CMV Safety: Hours of Service is a practical training course designed to help drivers and employers understand HoS regulations, avoid violations, and maintain safe, compliant driving practices.

Training Objectives

• Learn about common mistakes that lead to violations
• Know what drivers are responsible for in compliance
• Stay safe, rested, and within the rules on every drive

Course Overview

Managing driving hours is one of the most critical responsibilities in commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations. Hours of Service (HoS) regulations, established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), are designed to prevent fatigue, reduce accidents, and ensure drivers operate safely and within legal limits.

This course provides a clear, practical understanding of HoS rules under 49 CFR Parts 385, 386, 390, and 395. Participants will learn how to manage driving time, required rest periods, and duty status requirements without confusion or guesswork. The training breaks down complex regulations into easy-to-follow guidelines that drivers and employers can apply immediately.

You’ll also explore common compliance pitfalls—such as logging errors, missed breaks, and improper recordkeeping—that often lead to violations and penalties. The course emphasizes the importance of accurate logs, regular monitoring, and proactive communication between drivers and employers to ensure compliance at all times.

In addition to regulatory knowledge, this training reinforces the connection between proper rest and safe driving. By understanding how HoS rules protect against fatigue, drivers can make better decisions on the road and maintain consistent performance.

Whether you are a driver or responsible for managing a fleet, this course equips you with the knowledge to stay compliant, reduce risk, and keep operations running smoothly.
