Over the past several years, the Canadian provinces and territories have been working through the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) to modernize the commercial vehicle drivers’ hours of service rules by reflecting the advances in scientific research into human sleep patterns and fatigue management practices. The new rules were developed and supported by all Canadian jurisdictions and a broad spectrum of stakeholders. These rules reflect advances into research on fatigue and establish the maximum hours a driver can operate a commercial truck or bus on a highway.

The new hours of service rules will help commercial drivers get the necessary rest required to safely operate their vehicles.

This can be a valuable “Risk Management” tool in our liability driven society.

Evaluations can provide an independent assessment of an individual’s ability for new hires or in house job competitions.

Evaluations are also provided to companies seeking a skills assessment of an employee as part of a post accident investigation to verify whether the individuals’ ability is at an acceptable level or identify that further training may be required.
