What Are the Hours of Service Regulations?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration heavily regulated the trucking industry since truck can be so dangerous in the event of an accident. One of these regulations is called the hours of services regulations and they are aimed at preventing fatigued driving, major cause of accidents on the roadways. According to these rules:

• Truck drivers can work 14 hours in one day
• Truck drivers must rest or take meal breaks totaling 3 hours in a day. Meaning they can only drive for a total of 11 hours.
• Driver must rest for at least 10 consecutive hours at the end of each workday
• Truck drivers must take days off work at regular intervals

Who is Liable for a Truck Accident?

One of the first steps of filing a truck accident claim is determining who is liable for your injuries. While it may seem that liability after a truck accident should be straightforward it does take a certain amount of investigation to determine. More often than not, the truck company is held liable for an accident.

At times a the truck driver themselves can be held liable, especially if the accident was caused directly by their negligence, such as driving while drunk. Other liable parties could be the truck manufacturer or the cargo loading team, although this typically happens less often. Ready to get started on your claim?
