In theUS the Hours of Service (HOS) of commercial drivers are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrationa (FMCSA). Commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers are limited to 11 cumulative hours driving in a 14-hour period, which must then be followed by a rest period of no less than 10 consecutive hours. Drivers employed by carriers in "daily operation" may not drive more than 70 hours within any period of 8 consecutive days. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_driver
