COURSE OVERVIEW

This course outlines the regulations a driver must follow when operating under the Alberta provincial hours of service rules. These regulations are in place to help combat fatigue; they not only protect those involved in commercial transportation, but the public travelling on the road as well.

After completing this course, the participant should understand work-shift limits, exemptions to the limits, documentation requirements (form and manner), the 160 KM radius exemption and the responsibilities of the driver.

This course will help the participant understand not only the rules that govern them, but how to apply them.
