Take a 30-minute break in their first 8 hours of driving. Rest for 34 consecutive hours after completing a 70-hour week, including at least two nights between the hours of 1 and 5 a.m. According to FMCSA, the new sleep rules will reduce chronic fatigue and related crashes, saving 19 lives per year.
