My husband is taking a load into Canada for the first time tomorrow. He wanted to know if he stays under US hour of service rules, or will he be under Canadian rules? Are there any Canadian rules that he needs to be aware of when he enters?

Thanks U-turn. That thread answered his questions.

 

Canadian rules. Hours for driving are different than here in the States. Drive safe everyone.

 

You must indicate every day on your log, which cycle you are under, you must take either 36 or 72 hours off to switch cycles.

You must have last 14 days of logs with you in canada. You must also have start and ending milage for everyday in canada.

Reset is 36 or 72 hours off duty, 36 for 70/7 cycle, 72 for 120/14 cycle

No driving after 16 hours have elapsed from the drivers most recent 8 consecutive hours offduty. The driver cannot drive again unless they take 8 consecutive hours off duty.

No driving after 13 driving hours have been accumulated.

No driving after 14 hours combined driving and on duty time have been accumulated

So i think the only legal sleeper split is 8 and 2.

There is also a way to defer 2 of the off duty hours to the next day. So you would only need 8 hours offduty today, and then require 12 hours offduty tomorrow!

A driver must have at least 10 hours off per day, (except for the deferral of 2 hours option!)


A drive shall not drive, unless the driver has taken at least 24 hours of offduty in the preceding 14 days
