Exceptions temporarily allow for an extension of the maximum drive time or on duty time permitted by normal Hours of Service regulations. Typically, a driver will use an exception to reach a safer location in adverse weather or road conditions. It is your and your carrier’s responsibility to use exceptions appropriately.
The Adverse Conditions and Emergency exceptions apply to all drivers in Canada and the US. Contact your carrier if you are unsure whether a situation warrants taking an exception.
