About this course
Tired drivers crash. Alberta’s hours of service rules set how long a driver can drive and work before resting, and what goes on the daily log. This course covers the provincial rules for trucks and buses that stay inside Alberta, with a log grid you can practise on that checks your day as you build it.
Based on Alberta’s Drivers’ Hours of Service Regulation (AR 317/2002). It doesn’t replace your carrier’s own policies and training.

Online courses are one part of operator training. They don't replace site-specific training, a hands-on practical evaluation or your employer's authorization, and a certificate of completion isn't a licence or proof of competency. See our training disclaimer.
