36 hour reset

Ummm.. nope. I would think something like that would come out in a blast from the MTA. They may have changed the rules for fuel haulers temporarily due to the pipeline shutdown?

 

Only thing I'm aware of is you need 24 hours off every so many days because you can't run recaps indefinitely. Still need 36 off for a reset IIRC.

 

No. You can run 14 days without a reset and only a 24 hour off-duty, but you wont get full hours back. From the MTO website....

Hours of service requirements
1. Daily requirement*

A driver must have 10 hours off-duty in a day.
A driver cannot drive more than 13 hours in a day.
A driver cannot drive after 14 hours on-duty in a day.

There are two cycles available, a seven-day cycle or a 14-day cycle.

In a period of 14 consecutive days, a driver cannot drive after having been on-duty for 120 hours. Drivers following this cycle shall not drive after accumulating 70 hours on-duty without having taken 24 consecutive hours of off-duty time.
On any day, all drivers must have a period of at least 24 consecutive hours off-duty in the preceding 14 days.
4. Cycle reset/switching

A driver may only switch the cycle they are on if they start a new cycle.
To start a new cycle, a driver on the seven-day cycle must take 36 consecutive hours off-duty.
To start a new cycle, a driver on the 14-day cycle must take 72 consecutive hours off-duty.

 

Haven’t heard anything either. Think he must be confusing the reset and recap rules as AModel mentioned.

 

Not aware of any hours of service exemptions for fuel haulers due to the pipeline issue.
I’ve been hauling fuel out to Brandon, Manitoba because of it and haven’t heard any talk of exemptions. They’re now bringing some fuel in by rail from Edmonton. As well as trucking it from there and Regina. Gretna, Manitoba loading terminal is still receiving pipeline fuel.
