Under Section 316.302 of the Florida Statutes, a commercial truck driver who operates a vehicle entirely within Florida State lines must adhere to certain limits on consecutive hours and days of driving, including not driving more than 12 hours after 10 consecutive hours of rest, as well as other regulations. Within certain limits, commercial operators must maintain accurate logbooks to record their driving hours unless they operate their vehicles entirely within a 150-mile radius of their home location and do not carry any placarded hazardous materials. If a truck driver is involved in an accident, those logbooks, including more modern electronic logging systems, can provide evidence to show whether or not the driver exceeded the hours of service limits at the time of the crash.
