The Canada Hours of Service Training curriculum will help drivers and carriers to be compliant while maximizing the available hours through a full understanding of how the limits affect safety and productivity.
You need proof that you're tracking your hours and complying with the limits. Recording hours is done electronically, manually, or by keeping a time record. Which one you will need to use depends on the type of operation, how often and how far you drive, and the equipment you use.
You also need to know where you're going and how you're going to get there. That's where a trip plan comes in. The hours-of-service record at the end of a productive day will match up almost perfectly with the plan. It's no "accident" because there's no rush and no surprises.
Canada Hours of Service Training: Record of Duty Status is designed to teach drivers when each type of record can be used and how each is evaluated during a roadside inspection. It also helps drivers with planning their trips to avoid violations.

Is there a time limit for online courses?
Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
