It is universally recognized that performing impeccable trucking service<\/a> is first and foremost a great responsibility to others and a great sacrifice.<\/p>\n

Because this is a physically and mentally demanding job, there are regulations regarding rest hours in trucks coming mainly from Art.6 REG. (EC) No.561\/2006 but also by Art. 4 of the Highway Code.<\/p>\n

It is in fact a job that not everyone can do, requiring great stamina and aptitude, as well as the utmost attention and professionalism.<\/p>\n

Today we find out about the hourly regulations for truck drivers, <\/strong>what care must be taken to do the best job.<\/p>\n

The regulations for truck drivers: resting<\/h2>\n

The first rule that every truck driver must comply with is to respect driving hours<\/strong> and alternating with rest hours<\/strong>. Let’s try to simplify as much as possible what the law states on the subject:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Each truck driver will be allowed to drive up to a maximum of 9 h daily which can be extended to 10 only for 2 times each week.<\/li>\n
  2. Each week the truck driver may drive for a maximum of 56 h<\/li>\n
  3. Wherever you go you will be required to break for 45 min. every 4 1\/2 hours of driving approximately. Minutes that could also be divided and distributed over the 4 h for at least 15 minutes each<\/li>\n
  4. If the truck driver drives 10 hours daily, he will have to make at least 2 stops within the day unless there is a substitute driver in the cab.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Truck driving hours regulation: the driver in Italy<\/h2>\n

    Therefore, the driving time for a motorist per day should not exceed 9h, or 10h only twice a week.<\/p>\n

    In these 9 hours there will always have to be intervals to keep attention high.<\/p>\n

    However, the daily commitment may not exceed 13 to 15 hours, and the remaining 9 hours must strictly be for driver refreshment.<\/p>\n

    To simplify: in the day consisting of 24 h at least 11 hours will be devoted to rest.<\/p>\n

    The cadenced driving break<\/strong> will be 45 min. every 4 1\/2 hours and can also be divided into 15+30 min. as desired.<\/p>\n

    According to Art.8 (Com. 6-9) REG.(EC) No.561\/2006 states<\/strong>. o Art.4. of the Highway Code<\/strong> on rest: the work week must be a maximum of 60 hours counting rest and breaks. However, there is a parameter: the average weekly work for 17 weeks, cannot exceed 48 hours according to European Directive No.15\/2002 (EC)<\/p>\n

    In addition to truck driving hours, there is also a requirement to have a driver’s card<\/strong>, with analog disks tracking everything, a tachograph printout or a paper record of absences with manual entries, which can be checked when needed. Text that will be in the possession of the driver for 28 days.<\/p>\n
