Time and Hour Limits
Anyone driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) is subject to limits set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). That includes all CDL drivers, as well as anyone driving a passenger vehicle designed to hold at least 9 people (like a limousine). The limits include:
• 10 or 11 hour maximum consecutive hours a CMV driver can drive;
• 14 or 15 hour driving time following time 8 or 10 hours off duty;
• Mandatory rest breaks;
• 60/70 hour work weeks;
• 8 hours consecutive sleep periods (sometimes divided into two periods for passenger vehicles).
Drivers are required to maintain time logs indicating when they drive and when they take breaks. In a Third Party lawsuit, these logs can be used to show that the driver was over their mandatory limits and negligently operating the commercial motor vehicle.
