Choosing a course
Which hours of service course do you need?
Hours of service is the course most often bought for the wrong jurisdiction. Which one you need is decided by whether your operation crosses a provincial boundary, not by where your yard is: a carrier that stays inside Alberta is under Alberta Regulation 317/2002, and one that crosses a boundary is federally regulated. The catalogue carries both, plus an all-Canada version and a shorter AMTA-branded Alberta course.
How this is ordered. By what On-Track customers actually bought over the last twelve months, not by our opinion of them. The first one listed is the one most people take.

What actually separates them
- Provincial Alberta versions are for carriers and drivers who stay inside Alberta.
- The federal course covers interprovincial operations; there is a longer version that also covers United States regulations.
- Prices run from $44.99 to $109.99 and lengths from under an hour to three, so the cheapest is not always the shortest.
- If you are unsure which jurisdiction you fall under, phone us before buying. It is a five-minute conversation and it is the difference between a certificate that counts and one that does not.
