Claim the Adverse Driving Exemption

If you experience unexpected conditions such as severe weather, road closures, or other emergencies, you may be eligible to claim an Adverse Driving Exemption in the Samsara Driver App. This exemption extends your Drive and Total Shift time limits by two hours. Adverse Driving Exemptions are available only in the United States and Canada, and eligibility depends on your region’s regulations.

You can claim this exemption for your current shift directly in the Samsara Driver App. Depending on your region and organization settings, you can claim either Adverse Driving (USA) or Adverse Driving (Canada).

After you claim this exemption, your Drive and Total Shift Hours of Service (HoS) dials automatically increase by two hours. Your Daily Log will also include an Adverse Driving remark for that shift.
