It really gets fun when you travel from Canada to the US. You have to stay legal in both countries, and HOS are a little different. You have to follow the stricter rule. IE/ 34 hour reset in the US 36 hour reset in Canada. 11 hours driving in the US, and 13 hours in Canada. To remain legal in both, follow the US 11 hour drive rule, but the 36 hour Canadian reset rule.

If you know you might got o Canada at any point always
take 36 hour breaks instead.
Stay under the 11 & 14 hour rule at all times and you will always be in compliance with the Canada regs.
Always have these things on your logs
beginning & ending odometer reading
Truck & trailer licence plate #.
a 24 hour period off/sleeper within previous 14 days.
Make sure you write your on cycle 1 on logs while in Canada
I can't think of anything else but know I forgot something??
Main thing is stay under USA regulations on the 11 & 14 hour rule # all times. That's the easiest way to handle it -
You know me but Im not tellin. -
Great website, good job Logs! Keep us cavemen straight..........lol.
Question: During 34 hr restart, do you have to document what you are doing ie: sleeping not sleeping or go back to off duty? -
-
as a Canadain I can tell you, you can not move a truck at all anymore without loging we now have personal use up to 75kms per day and the kms have to be shown and must be bobtail there are lines on new Can. books #### the man!!

Question 26: May a driver record sleeper berth time as off-duty time on line one of the record of duty status?
Guidance: No. The driver's record of duty status must accurately reflect the driver's activities.
If you are relieved of all work/responsibilty from the vehicle and you are away from the truck you should log off duty.
If your body is in the sleeper you must log sleeper on the log.
If you log sleeper and they prove you was "away" from the truck you will get written up for a false log.psanderson Thanks this. -

Being away from the truck to go into the truck stop to use the restroom and not note it is a violation?
Do you REALLY believe a company will consider you relieved of all responsibility when you are away from the truck?
Let the truck get hit and no one saw it. Driver you were responsible, but I was in the shower.
Yeah Right.
