The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enforces a complex set of rules for commercial truck drivers. For example, a commercial truck driver may only operate a truck 12 hours a day, or a maximum of 60 hours in 7 consecutive days. A driver is required to rest or sleep at least 8 hours between driving shifts. Truck drivers usually find the nearest truck stop to fill up with diesel fuel, make truck repairs, eat, and rest. If the truck does not have a sleeper compartment, the truck driver needs to find the nearest hotel or motel close to the truck stop to sleep during a layover.
