    Canada Hours of Service Training Module 5: Exceptions

    Time is an unalterable commodity. Not a single moment can be added to an hour, day or week. For professional drivers, time is even more constrained by the hours-of-service regulations. The aim of these regulations is to ensure fatigued drivers are not on the roads. After extended periods of driving, exhaustion can set in, leading to poor decision-making and potentially fatal accidents. For the wellbeing of all road users, adherence to the hours-of-service regulations is mandatory for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. The Canada Hours of Service Training program aims to enhance compliance among drivers and carriers while optimising available hours, through comprehensive understanding of how these limits impact safety and efficiency.

    COURSE OVERVIEW

    Time is an unalterable commodity. Not a single moment can be added to an hour, day or week. For professional drivers, time is even more constrained by the hours-of-service regulations. The aim of these regulations is to ensure fatigued drivers are not on the roads. After extended periods of driving, exhaustion can set in, leading to poor decision-making and potentially fatal accidents. For the wellbeing of all road users, adherence to the hours-of-service regulations is mandatory for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

    The Canada Hours of Service Training program aims to enhance compliance among drivers and carriers while optimising available hours, through comprehensive understanding of how these limits impact safety and efficiency.

    Almost every rule has an exception, and the hours-of-service limits are no different.

    Recognizing and correctly applying these exceptions is crucial. If a driver is unable to justify an exception, it may appear as a rule violation, leading to penalties. Proper use and accurate documentation of exceptions can minimize these violations.

    This training module covers eight frequently used hours-of-service exceptions:

    1. 160-kilometer radius
    2. Split-sleeper berth
    3. Emergency conditions
    4. Adverse driving conditions
    5. Electronic logging devices (ELDs)
    6. Ferry operations
    7. Daily off-duty deferral
    8. Personal use of a CMV

    Carriers may decide to allow or restrict the use of exceptions based on their internal policies and practices.

    Canada Hours of Service Training: Exceptions is crafted to assist drivers in understanding which exceptions can be employed and the appropriate times to use them.

    Target Audience: CMV Drivers Operating in Canada

    Regulatory Reference: SOR/2005-313
