DRIVER

U.S. HOS driver assistant

Plan the main FMCSA property-carrier limits: 11-hour driving, 14-hour window, 30-minute break after 8 driving hours, and 60/70-hour cycle.

⚠️ Important

Planning aid only. Always verify state and federal rules, permits, vehicle/tire ratings, route restrictions, carrier tariffs and certified scale weights when they apply.

Main federal HOS limits for property-carrying drivers

  • A property-carrying driver may drive up to 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty.
  • Driving is not permitted beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty, subject to exceptions and special provisions.
  • A 30-minute non-driving interruption is required after 8 cumulative hours of driving without a qualifying interruption, and the 60/70-hour on-duty limits apply over 7/8 consecutive days.
Important: FMCSA has exceptions and special provisions, including short-haul, adverse conditions and sleeper-berth options. This assistant is not an ELD and does not replace the official record of duty status.
