The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), within the federal Department of Transportation, is responsible for regulating commercial motor carrier safety. In 2018, the FMCSA determined that federal law preempts California’s meal and rest break rules for interstate motor carrier drivers who are subject to the FMCSA’s rest break regulations.

California’s meal and rest break laws generally require commercial truck drivers to take more rest breaks, at greater frequency, and with less flexibility, than the federal regulations.
