Canada Hours of Service Training: Record of Duty Status Online Training Course - French Canadian

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.

You need proof that you're tracking your hours and complying with the limits. Recording hours is done electronically, manually, or by keeping a time record. Which one you will need to use depends on the type of operation, how often and how far you drive, and the equipment you use.

You also need to know where you're going and how you're going to get there. That's where a trip plan comes in. The hours-of-service record at the end of a productive day will match up almost perfectly with the plan. It's no "accident" because there's no rush and no surprises.

Canada Hours of Service Training: Record of Duty Status is designed to teach drivers when each type of record can be used and how each is evaluated during a roadside inspection. It also helps drivers with planning their trips to avoid violations.
