What are the HOS requirements for passenger-carrying vehicles?

HOS rules for passenger-carrying CMVs differ from those for property-carrying vehicles.

• 10-hour driving limit: Drivers may drive a maximum of 10 hours following 8 consecutive hours off-duty.

• 15-hour on-duty limit: Total on-duty hours cannot exceed 15 hours in a single shift.

• No 30-minute break rule: Passenger-carrying drivers are not required to take a 30-minute break.

These rules ensure passenger safety while accounting for the unique nature of passenger transport operations.
