I'm not sure how many Driveaway/Towaway drivers there are on here, but I think there's some information that could be helpful to all new drivers in this.
I created this when I started at the company I currently work for. Our Hours Of Service BASIC was in the 97th percentile (yikes!) and only going up. After implementing this PowerPoint, as well as a complete overhaul of policies and procedures, we've dropped to the 66th percentile in less than a year. Hard work and dedication from about 200 drivers made this possible.
Anyways, I hope this can help answer some questions or clarify some uncertainties that you may have. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help to answer them. With facts. Not CB talk or "my buddy's cousin's sister-in-law said..."
Had to convert the file to a PDF, so some of the pictures and animations don't show up. I don't think it compromised any of the info, though.

Some corrections / clarification:
U.S. and Canada
- a description of on-duty activity is not required in remarks when logging duty status changes (not required by regulations, company policy may differ).
Canada only (south of 60th parallel)
- Canadian logs must indicate if the driver is on Cycle 1 (70/7) or Cycle 2 (120/14) (at carrier's discretion--virtually no one uses Cycle 2).
- a reset for Cycle 2 is 72 hours.
- if a driver is on Cycle 1, they must have a period of 24 consecutive hours off within the preceding 14 days. If a driver is on Cycle 2 the driver cannot exceed 70 hours of on-duty time without 24 hours consecutive off-duty.
- logs must show personal use mileage (if used--to a maximum of 75 km per day), as well as indicating if Day 1 or Day 2 for deferred off-duty (if used).
- any time working for a non motor carrier does not need to be logged.
- a Daily Inspection report is required to be filled out every 24 hours while underway and must include location, time and odometer reading.
- a driver has a maximum work-shift of 16 hours per day within which they can be on-duty to a maximum of 14 hours, of which a maximum of 13 hours can be driving; therefore, a driver may have up to two hours of off-duty time to account for the remaining two hours of a 16-hour work shift (the 14 hours of on-duty time and 13 hours driving is a per day maximum unlike in the U.S. where it is possible to exceed 11 hours driving in a day).
- a driver must have 10 hours per day of off-duty time; eight of which must be consecutive and the remaining two hours may be allocated throughout the day in blocks of no less than 30 minutes each.
- all entries must be in the Queen's English; colour not color, cheque not check, neighbour not neighbor, etc.
Okay, I may have made up that last rule.
Also be aware that although the U.S. and Canadian securement rules are harmonized, all tiedowns used in Canada must be marked with their WLL.
