Yes. The FMCSA regulates the hours of service for the trucking industry. While designated rest breaks are a part of the regulations, it is often difficult for drivers to fully or adequately rest upon demand. An undiagnosed sleep disorder or a lack of rest can cause them to drift off behind the wheel.
If you suspect the truck driver responsible for your crash fell asleep behind the wheel, contact a Boston truck accident lawyer now. We can investigate to determine if the driver drove beyond the allowed hours of service.
