hours of service

Hours-of-service regulation for commercial drivers: legal driving-time caps, mandatory rest-break and off-duty requirements, electronic logging, and HOS-compliance enforcement. The regulatory duty-hour RULES themselves, distinct from the fatigue state they aim to prevent (truck_driver_fatigue) and from company-level safety administration (fleet_safety).
