Are truck drivers in Texas limited in the number of hours they can drive?

For intrastate trucking in Texas, drivers must adhere to the “Hours of Service” (HOS) regulations, which limit the number of hours they can drive before taking a mandatory rest break.

As of the last update in September 2021, intrastate HOS regulations in Texas were aligned with the federal HOS rules. Under these rules, commercial drivers can drive a maximum of 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off-duty. However, it’s essential to check with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles or relevant authorities for any updates or changes to HOS regulations.
