Federal – Permanent hours of service extension request submitted to regulators

The CPA has submitted a request for a permanent provision of hours of service extensions to the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators for review and approval. A permanent HOS exemption would speed up the application process by eliminating the need for individual extensions to be submitted each time one is required, which becomes ineffective during emergency situations. Once feedback from the CCMTA is received, the CPA will work to secure approvals from the provinces and territories, as well as from Transport Canada.
