, what the regulations themselves require and what truck drivers need to do to comply with them in order to stay safe on the road.
