Driving and rest periods are legally defined periods during which truck drivers are allowed to drive and rest. These rules are designed to increase road safety and prevent driver fatigue. European regulations allow drivers to drive a maximum of 9 hours per day, with a weekly limit of 56 hours. In addition, specific rest periods are prescribed, such as daily rest of at least 11 consecutive hours.
The responsibility for complying with driving and rest periods lies with the carrier and the driver. Customers are not directly responsible for complying with these times. However, it is important for customers to be aware of these rules as they can affect deliveries. Customers are encouraged to have realistic expectations regarding delivery times and consider the need for drivers to comply with legal driving and rest periods.
