Hey guys, I just have a quick question or two about hours of service and consecutive days in a row. As far as I know, 14 hours of work is the legal amount of hours allowed per shift, right?? Does this change just by being in Saskatchewan, only running here? And also, how many days in a row can someone work in the example below...
There's a job hauling sand locally, where you run about 320 km to a mine, load up with sand, come back to where you started from, then off to another city 140 kms away to unload, and return. 920-940 km's per shift. On a good day it's about 13.25 hours and on a bad day can easily go over 14 hours. How much doesn't matter, but there can be a lot of hours in 14 hours.
So you go home and another driver takes over and does basically the same thing, the truck basically running on 14-16 hour rotating shifts. How many days can this go on before it's cause for concern?? How many days should one driver be running before he legally shouldn't. Any thoughts appreciated.
