The legislation linked is not about enforced breaks for drivers, though. Does the US have this?

- rascul 4y agoYes. https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hours-service/summary-hours-service-regulations https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hours-service/summary-...
- oblio 4y agoCool, didn't know that, kind of surprising that the US would regulate this, knowing their general stances. The conditions are quite harsh, compare them with this: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/work-abroad/rules-working-road-transport/index_en.htm#shortcut-4 https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/work-abroad/rules...
- tecleandor 4y agoWell, it's still far from EU, but it's something. Although rest times are VERY short. US: - max 11h driving after 10h of rest (that sums 21h, so I guess you can drive 14h a day) - rest 30min every 8h of uninterrupted driving - max 60h driving a week EU: - max 9h driving a day (10h driving allowed twice a week) - rest 45min every 4.5h of uninterrupted driving - max 56h driving a week. max 90 every two weeks.
