How many off duty hours must a driver have during a day?

  1. 5

  2. 8

  3. 10

  4. 12

The correct answer is: 10

A driver must have a minimum of 10 off-duty hours during a day to ensure adequate rest and recovery. This requirement is in place to promote safety on the roads by reducing the risk associated with driver fatigue. Having sufficient time off-duty allows drivers to rest properly, which is essential for maintaining alertness and focus while operating a vehicle. While the other options may represent hours of rest, they do not meet the regulatory standards that prioritize safety in the trucking industry. The emphasis on a minimum of 10 hours aligns with best practices for ensuring that drivers are ready and capable of performing their duties safely.
