  10. Duty status time • (1) There are four categories of duty status time for the purpose of this Regulation: • Off-duty time, other than time spent in a sleeper berth. • Off-duty time spent in a sleeper berth. • On-duty time spent driving. • On-duty time, other than time spent driving.

  11. The Four Basic Requirements • Daily Requirements • Mandatory Off-Duty Time “Work Shifts” Requirements • Cycle Requirements • Record Keeping Requirements

  12. NEW Daily Requirements

  13. NEW Designation of Driver’s Day 4.(1) The operator shall designate the hour at which the driver’s day starts if it does not start at midnight and shall notify the driver of the designation. (2) The designation shall apply for the duration of the driver’s cycle.

  14. NEW Daily Driving Time 5. (1) After a driver has accumulated 13 hours of driving time in a day, the driver shall not drive again on the same day. (2) After a driver has accumulated 14 hours of on-duty time in a day, the driver shall not drive again on the same day.

  15. DRIVING = < 13 Daily Driving Time

  16. NO DRIVING AFTER ON DUTY = < 14 Daily Driving Time

  17. NEW Daily Off-Duty Time 6. (1) A driver shall take at least 10 hours of off-duty time in a day. (2) Off-duty time under subsection (1) that is in addition to the mandatory eight consecutive hours of off-duty time required by Section 9 may be distributed throughout the day in blocks on no less than 30 minutes each. (3) The off-duty time referred to in subsection (2) shall be at least two hours and may be added to the mandatory eight consecutive hours of off-duty time but cannot form part of it.

  18. OFF DUTY = > 10 Off-Duty Periods must be at least 30 minutes long or they do not count toward the 10 hours. Daily Off-Duty Time

  19. Step 1: Daily off-duty time must total at least 10 hours [made up of periods of at least 30 minutes] (2+1+7=10) Step 2:Daily off-duty time must include 2 hours that do not form part of an 8 consecutive hour off-duty period required by section 9. (They can be added to the period) 1 =2 “other” hours 1 + 9 Consecutive Hours Off 8 hours off-duty 10 6+2 hours off-duty

  21. NEW Deferral of Off-duty Time 7. A driver may split the off-duty time required by section 6 over any two consecutive days by deferring a maximum of two hours of the daily off-duty time from the first day to the second day and increasing the total of the driving and on-duty times in the first day by not more than two hours if, (a) the deferred off-duty time does not form part of the mandatoryperiod of eight consecutive hours of off-duty time required by section 9;   (b) before the end of the second day, the driver takes a consecutive period of off-duty time consisting of the eight consecutive hours required by section 9 plus the off-duty time deferred from the first day

  22. Deferral of Off-duty Time Cont’d… (c) the total off-duty time taken in the two days is at least 20 hours;   (d) the total driving time in the two days does not exceed 26 hours; (e) the total on-duty time in the two days does not exceed 28 hours; (f) the driver is not splitting off-duty time under section 11 at any time during the two days; and (g) an entry is made in the “Remarks” section of the daily log or on the record required by subsection 18(3) clearly indicating the day from which the off-duty time has been deferred and the day to which it was deferred.

Sleeper berth specifications are found in Section 8.

  38. Splitting Off-Duty Time – Single Driver (2) A driver who is driving a commercial motor vehicle fitted with a sleeper berth may meet the mandatory off-duty time required of section 9 by accumulating off-duty time in no more than two periods where, (a) neither period of off-duty time is less than two hours; (b) the total of the two periods of off-duty time is at least 10 hours; (c) the off-duty time is spent resting in the sleeper berth; and
