Truck Rental FAQ: Parking Fees and Driver Regulations

Are you considering truck rental for your moving or hauling needs? We understand the complexities involved in transporting items securely and efficiently. This article provides a comprehensive guide, addressing common questions, like whether a truck driver can move their truck when they are out of 'drive time,' and more. If you're in the market for rental trucks, read on to find all the information you need.

Parking Fees for Trucks

When renting a truck, one of the cost considerations is parking fees. This issue became particularly relevant after last night, when we noticed a cluster of 20 trucks parked on private property marked as restricted. To manage such situations and ensure fair practices, we have set a standard parking fee for each rental truck.

Imagine a scenario where each of those trucks parked on our property had to pay a parking fee. For just 50 per truck, you'd have an impressive $1,000 to invest in employee appreciation or improve your business in another way. It's a small investment that can yield great returns.

Driver Regulations and Truck Management

It's important to understand the driver regulations, especially when considering the hours of service (HOS). In the United States, a truck driver is subject to the hours of service rules set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). According to these rules, a driver can log up to 10 hours of driving time within a 14-hour period. This includes loading and unloading activities, which must also not exceed the 14-hour window.

Can a Truck Driver Move Their Truck When Out of Drive Time?

When a truck driver is out of their 10-hour drive window, they are not allowed to operate the truck on the road. However, they can move the truck to a new location within the 14-hour window. This includes tasks such as parking the truck, accessing supplies, or preparing the load for transportation. These activities are considered 'deadhead' time and are permitted within the specified hours.

Understanding the Rules

To reiterate, the key points to remember are:

A driver can log up to 10 hours of driving time within a 14-hour window. Loading and unloading activities must also be within this 14-hour window. Drivers are allowed to move their truck within the 14-hour window but cannot operate on the road after their 10-hour drive time has expired.
