Which of the following is not one of the four conditions for Alberta's Hours of Service daily log waiver?

• A. There are fewer than 8 hours of on-duty driving time during a shift
• B. The work shift does not exceed 15 hours
• C. The driver starts and ends the work shift at the same place
• D. The driver stays within a 160km radius of the home terminal

Answer: (A)

The hours-of-service daily log waiver in Alberta is meant for short-haul operations, so the rules focus on staying close to home and keeping a relatively short work window. The three criteria you’d typically see are that the driver operates within 160 km of the home terminal, the work shift does not exceed 15 hours, and the driver starts and ends the shift at the same location. The requirement about having fewer than 8 hours of on-duty driving time isn’t part of those conditions—the on-duty driving time within a 15-hour shift can exceed 8 hours, as long as the overall shift length and the other geographic criteria are satisfied. That’s why the option stating fewer than 8 hours is not a waiver condition.
