Hours of service, pre-trip defects, cargo securement, dangerous goods, a run over the border. Drivers get a straight answer from your handbook — with the source, the governing authority, and a push to the Safety Officer whenever it actually matters.

Answered from Maple Corridor's own documents, with the source under every reply. Pick a question — this is the shape of what a driver gets at 2 a.m.
Answers come only from Maple Corridor's nine documents. Anything carrying a fine is confirmed with the Safety Officer.
Fictional Maple Corridor documents, written for this demo. For a real carrier we load your handbook in their place.
Hover a document to open it.
Where every rule came from, which authority governs it, and what is deliberately not covered.
13, 14 and 10, the 16-hour clock, cycles, resets, deferral, and what to do when the ELD fails.
The daily inspection, Schedule 1, the 24 hours it is valid for, and major versus minor defects.
Working load limits, how many tiedowns a load needs, and the 80 km and 240 km re-checks.
TDG training certificates, where the shipping document has to sit, and the order of an incident.
Duties at the scene, the $5,000 reporting threshold, roadside inspections and what hits the CVOR.
Fatigue, impairment, winter driving, border crossings, pay and how the yard expects things done.
How loads are assigned, detention and wait time, appointments, home time and what to do in a delay.
What changes at the border: 11 hours, a 14-hour clock that does not stop, and the 30-minute break.
In a regulated industry a confidently wrong answer is worse than no answer. Every rule here was verified against the published regulation — not a blog, not a training vendor, not the model's memory.

Scroll the table sideways to see the version each rule was checked against.
Where a current, authoritative answer could not be confirmed, it is deliberately left out of the documents — and the assistant says so and sends the driver to the Safety Officer instead of guessing.
It is a confident wrong one that puts a driver out of service. Everything here is built against that.
The assistant is given your handbook and your compliance summaries, and nothing else. It cannot reach the open internet, so it cannot repeat something it read on a forum.
Every reply carries the document it came from. Where a rule is statutory, the regulation is named, so a driver or a safety officer can go and read it.
Ask it how to stretch a log or skip a re-check and it declines and says why. Anything carrying a fine goes to the Safety Officer rather than the chat.
The assistant does not know anything about trucking in particular — it knows how to answer from a document pack and show its source. Swap the pack and it becomes a cleaner's, a warehouse's or a shop floor's.
