There's no regulations on how much you actually need to spend sleeping, although you do need to use good judgment in that arena. A CDL driver does a morning pre-trip. From that point, they have 14 hours to complete all of their driving. Within that 14 hour period, they are permitted to drive for 11 hours, after which, they are required to take a 10 hour break.

How many hours are you supposed to drive in one day?

For a non-CDL holder there is no legal restriction on the number of hours. Just be sure to pace yourself and don't run the risk of falling asleep at the wheel. For CDL holders I believe the maximum number of hours you can have logged is 10 hours, and then you are required to be "off-the-book" for at least 8 hours before you can drive again.

Can you repo with a cdl?

You can repo without one. You only need a CDL if you're going to be operating vehicles or combinations which would require a CDL in normal operation. So, if you're repossessing Class 8 trucks, you'd need a CDL. If you're just repossessing a passenger car, you wouldn't need it.
