You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course
What this course covers.
Most hours of service training is written for the driver. This course is written for the whole operation. Alongside the driver's duties, it gives modules to the parts of the regulation a carrier is responsible for: how the driver's home terminal is set, how the carrier monitors its own drivers' compliance, and what enforcement and penalties look like when it does not. That makes it a good fit for owners, dispatchers and safety staff as well as drivers.
The 12 modules start with an overview of the regulation and who is responsible for what, then cover exemptions, duty status, general log requirements and logbook exemptions. The middle modules deal with the driver's home terminal, which matters because it anchors the radius exemption, and with the provincial driving limitations themselves. Sleeper berth provisions and co-driver status cover the arrangements used on longer provincial runs.
Internal monitoring, enforcement and penalties explain what a carrier must do to keep its drivers compliant and what is at stake if it does not. The course closes with fatigue management, the reason the rules exist. The supplier is careful to say the course is an overview that never supersedes the legislation, and carriers should keep that in mind: the regulation is the authority, and the course is how drivers and staff learn it.

Why it matters for compliance
Alberta's Drivers' Hours of Service Regulation (AR 317/2002) governs provincially regulated carriers. A driver may not drive after 13 hours of driving or 14 hours of on-duty time following the most recent period of at least 8 consecutive hours off duty. A driver using the 160 kilometre radius exemption must stay within 160 kilometres of the home terminal and be back and released within 15 hours of starting the work-shift. The regulation is the authority; this course explains it.
Training outside Alberta?
This course covers Alberta's provincial rules. Carriers that cross provincial or international borders follow the federal hours of service regulations and should train drivers on those instead.
Common questions
Questions buyers ask
What is a driver's home terminal and why does it matter?
- It is the location a driver normally reports to and is released from. It matters because the 160 kilometre radius exemption is measured from it, and because it anchors how a driver's work-shift is tracked. The course has a module on it.
What is internal monitoring?
- The carrier's own process for checking that its drivers follow the hours of service rules, such as reviewing logs and records. The course covers what it involves and why carriers need it.
How much does the course cost?
- The course is 69.99 CAD per seat. Ask our safety experts for 10 percent off your first course, or a free On-Track Safety corporate account for 20 percent off every course for the first three months.
How is this different from the other Alberta hours of service courses?
- It covers the same Alberta regulation in 12 modules and adds carrier-side topics: home terminal, internal monitoring, enforcement and penalties, sleeper berths and fatigue management. The other Alberta courses focus more tightly on the driver's limits, logs and the radius exemption.
How long is the certificate valid?
- 36 months from the completion date.
Does the course replace the regulation?
- No. The supplier is clear that the course is an overview and never supersedes the legislation. Carriers should keep a current copy of the regulation and check it when a question comes up.
