Outlined are the rules for driving, work and rest time in the United States. This log book information will keep you in compliance with hours of service regulations in the United States.

In the United States, you are allowed to drive a maximum of 11 hours. The 11 hours of driving must occur within a 14 hour window. In other words, if you start driving at 8am, you cannot drive after 10pm at night.

As well, you must take a 30-minute break at or before the 8 hours of your work day. For example if you start working at 7am, you must take a 30 minute break at or before 3pm in the afternoon.

And between each work period, you must have 10 consecutive hours off-duty. For example, if you stop your work day at 6pm in the evening, you cannot drive again until 4am. And again, the off-duty time must be consecutive.

In the United States, the 2 work cycles are 60 hours in 7 days if the company for which you work does not operate 24/7. If the trucking company operates 24/7--in other words it never closes--you can work 70 hours in 8 days. The most common violations for CDL drivers is working more hours than allowed by the work cycle. Learn how to calculate your work cycle here: https://youtu.be/QauNRJtsEfo

Log sheets must be handed into the company every 13 days, but most companies have drivers hand in log sheets at the end of every trip. And the driver's log book must be supported by other documents - bills of lading, fuel and lodging receipts, etc. See video: https://youtu.be/P6xKGi04xmI

You must have the number of log sheets in the vehicle with you as per the cycle on which you are working. For example, if you're working on the 60 hours in 7 days, you must have 7 days in the vehicle. And for the other cycle 8 days in the vehicle. Supporting documents only have to be kept in the vehicle for the current trip.
