FMCSA & MTO – Rules and Regulations on the Road

As a safety and compliance professional my primary role was to ensure that all drivers were well trained and followed the federal and provincial guidelines. Making sure that everyone has proper training and understands what's expected is the best way to avoid infractions.

This guide provides a detailed training module for Drivers on Hours of Service (HOS) regulations in Canada and the US. Plenty of examples and quizzes are included to reinforce the material. In addition, I've included a Vehicle Inspection Policy, a Hazmat Manual, and a complete guide to Canadian and US Customs Regulations. You can see the full list of documents and guides in the Table of Contents below.
