Yes. For the safety of both truck drivers and others on the road, the U.S. Department of Transportation regulates the number of hours a trucker can drive each day and the total number of hours they can drive per week. Truckers may work no more than 60 hours over seven consecutive days or 70 hours over eight days. Drivers may be on duty for up to 14 hours after 10 hours off duty but can’t exceed 11 hours of driving time within that period. They must also take a 30-minute break after driving eight consecutive hours.
