This graphic overview of the existing and new Canadian Hours of Service Rules is a handy guide for motor carriers who do business in Canada. Canadian officials say motor carrier safety inspectors will allow for a period of “soft enforcement” when the new rules take effect Jan. 1, 2007. The soft enforcement period, during which truckers will be educated about the changes in the rule, is scheduled to end July 1, 2007. Egregious violations, such as violating the new rules and old rules, won’t be tolerated and could result in a truck being placed out of service. The graphs were provided by the Ontario Trucking Association to the Safety & Loss Prevention Management Council.

The Canadian rules are more lax than the US rules. We can only drive 11 hrs in a 14 duty day and they can drive 13. I like their 24 break and 14 day rule also.
