Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common HOS violation?
Exceeding the 11-hour driving limit and the 14-hour on-duty window are the most cited violations. HOS violations are the #1 DOT audit finding with 1.2 million violations issued in 2025.
What happens if my ELD malfunctions?
Drivers must switch to paper logs, note the ELD malfunction, and notify the carrier. The carrier has 8 days to repair or replace the ELD. Continuing to drive with a known ELD malfunction beyond 8 days is a violation.
Does this cover the sleeper berth split rule?
Yes. Our course covers both 7/3 and 8/2 sleeper berth splits with 3D scenarios showing how to maximize driving hours while maintaining compliance.
