About the course
What this course covers.
A driver crossing between Canada and the United States has to comply with two separate hours-of-service frameworks, and the daily and cycle limits are not identical between them. This course covers both side by side, so a cross-border driver understands which limits apply and how to reconcile logging between jurisdictions.
It covers duty status definitions, daily and cycle limits under each country's rules, and the practical realities of electronic logging across the border.
Carriers running cross-border routes use this course to make sure drivers are not defaulting to one country's rules when the other applies, which is a common source of hours-of-service violations at the border.
