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 helps drivers and carriers be compliant while maximizing the available hours through a full understanding of how the limits affect safety and productivity.

The curriculum is divided into 7 modules:

1. Basics — Covers the fundamentals of hours-of-service regulations and what it means to be regulated. Drivers will learn what types of activities they are expected to keep track of and what is considered on-duty or off-duty. They will learn the importance of tracking rest cycles and the amount of work they've completed, which will help them determine if they are safe and legal to drive.
2. Record of Duty Status — Teaches 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.
3. Manual Logs — Helps drivers understand which fields are required to accurately prepare their record of duty status and how to complete a recap to avoid violations.
4. Limits South of 60th Parallel — Helps drivers operating south of 60°N comply with the hours-of-service limits by ensuring they understand how each of the limits or clocks work together. It will also help them to avoid operating a commercial motor vehicle when fatigued by knowing when to take a break and when to rest to restart their hours.
5. Limits North of 60th Parallel — Helps drivers operating north of 60°N comply with the hours-of-service limits by ensuring they understand how each of the limits or clocks work together. It will also help them to avoid operating a commercial motor vehicle when fatigued by knowing when to take a break and when to rest to restart their hours.
6. ELD Basics — Helps drivers compliantly use ELDs, and correctly use the special driving categories of personal use and yard move. This will help drivers understand their role in reducing unassigned driving events, when to edit the record, and the importance of reviewing the record before submission.
7. Exceptions — Helps drivers understand which HOS exceptions can be used and when to use them.
