HazMat in Canada

If you do end up going, remember the following for Canada:

1. 14 days logs required.
2. Use Cycle 1; 70 hours / 7 days.
3. 24 hours consecutive off-duty in the last 14 days.
4. 36 hours is a reset.
5. You can drive a maximum of 13 hours a day with 14 hours total on-duty in a 16 hour period (work shift). That is assuming you don't go north of the 60th Parallel, if so, you can drive longer, but let's keep it simple for now.
6. 8 hours consecutive off-duty plus an additional 2 hours (that can be taken in periods of 30 minutes) per day.
7. Include your start and end mileage on your logs.
8. One trip inspection per 24 hours (Standard 13 Schedule 1); include location, time and odometer reading.

I think that's all the high points.

 

Watch the cell phone use. If it's anything like when we travel down there, you're gonna get hosed... unless you have a travel plan.

 

Quebec eh? I hope you know French....

 

Minor point of order; you don't need a passport (or passport card, etc.) to enter Canada, but you do to enter/return to the U.S.

Yes, it still pisses me off.

 

Similar hands-free rules, i.e., "distracted driving".

 

Trucks operating in ON and QC must be speed limited to 105 km/h (~65 mph), regardless of where they are from.
