Most Alberta trucking companies require documentation for missed loads or shifts. Fleet managers accept notes from any licensed physician. Safety regulations prohibit driving while impaired by illness.

Shift Work Considerations

Truck drivers operate on irregular schedules across multiple time zones. Traditional clinic hours are meaningless when you are on the road. Online sick notes work from any location with cell service.

Average clinic wait time: Finding a clinic in an unfamiliar city: 1-3 hours just to locate one. MedLetter: submit from your cab, receive to your phone.. Skip the wait with MedLetter — get your sick note delivered same day from home.
