Question about Canadian HOS

Running Canada you have to show 24 hours off duty in the previous 14 days. You can't run non-stop.

 

Hi all, I didn't read the entire thread but does everyone have the new schedule one from Jan 2106, former co-driver got nailed at Putman Scale for not having the latest version,

 

New schedule 1? @not4hire

 

Far as I know this is the latest.

On January 1, 2015, Ontario updated their regulation (https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/070199) to be consistent with the Schedule 1 published as NSC Standard 13 (note the portions underlined as "Updated September 2008").

 

Here's the break-down of Canadian HoS:
There are two duty cycles. 70/7 for cycle 1 and 120/14 for cycle 2
Cycle 1 breaks down like this; You can work for 70 hours in a 7 day period.
The total number of hours you can work is 14.
Of those 14, only 13 can be driving.
From the time your shift clock starts (start of day), you have a 16 hour window to work those 14 hours.
In other words, you can take as many hours off duty as you want but unless it's 10 consecutive hours or 8 consecutive hours with 2 hours taken off at some point during your workshift, your workshift day does not reset or extend your work day over the 16 hours.
In other words, if you've taken two hours off-duty during your work day, you turn into a pumpkin 16 hours after your work day starts and can't move until you've had 8 consecutive hours off. If you've gone straight through with only micro-breaks (less than half an hour), you can only do 14 hours and then take 10 consecutive hours off.
Once you've done 70 hours in a 7 day period, you must take a 36 hour reset.

For more detailed and official info, check the website below out. It's the Government of Canada's website pertaining to transportation and professional drivers:
Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations (SOR/2005-313)

Edit:
If you are crossing the border into the U.S. during the same work shift, U.S. rules will automatically apply as of the time you cross the border.

 

Completely wrong! And eight and-a-half years late at that.

You're responsible for safety and compliance?!

Question 4: A Canadian driver is subjected to a log book inspection in the U.S. The driver has logged one or more 13-hour driving periods while in Canada during the previous 7 days, but has complied with all the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) while operating in the U.S. Has the driver violated the 10-hour driving requirement in the U.S.?

Guidance:

No. Canadian drivers are required to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) only when operating in the U.S.

Question 5: May a driver domiciled in the United States comply with the Canadian hours of service regulations while driving in Canada? If so, would the driving and on-duty time accumulated in Canada be counted toward compliance with one or more of the limits imposed by Part 395 when the driver re-enters the United States?

Guidance:

A driver domiciled in the United States may comply with the Canadian hours of service regulations while driving in Canada. Upon re-entering the United States, however, the driver is subject to all of the requirements of Part 395, including the 10- and 15-hour rules, and the 60-or 70-hour rules applicable to the previous 7 or 8 consecutive days.

In other words, a driver who takes full advantage of Canadian law may have to stop driving for a time immediately after returning to the U.S. in order to restore compliance with Part 395. Despite its possible effect on decisions a U.S. driver must make while in Canada, this interpretation does not involve an exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction.
