About Fatigue Management
Driver fatigue, defined as driving while feeling sleepy, physically or mentally tired, or lacking energy, is a major heavy vehicle safety hazard. Not getting enough sleep, driving at night, and being awake for a long time are the main causes of fatigue. Understand the rules and requirements of fatigue management.
Fatigue Management Exemptions
Fatigue management exemptions (permits and notices) enable operators and drivers to apply for work and rest hours, work diary, and record keeping exemptions.
Fatigue Management Exemptions - NHVR
Work and Rest Requirements
In addition to the general duty to not drive a fatigue-regulated heavy vehicle on a road while fatigued, drivers must comply with certain maximum work and minimum rest limits.

Counting Time
Drivers and other responsible parties in the supply chain are required by law to count work and rest times in a specific way. Understand the rules for counting work and rest times for fatigue-regulated heavy vehicle drivers.
