The duty status lines in both the American & Canadian log books are the same. Watch the video!

There are 4 duty status lines on the log sheet:

1) off duty
2) sleeper birth
3) driving
4) on duty, not driving

A CDL driver must account for all activities in a 24-hour period. And the sleeper birth duty status line can only be used if the vehicle that you are operating is equipped with a sleeper birth unit.

Lines #3 (driving) & #4 (on duty, not driving) are used to calculate a driver's total hours worked in a work cycle. Both Canada & the United States have two work cycles.
