How you're "classified" is irrelevant. If you're operating a commercial vehicle, you are required to comply with Hours of Service regulations. DOT could care less if you're an employee, an independent contractor, the dispatcher's daughter's boyfriend or a guy off the street when they write you a ticket.
Do you log a road test during orientation?

However the soon to be driver must account for all hours worked for the previous 7/14 (Canada) days, thus we make them log it on line 4.
Could you see a driver sitting in class 8 hours then completing class and boom he/she is dispatched because he/she didn't have to log it, meaning they would be awake 22 hrs with no rest, legally. Not going to happening.
Logging line 4 is sufficient though, logging line 3 shouldn't hurt you either way.
