National Commercial Drivers Guide

Most commercial drivers who get hurt were never in a crash. A fall from the deck, a load that shifted, a knee that went on the third delivery of the day, years of vibration through the seat. This guide opens with four ways in, so you can start at the one that matches what actually happened to you.

158 pages, and 512 fields you can fill in on your phone. Part Four takes the workers' compensation claim end to end, from the first 24 hours through earnings calculations, medical exams, deeming, permanent impairment and what happens if you can never drive again. Part Five covers auto insurance, income protection and the three month clock that decides which system pays you. Both systems sit in one book, because a driver hurt at work in a truck can fall between them.

Written for all thirteen provinces and territories. Reference tables show your claim deadline, your earnings ceiling, what your accident benefits actually pay and whether your jurisdiction gives you a free advocate. Every figure is traced to a primary source and dated, so you can see how current it is and check it yourself.

Fifteen worksheets carry the record: the on-scene report, your claim tracker, medical appointments, hours-of-service and ELD evidence, pain and sleep logs and a graduated return-to-work plan. Fill it in on your device or print it. Every page is yours.

Your commercial medical, your driver's abstract and your carrier file are covered too, because for a driver the licence is the livelihood. There is a part on the mind as well, on the sleep that does not come back, on what to say to your dispatcher and on talking to the people at home.

You do not have to carry it alone.

Your Recovery. Documented. Protected.
