National Safety Code (NSC) Compliance
The NSC sets standards ensuring the safe operation of commercial vehicles across Canada. Truckers must adhere to these standards by maintaining detailed logs of driving hours, ensuring regular vehicle inspections, and properly securing cargo.

What is NSC?
The National Safety Code (NSC) is a program in Canada that establishes standards for the safe operation of commercial vehicles in the country. The NSC is administered by the provinces and territories in Canada, and is designed to ensure that commercial vehicles and drivers operating in Canada meet a minimum level of safety. The NSC sets out standards for the maintenance and operation of commercial vehicles, as well as for driver training, licensing, and hours of service. The NSC applies to all commercial vehicles operating in Canada, including trucks, buses, and other vehicles used for the transportation of goods or passengers. Compliance with the NSC is required in order to operate a commercial vehicle in Canada.
