	The '''hours of service''' ('''HOS''') are regulations issued by the ] (FMCSA) governing the working hours of anyone operating a ] (CMV) in the ] for the purpose of "]"—here, moving commercial goods from one ] to another. This includes ]s and ]s who operate CMVs for motor carriers (their employers). These rules limit the number of daily and weekly hours spent driving and working, and regulate the minimum amount of time drivers must spend resting between driving shifts. For ] commerce, the respective state's regulations apply.

	The FMCSA is a division of the ] (DOT), which is generally responsible for enforcement of FMCSA regulations. The driver of a CMV is required to keep a record of working hours using a ], outlining the total number of hours spent driving and resting, as well as the time at which the change of duty status occurred. In lieu of a log book, a ] may keep track of a driver's hours using an ] (EOBR), which automatically records the amount of time spent driving the vehicle.

	The HOS's main purpose is to prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue. This is accomplished by limiting the number of driving hours per day, and the number of driving and working hours per week. Fatigue is also prevented by keeping drivers on a 21- to 24-hour schedule, maintaining a natural sleep/wake cycle. Drivers are required to take a daily minimum period of rest, and are allowed longer "weekend" rest periods to combat cumulative fatigue effects that accrue on a weekly basis.

	Enforcement of the HOS is generally handled by DOT officers of each state, and are sometimes checked when CMVs pass through ]s. Drivers found to be in violation of the HOS can be forced to stop driving for a certain period of time, which may negatively affect the ]. Requests to change the HOS are a source of contentious debate, and many surveys indicate some drivers get away with routinely violating the HOS. These facts have started another debate on whether motor carriers should be required to use EOBRs in their vehicles, instead of relying on paper-based log books.

	Drivers subject to the HOS include any driver of a vehicle which has a gross vehicle weight of {{convert\|10001\|lb}} or more; which is designed or used to transport more than 8 passengers (including the driver) for compensation; which is designed or used to transport more than 15 passengers (including the driver) and is not used to transport passengers for compensation; or which is used to transport ] in quantities requiring the vehicle to be marked or ]ed under the hazardous materials regulations.<ref name="FMCSA"/>

	The purpose of the HOS is to reduce accidents caused by driver ]. As the graph to the right illustrates, the number of hours spent driving has a strong correlation to the number of fatigue-related accidents. According to numerous studies, the risk of fatigue is also greatest between the hours of midnight and six in the morning, and increases with the total length of the driver's trip.<ref name="FMCSA"/>

	The FMCSA identifies three main factors in driver fatigue: ] effects, ] and cumulative fatigue effects, and industrial or "time-on-task" fatigue.

	Circadian rhythm effects describe the tendency for humans to experience a normal cycle in attentiveness and sleepiness through the 24-hour day. Those with a conventional sleep pattern (sleeping for seven or eight hours at night) experience periods of maximum fatigue in the early hours of the morning and a lesser period in the early afternoon. During the low points of this cycle, one experiences reduced attentiveness. During the high points, it is difficult to sleep soundly. The cycle is anchored in part by ambient lighting (darkness causes a person's body to release the hormone ], which induces sleep),<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/melatonin-000315.htm \|title=Melatonin \|accessdate=2008-04-24 \|publisher=University of Maryland Medical Center }}</ref> and by a person's imposed pattern of regular sleeping and waking times. The influence of the day-night cycle is never fully displaced (artificial lighting is not strong enough to inhibit the release of melatonin),<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/465494_25 \|title=Pathophysiology and Treatment of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders \|accessdate=2008-04-24 \|author=Czeisler, Charles A \|publisher=Medscape \|work= }}</ref> and the performance of night shift workers usually suffers. Circadian rhythms are persistent, and can only be shifted by one to two hours forward or backward per day. Changing the starting time of a work shift by more than these amounts will reduce attentiveness, which is common after the first night shift following a "weekend" break during which conventional sleep times were followed.<ref name=graph/>

	Sleep deprivation and cumulative fatigue effects describe how individuals who fail to have an adequate period of sleep (7–8 hours in 24 hours) or who have been awake longer than the conventional 16–17 hours will suffer sleep deprivation. A sleep deficit accumulates with successive sleep-deprived days, and additional fatigue may be caused by breaking daily sleep into two shorter periods in place of a single unbroken period of sleep. A sleep deficit is not instantly reduced by one night's sleep; it may take two or three conventional sleep cycles for an individual to return to unimpaired performance.<ref name=graph/>

	Industrial or "time-on-task" fatigue describes fatigue that is accumulated during the working period, and affects performance at different times during the shift. Performance declines the longer a person is engaged in a task, gradually during the first few hours and more steeply toward the end of a long period at work. Reduced performance has also been observed in the first hour of work as an individual adjusts to the working environment.<ref name=graph/>

	'''Sleeper berth''' time is any amount of time spent inside the sleeper berth (e.g., resting or sleeping). FMCSA regulation §393.76 gives the minimum requirements for a space to be defined as a sleeper berth.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.asp?section=393.76#49CFR393.76 \|title=§393.76 Sleeper berths \|accessdate=2008-01-31 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration }}</ref> The simple definition is an area separate from (usually immediately behind) the driving controls that includes a bed. The rules do not explicitly require that a driver must sleep, only that a driver must take a period of "rest" within the sleeper berth or off-duty (i.e., home). A statement made by the ICC in 1937 gives the reason: "We have no control over the manner in which a driver may spend his time off-duty, although some of his spare time activities may tire him as much as any work would do. We can only emphasize, by this comment, the responsibility which is the driver’s own to assure himself of adequate rest and sleep, in the time available for this purpose, to insure safety of his driving, and likewise the employer’s responsibility to see that his drivers report for work in fit condition."<ref name="FMCSA"/>

	In 1938, the now-abolished ] (ICC) enforced the first HOS rules.<ref name="FMCSA">{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/espa%F1ol/english/pdfs/050200p.htm \|title=Hours of Service of Drivers; Driver Rest and Sleep for Safe Operations; Proposed Rule \|accessdate=2008-02-16 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration}}</ref> Drivers were limited to 12 hours of work within a 15-hour period. Work was defined as ‘‘loading, unloading, driving, handling freight, preparing reports, preparing vehicles for service, or performing any other duty pertaining to the transportation of passengers or property.’’<ref name="FMCSA"/> The ICC intended the 3-hour difference between 15 hours on-duty and 12 hours of work to be used for meals and rest breaks. The weekly maximum was limited to 60 hours over 7 days (non-daily drivers), or 70 hours over 8 days (daily drivers). These rules allowed for 12 hours of work within a 15-hour period, 9 hours of rest, with 3 hours for breaks within a 24-hour day.

	Within a short time, however, representatives of ] (including the ], the ], and the ]) petitioned for a stay of the original regulations. A few motor carriers made a similar request. The ICC agreed, and oral arguments were heard again. Labor wanted HOS limits of 8 hours per day and 48 hours per week. The ICC commented "there was no statistical or other information which would enable to say definitely how long a driver can safely work."<ref name="FMCSA"/> According to the ICC: "The evidence before us clearly does not suffice to enable us to conclude that a duty period as low as 8 hours in 24 is required in the interest of safety. We may call attention, as did the division, to the contrast between factory operations, generally sustained in character, and the operation of busses and trucks, generally characterized by frequent stops ... because of conditions encountered in highway and street traffic. The monotony or nervous and physical strain of driving such vehicles is alleviated by these breaks in the periods devoted to driving, and the period of actual work is considerably below the period on-duty."<ref name="FMCSA"/>

	Within six months of the original ruling, the ICC ultimately decided to change the 12-hour ''work'' limit in 24 hours to a 10-hour ''driving'' limit in 24 hours, and the 15-hour on-duty limit was rescinded. Motor carriers were required to give drivers 8, rather than 9, consecutive hours off-duty each day.<ref name="FMCSA"/> These rules allowed for 10 hours of driving and 8 hours of rest within a 24-hour day.

	In 1962, for reasons it never clearly explained, the ICC eliminated the 24-hour cycle rule,<ref name="FMCSA"/> and reinstated the 15-hour on-duty limit.<ref name=iihs>{{cite web \|url=http://www.iihs.org/sr/pdfs/sr3206.pdf \|title=Status Report - Special issue: truck driver fatigue \|accessdate=2008-03-12 \|publisher=Insurance Institute for Highway Safety \|format=PDF}}</ref> With 10 hours of driving and 8 hours of sleep, drivers were allowed to maintain an 18-hour cycle, disrupting the driver's natural 24-hour circadian rhythm. This change allowed up to 16 hours of driving per day, allowing the driver to exhaust their weekly limits in as little as five days. Later, an added exception for trucks equipped with sleeper berths meant drivers were allowed to "split" their 8-hour off-duty time into two parts. With the new splitting provision, a driver could take two 4-hour periods of rest. Using one of these short rest periods would effectively "stop the on-duty clock", allowing the driver to split the 15-hour on-duty time limit into two parts as well. These rules allowed for 10 hours of work within a 15-hour time limit, and 8 hours of rest within an 18-hour day.<ref name="FMCSA"/>

	Between 1962 and 2003, there were numerous proposals to change the HOS again, but none were ever finalized. By this time, the ICC had been abolished, and regulations were now issued by the FMCSA. The 2003 changes applied only to property-carrying drivers (i.e., truck drivers). These rules allowed 11 hours of driving within a 14-hour period, and required 10 hours of rest.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/rulemakings/final/05-16498-HOS-Final-Rule-8-25-05.htm \|title=Hours of Service of Drivers \|accessdate=2008-02-17 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration}}</ref> These changes would allow drivers (using the entire 14-hour on-duty period) to maintain a natural 24-hour cycle, with a bare minimum 21-hour cycle (11 hours driving, 10 hours rest). However, the retention of the split sleeper berth provision would allow drivers to maintain irregular, short-burst sleeping schedules.

	The most notable change of 2003 was the introduction of the "34-hour restart." Before the change, drivers could only gain more weekly driving hours with the passing of each day (which reduced their 70-hour total by the number of hours driven on the earliest day of the weekly cycle). After the change, drivers were allowed to "reset" their weekly 70-hour limit to zero, by taking 34 consecutive hours off-duty. This provision was introduced to combat the cumulative fatigue effects that accrue on a weekly basis, and to allow for two full nights of rest (e.g., during a weekend break).<ref name="FMCSA"/>

	In 2005, the FMCSA changed the rules again, ''practically'' eliminating the split sleeper berth provision.<ref name=new>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/topics/hos/HOS-2005.htm \|title=Hours-of-Service Regulations - Effective October 1, 2005 \|accessdate=2008-02-17 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration }}</ref> Drivers are now required to take a full 8 hours of rest, with 2 hours allowed for off-duty periods, for a total of 10 hours off-duty. This provision forced drivers to take one longer uninterrupted period of rest, but eliminated the flexibility of allowing drivers to take naps during the day without jeopardizing their driving time. Today's rule still allows them to "split" the sleeper berth period, but one of the splits must be 8 hours long and the remaining 2 hours do not stop the 14-hour on-duty period. This rule is confusing and impractical for most drivers, resulting in the majority of drivers taking the full 10-hour break.<ref name=ooida3/><ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.iihs.org/laws/comments/pdf/comment_fmcsa_2008-03-06.pdf \|title=Work Schedules of Long-Distance Truck Drivers Before and After 2004 Hours-of-Service Rule Change \|accessdate=2008-05-11 \|publisher=Insurance Institute for Highway Safety \|format=PDF \|author=McCartt, Annie T }}</ref>

	FMCSA rules prohibit driving a property-carrying CMV more than 11 hours or to drive after having been on-duty for 14 hours. The 3-hour difference between the 11-hour driving limit and the 14-hour on-duty limit gives drivers the opportunity to take care of non-driving working duties such as loading and unloading cargo, fueling the vehicle, and required vehicle inspections, as well as non-working duties such as meal and rest breaks. After completing a 11- to 14-hour on-duty period, the driver must be allowed 10 hours off-duty.<ref name=prop>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.asp?rule_toc=764&section=395.3&section_toc=1940 \|title=§395.3 Maximum driving time for property-carrying vehicles \|accessdate=2008-01-31 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration}}</ref>

	==Log book==<!---This section is linked from the "Log book" disambiguation page and possibly other pages. Please do not rename it.--->
	]

	Every driver of a CMV is required to keep track of his/her time with a log book<ref name="logbook">{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.asp?section=395.8# \|title=§395.8 Driver's record of duty status \|accessdate=2008-01-31 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration }}</ref> or an EOBR.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.asp?rule_toc=764&section=395.15&section_toc=1947 \|title=§395.15 Automatic on board recording devices \|accessdate=2008-03-08 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration }}</ref> A log book is simply a notebook with a grid pattern on every page, dividing the 24-hour day into 15-minute (1/4-hour) segments. Drivers are required to make ] of each page, so one page may be kept with the driver (to be produced upon inspection by DOT officers), and so the other copy may be sent to the driver's employer.<ref name="logbook"/>

	An electronic on-board recorder can be thought of as an automated electronic log book. An EOBR records the same information as a manual paper log book, and requires less input from the driver. The EOBR automatically records driving time and location, leaving the driver responsible only for reporting on-duty time. In these respects, the EOBR is less susceptible to forgery than a paper log book.<ref name=NTSB>{{cite web \|url=http://www.ntsb.gov/speeches/rosenker/mvr070501.htm \|title=Testimony of Mark V. Rosenker, Chairman, National Transportation Safety Board \|accessdate=2008-03-16 \|publisher=National Transportation Safety Board }}</ref>

	FMCSA rules require that a log book (or EOBR) must record for each change of duty status (e.g., the place of reporting for work, or starting to drive), the name of the ], ] or ], with ]. If a change of duty status occurs at a location other than a city, the highway number and nearest milepost or the nearest two intersecting roadways followed by the name of the nearest city must be recorded. In addition to the time grid, a log book must record the date, total miles driving for the day, truck and trailer number, name of carrier, ] number, and the driver's signature. The driver is required to retain a copy of each log page for the previous seven consecutive days which must be in his/her possession and available for inspection while on-duty.<ref name="logbook"/>

	==Exceptions==

	There are numerous exceptions to these rules, some of these include but are not limited to:<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.asp?section=395.1# \|title=§395.1 Scope of rules in this part \|accessdate=2008-01-31 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration}}</ref>

	==Enforcement==

	The HOS are issued, among other industry-related regulations, by the FMCSA. In this instance, federal regulations apply only to interstate commerce. Commerce which does not involve the crossing of state lines is considered intrastate, and is under the jurisdiction of the respective state's laws. However, most states have adopted intrastate regulations which are identical or very similar to the federal HOS regulations.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/truck/driver/hos/hos-faqs.asp#_Toc111021227 \|title=HOS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) \|accessdate=2008-02-24 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration \|work=B-1. Do these HOS regulations apply to intrastate commerce? }}</ref>

	Enforcement of the HOS rules is generally handled by DOT officers of their respective states, although any ordinary police officer may inspect a driver's log book.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE0DF1F30F930A25753C1A96F948260 \|title=Inspectors Tripping Up Truck Drivers \|accessdate=2008-05-12 \|publisher=] \|author=James, George \|date=1989-10-13 }}</ref> States are responsible for maintaining ]s<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://science.howstuffworks.com/question626.htm \|title=How do truck weigh stations work? \|accessdate=2008-03-08 \|publisher=HowStuffWorks, Inc }}</ref> commonly located at the borders between states, where drivers are pulled in for random vehicle inspections (although some of the inspections are based on the ]).<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/about.aspx \|title=About SAFER \|accessdate=2008-02-25 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration }}</ref> Otherwise, a driver may be pulled over for random checks by police officers or DOT officials at any time. Drivers are required to maintain their log books to current status, and if inspections reveal any sort of discrepancy, lack of upkeep, or blatant violations, drivers may be put "out of service" for 10 hours due to a daily hours limit violation, or for 34 hours due to a weekly hours limit violation (i.e., until the driver has accumulated enough off-duty time to be back in compliance).<ref name=vio/> Being put out of service means a driver may not drive his/her truck during the prescribed limit under risk of further penalty. Repeated violations can result in fines from $1,000 to $11,000 and a downgrade in the motor carrier's safety rating.<ref name=vio>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/truck/driver/hos/hos-faqs.asp#_Toc111021228 \|title=HOS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) \|accessdate=2008-02-24 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration \|work=B-2. What are the penalties for violating the HOS rules?}}</ref>

	Long-haul drivers are normally paid by the mile, not by the hour.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos246.htm \|title=Truck Drivers and Driver/Sales Workers \|accessdate=2008-05-10 \|publisher=] \|work= }}</ref> Legally, truck drivers are not required to receive ] for hours worked in excess of the standard 40-hour work week.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_782/29CFR782.3.htm \|title=29 CFR 782.3 - Exemption from Maximum Hours Provisions for Certain Employees of Motor Carriers \|accessdate=2008-02-24 \|publisher=U.S. Department of Labor }}</ref> Some drivers may choose to violate the HOS to earn more money.<ref name="FMCSA"/><ref name=mjs>{{cite web \|url=http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=645634 \|title=Franklin truck firm's fines among highest in industry \|accessdate=2008-03-22 \|publisher=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel }}</ref> Being paid by the mile, any work performed that is not actual driving is of no value to the driver, providing incentive to falsify the amount of time spent performing non-driving duties.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.is.wayne.edu/mbelzer/pubs/HoursOfServiceReport2002March6.pdf \|title=Proposed Changes in Motor Carrier Hours of Service Regulations: An Assessment \|accessdate=2008-03-08 \|publisher=University of Michigan \|format=PDF }}</ref> Drivers who falsify their log books often under-report their non-driving duties (such as waiting to be loaded and unloaded) which they are not paid for, and under-report their driving time or total miles. Many drivers who receive mileage pay are not paid by logged miles or actual miles,<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.heavydutytrucking.com/2002/02/010a0202.asp \|title=What's In A Mile?: Calculating mileage is a financial & emotional issue for drivers. \|accessdate=2008-04-24 \|publisher=Newport Communications \|author=Whistler, Deborah }}</ref> instead, motor carriers use computer mapping software (such as PC Miler)<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.alk.com/pcmiler/ \|title=Business Solutions from PC*MILER: ALK Technologies \|accessdate=2008-04-24 \|publisher=ALK Technologies }}</ref> or published mileage guides (such as the ] Household Goods Carriers' Bureau Mileage Guide).<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/company/cmpGenFaq2.jsp?CatOid=-38302&SubCatOid=-1073755346&cmty=0 \|title=Rand McNally FAQ \|accessdate=2008-04-24 \|publisher=Rand McNally }}</ref> PATT suggests that paying all drivers by the hour would reduce HOS violations by removing the incentive to "cheat the system" by driving more miles than are being logged.<ref name=iihs/> Surveys by OOIDA report 80% of drivers are not paid for waiting times while loading and unloading, and the majority of those drivers log these times as off-duty (while regulations require they be logged as on-duty). These same drivers reported they would log these times as on-duty if they were paid reasonably for such delays.<ref name="FMCSA"/>

	Drivers can get away with this rule-breaking due to their paper-based log books.<ref name=mjs/> As a driver records their time spent behind the wheel, there is very little to stop them from forging their log books.<ref name=cdc>{{cite web \|url=http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2007-120/pdfs/2007-120.pdf \|title=Truck Driver Occupational Safety and Health \|accessdate=2008-05-10 \|publisher=Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \|author=Saltzman, Gregory M \|format=PDF }}</ref> There is very superficial oversight and some drivers take advantage of this fact. Surveys indicate that between 25% and 75% of drivers violate the HOS.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.iihs.org/laws/comments/pdf/comment_fmsca_atm_041807.pdf \|title=Electronic On-Board Recorders for Hours-of-Service Compliance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; Docket No. FMCSA-2004-18940 \|accessdate=2008-02-26 \|publisher=Insurance Institute for Highway Safety \|format=PDF }}</ref><ref name="FMCSA"/> Other drivers maintain more than one log book, showing falsified versions to enforcement officers.<ref name=NTSB/>

	Trucking companies (motor carriers) can also play a role in HOS violations.<ref name=cdc/> Certain carriers may choose to knowingly ignore HOS violations made by their drivers, or even encourage their drivers to do so. Allowing drivers to violate the HOS is an effective cost-cutting measure used mostly by non-union, long haul carriers. Permitting HOS violations allows a carrier to hire fewer drivers, and run on fewer trucks than a company which follows the rules. To comply with the HOS, these companies would have to hire more drivers (possibly driving up wages) and purchase additional trucks and trailers. Making a change to comply with the law is complicated by competition with carriers that already comply with HOS regulations. Due to this competition, carriers who choose to switch from non-compliance could not pass on all of their increased costs associated with HOS compliance to their customers.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.entrepreneur.com/tradejournals/article/93740286_3.html \|title=The case for strengthened motor carrier hours of service regulations. \|accessdate=2008-04-26 \|publisher=Entrepreneur.com \|work= }}</ref>

	Several private and public motor carriers such as ],<ref name=iihs/> ],<ref name=iihs/> and ], have voluntarily implemented electronic on-board recorders to ensure drivers are in compliance with the federal regulations, to reduce the errors and hassles associated with paper log books, and to improve driver retention and recruitment.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.werner.com/content/res/drv/paperless/faq/ \|title=Paperless Log System FAQ \|accessdate=2008-03-08 \|publisher=Werner Enterprises }}</ref> EOBRs automatically record the driving time and cannot be forged. Any violation of the HOS will automatically be recorded and reported to the company. The FMCSA is considering making EOBRs mandatory for all motor carriers.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/rulemakings/rule-programs/rule_making_details.asp?ruleid=166&year=2008&cat=proposed \|title=Proposed Rule: Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRs) for Documenting Hours of Service; Listening Session \|accessdate=2008-02-24 \|publisher=Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration }}</ref>
