COURSE OVERVIEW

This Canadian Hours of Service course covers the regulations that a driver must follow.

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.

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

After completing this course the participant should understand Day and Shift Limits, exemptions to the limits, documentation requirements (form and manner), and the responsibilities of the driver.
