Background
The Hours of Service (HOS) regulations issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) are governing the working and driving hours of anyone operating a
commercial motor vehicle in the United States.
HOS mainly affects:
• Truck drivers,
• Both commercial and city bus drivers, and school bus drivers.
Who are operating CMVs for motor carriers (their employers).
These regulations limit the number of daily and weekly hours spent driving and working, and
regulate the minimum amount of time drivers must spend resting between driving shifts.
The driver of a CMV is required to keep a record of working hours using a log book:
• outlining the total number of hours spent driving and resting,
• as well as the time at which the change of duty status occurred.
3
Purpose & enforcement of HoS regulations
The HOS's main purpose is to prevent accidents caused by
driver fatigue.
This is accomplished by
• limiting the number of driving hours per day, and the
number of driving and working hours per week.
• keeping drivers on a 21- to 24-hour schedule,
maintaining a natural sleep/wake cycle (or circadian
rhythm).
Drivers are required to take a daily minimum period of rest,
and are allowed longer "weekend" rest periods to combat
cumulative fatigue effects.
Drivers found to be in violation of the HOS can be forced to
stop driving for a certain period of time, which may
negatively affect the motor carrier's safety rating.

Current situation
• Paper worksheets for registering Hours of Service need to be carried along in the vehicle
– Driver needs to fill in his working and driving hours by hand.
– Only the driver has access to Hours of Service information
– Worksheets can get lost. No way for recovery
• Fleet managers do not have any access to Hours of Service information in the vehicle and
cannot monitor the current situation.
• Drivers are calculating their hours themselves to ensure not to infringe the rules.
• High risk of record tampering.
• Solutions for digital Hours of Service registration are available. They are often expensive
and require a second system next to a fleet management solution.
