Yes. Regulations provide that truck drivers must be given a specific amount of time off between shifts—10 hours off for every 11 hours that the truck driver drives, and that the truck driver must take a 30-minute break after every eight hours of driving. These rules do not seem to have substantially alleviated the pressures faced by truck drivers. In fact, we have seen that many truck drivers disobey the rules and take much shorter breaks in an effort to meet unreasonable deadlines and get their cargo to its destination in a shorter period of time. This results in truck drivers who are exhausted behind the wheel, and other truck drivers who use drugs to stay awake. Lack of proper breaks can also result in driver distraction, which is also a leading cause of truck accidents in Florida.
