Why do hours-of-service rules exist for commercial drivers?
- A To increase fuel sales
- B To set ticket prices
- To limit fatigue by capping driving and on-duty time
- D To reduce vehicle weight
Why: Hours-of-service limits are designed to manage driver fatigue by capping how long a driver can be on duty and behind the wheel.
Under the standard rules, the maximum daily driving time for a commercial driver is:
- 13 hours
- B 10 hours
- C 8 hours
- D 16 hours
Why: A driver may not drive after accumulating 13 hours of driving time in a day under the standard hours-of-service rules.
Under the standard rules, a driver may not drive after how many hours of on-duty time in a day?
- A 10 hours
- 14 hours
- C 20 hours
- D 24 hours
Why: A driver may not drive after 14 hours of on-duty time in a day, even if the 13-hour driving limit has not been reached.
What counts as "on-duty time"?
- A Only the time the wheels are turning
- B Days off
- C Time spent sleeping at home
- Driving plus other work such as loading, inspections and waiting under instruction
Why: On-duty time includes driving and all other work (inspections, loading, fuelling and required waiting), not just time spent driving.
A daily log (record of duty status) generally records all of the following EXCEPT:
- A Driving time
- B On-duty (not driving) time
- The colour of the load
- D Off-duty time
Why: A daily log records your driving, on-duty, off-duty and sleeper-berth time, not irrelevant details like the colour of the cargo.
A driver subject to the rules must generally be able to produce daily logs for the previous:
- 14 days
- B 7 days
- C 24 hours
- D 90 days
Why: Drivers must keep and be able to produce their daily logs for the previous 14 days.
