What it counts
| Clock | Rule |
|---|---|
| Driving left | 13 hours of driving after 8 consecutive hours off, and 13 hours in the day (ss. 12, 13) |
| On duty left | 14 hours on duty after 8 consecutive hours off, and 14 in the day |
| Elapsed left | No driving once 16 hours have passed since the last 8 consecutive hours off (s. 13(3)) |
| Cycle left | Cycle 1: 70 hours in 7 days. Cycle 2: 120 hours in 14 days and 70 hours without 24 consecutive hours off (ss. 26, 27). 36 or 72 hours off resets it (s. 28) |
It also warns when you have not had 24 consecutive hours off in the last 14 days (s. 25) and shows how much off-duty time you have had today against the 10 hours a day (s. 14). The day is counted from midnight; your carrier may designate a different start hour. Sleeper berth time counts as off duty.
What it does not do
- Split sleeper periods (ss. 18, 19) and deferring 2 hours of off-duty time to the next day (s. 16).
- Rules north of 60°N, ferry crossings, permits and provincial rules.
- It is not a record of duty status; your ELD is the legal record.

Questions
Does sleeper berth time count as off duty in Canada?
Yes, sleeper berth time is off-duty time. Split sleeper arrangements have extra conditions that this calculator does not model.
