LiveViewGPS HOS: What is an Exception?
An exception is an exceptional circumstance in which a driver is permitted per FMCSA HOS
regulations to extend the maximum driving time.
LiveViewGPS HOS supports the following exceptions for USA Region:
Waiting Time at Well Site – In the case of specially trained drivers of commercial motor vehicles that are
specially constructed to service oil wells, on-duty time shall not include waiting time at a natural gas or oil well site.
Such waiting time shall be recorded as “off duty” time.

released from duty at the end of each work day, drivers may extend the 14 consecutive hour duty window to 16
consecutive hours, once every 7 consecutive days.
Note: The driver must attest that all conditions for claiming this exception have been met. May not be combined with
the Adverse Conditions exception.
Adverse Driving Conditions – means snow, sleet, fog or other adverse weather conditions, a highway covered
with snow or ice, or unusual road and traffic conditions, none of which were apparent on the basis of information
known to the person dispatching the run at the time it was begun.
Emergency Conditions – In case of any emergency, a driver may complete his/her run without being in violation
of the provisions of the regulations if such a run, reasonably could have been completed absent the emergency.

LiveViewGPS HOS: What is an Exception?
LiveViewGPS HOS supports the following exceptions for Canada Region:
2 Hour Driving Extension Special Permit – (Section 62)
Oil Well Service Permit - In the case the drivers for Oil well service vehicles need to work longer periods than
the cycle limit allows, if granted, the motor carrier and their designated drivers are authorize to operate under special
terms and conditions for a maximum of 1 year. (Section 63)
Emergency Conditions – In case of any emergency, a driver may complete his/her run without being in violation
of the provisions of the regulations if such a run, reasonably could have been completed absent the emergency.

duty time in the cycle by up to 2 hours and decrease daily off-duty time by up to 2 hours. The driver must stop driving
after 16 hours of elapsed time in work shift. (Section 76(2,3))
No logs for drivers operating within 160km of home terminal – In case a Driver operates a
commercial vehicle within a radius of 160km of the home terminal then the driver does not need to fill out a daily log.
The Home Terminal is the motor carrier’s place of business where the driver normally reports for work. Radius means
