HOS Rules Overview

About the Training

Hours of Service rules govern how long a commercial driver can operate and when rest is required. This training lays out the core federal limits — the 11-hour drive time, the 14-hour window, the 30-minute break, and the 60/70-hour cycles — so drivers understand the framework that keeps them legal and rested.

What You'll Learn

  • State the 11-hour driving limit and the 14-hour on-duty window
  • Explain the 30-minute break requirement and when it applies
  • Describe the 60/70-hour limits and how the 34-hour restart works
  • Identify which duty status applies to each part of the workday
