Navigating Hours of Service (HOS) in Chauffeured Transportation: A Guide to Staying Compliant and Safe In the chauffeured transportation industry, adhering to Hours of Service (HOS) regulations is crucial. These rules are not just for long-haul truckers; they significantly impact our sector as well. Their primary goal is to ensure that our drivers are operating in the safest and most restful conditions, which in turn enables them to provide top-notch service to our clients. Let’s delve into what these regulations entail and how they apply to our field. Why HOS Matters in Chauffeured Transportation HOS rules aren’t just for big trucks and buses; they’re crucial for passenger transportation as well. These regulations are in place to ensure our drivers aren’t overworked, which helps prevent fatigue-related accidents. They apply to drivers in interstate commerce, operating vehicles designed or used to carry 9 passengers (including the driver) for compensation. Keep in mind that most states have adopted federal interstate HOS rules for intrastate operators, while some others have their own unique rules. The Three Big Rules for HOS 1.) 15-Hour On-Duty Limit: Our drivers can’t be on duty (which includes driving and other work tasks) for more than 15 hours at a stretch. Keep in mind that no violation actually occurs until a driver crosses over the 15 hours on duty, and drives again before their legally required 8-hour break. It’s like saying, “After 15 hours, let’s take a well-deserved break.” Drivers are allowed to stop their on-duty 15-hour clock by going off duty. This is different than cargo carriers once their day starts, where the clock runs continuously meaning their day must end on time if they are still going to be driving at the end of their day. 2.) 8-Hour Consecutive Break??Once a driver hits that 15-hour mark, they need to take a break for at least 8 consecutive hours. Think of it as the necessary recharge time. 3.) 60/70-Hour Limit: Here’s a bigger-picture rule. If our drivers are operating every day of the week, they can’t be on duty for more than 60 hours over 7 consecutive days or 70 hours over 8 consecutive days. It’s about keeping the work week balanced. HOS Record-Keeping: Traditional vs. 150 Air-Mile Exemption When it comes to keeping track of these hours, we’ve got two main methods: ... to read the full article visit our website at lbcfleet.com/blog-2/
