Strengthen your Driver’s Hours of Service (HOS) Compliance

---

Compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) is key to the correct management of drivers in your fleet, considering that trucks were involved in 24% of accidents on federal highways in 2020, according to the registry of the Mexican Institute of Transport (IMT).

The Official Mexican Standard NOM-087 indicates that the drivers of the Federal Autotransport service must take a 30-minute break for every 5 and a half hours continuous driving, as well as keep a registration log to show it at checkpoints.

The maximum driving time for Freight Transportation is 14 hours, which must be followed by a continuous 8-hour break.

Violations of the Service Registration Status represent more than 70% of the total HOS compliance violations, a fine of $1,000 to $10,000 USD that can impact the profitability of the operation and the reputation of the business.
