Question: Which of the following is true regarding 'team driving' under federal hours of service regulations?

Answer options:

  • Each team driver must complete their own duty cycle without regard for the other driver's duty ✅ One driver is on-duty driving while the other is off-duty in the sleeper berth for the purpose of extending driving time
  • Team drivers are allowed to drive for a combined total of 26 hours in a 24-hour period
  • Team driving is only permitted for short-haul operations within 160 km

Correct answer: One driver is on-duty driving while the other is off-duty in the sleeper berth for the purpose of extending driving time

Explanation: Team driving allows one driver to be on-duty driving while the other is in the sleeper berth, and their off-duty time in the sleeper berth for certain periods can be counted towards required off-duty, effectively extending the operational window of the vehicle. This is a specific provision of federal HOS regulations (SOR/2005-313, s.19, s.20)
