NOTE: Canada's electronic logging device mandate will go into effect on June 12, 2021, for federally regulated carriers and drivers as planned. However, on that date, enforcement will be educational. The Canadian jurisdictions have all agreed to a one-year enforcement period to June 2022.
Time is limited. No one can add a minute to an hour, day, or week. For professional drivers, time is further limited by the hours-of-service regulations. The purpose of the hours-of-service regulations is to keep tired drivers off the road. After many hours behind the wheel, fatigue sets in, and it can lead to bad decisions and deadly crashes. For the safety of all drivers, compliance with the hours-of-service regulations is required of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.
The Canada Hours of Service Training curriculum will help drivers and carriers to be compliant while maximizing the available hours through a full understanding of how the limits affect safety and productivity.
Every driver needs to know how to complete manual logs. Most often a manual log will be a paper grid log. Drivers who find themselves in a situation where they do not qualify for the 160-kilometer radius exception and ELD users who experience a malfunction of their device need to know how to manually record their duty status.
