Canadian ELD mandate

Canada ELD certification ‘very rigorous,’ company says after completing vetting

The screen of a Cab-Mate One ELD mounted inside a truck with its screen turned on. The device was recently certified in Canada.

Slowly but surely, electronic logging devices (ELDs) are starting to emerge from Canada’s third-party certification process. 

On Aug. 30, Pedigree Technologies’ Cab-Mate One became the fourth ELD certified to run in Canada. It joins devices from Hutch Systems, Diesel Tech Industries and Assured Tracking.

“The Canada ELD certification process was very rigorous and detailed,” Joshua DeCock, Pedigree’s vice president of product management, explained in an email to FreightWaves.

Canada’s ELD mandate now in effect — kind of

A view from inside the cab of a truck where a driver is using an ELD or electronic logging device, which whose use is required in Canada as of June 12.

Canada’s mandate for commercial vehicles to use electronic logging devices (ELDs) took effect on Saturday. But it’s missing two key pieces: meaningful enforcement and a list of approved ELDs certified for use in the country.

The result is a peculiar set of circumstances. Any commercial trucks regulated by the federal government, including those from the U.S., technically aren’t abiding by the mandate, but they can’t. But it’s a moot point since penalties for noncompliance won’t begin until June...

Canada vs. US: ELD mandate differences that could put your fleet in violation

Canadian ELD mandate fast approaching

Within weeks – June 12 to be exact – commercial motor carriers operating in Canada will have to comply with that country’s electronic logging device (ELD) mandate. Similar to the regulation that went into effect in the U.S. in 2017, Canada’s ELD rule will require electronic data collection of truck drivers’ hours of service.

While many of the Canadian ELD requirements remain the same as the U.S., there are a number of key differences that could result in U.S. trucking companies that cross the...

Putting port congestion in perspective — Midday Market Update

MMU 11/24

Headlines

The California port crisis is shattering records when compared to the 2015 congestion caused by contract negotiations with unionized dockworkers. The 2021 crisis has lasted longer and involved more freight than in 2015 and it still is expected to last into summer. 

Canada’s electronic logging device (ELD) mandate will not be enforced initially because no ELD has been certified for use in Canada yet. The mandate goes into effect June 12 and has similarities to the U.S. ELD rules due to...

Canada’s fast-approaching ELD mandate won’t be enforced — at first

An electronic-logging device (ELD) on the dash of a commercial truck. Canada will require the use of ELDs in commercial trucks as of June 12 when its ELD mandate comes into force.

Canada took a slower road than the United States to implementing its electronic logging device (ELD) mandate for commercial vehicles. In doing so, it added teeth: a requirement that ELDs undergo certification by a third party accredited by the government. 

When the Canadian ELD mandate takes effect on June 12, it won’t have any immediate bite. Initial enforcement measures, according to the Canadian government, will consist of “education and awareness.” The mandate approaches as no ELD has been...

5 New Year’s resolutions to reduce your fleet risk in 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic saw the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issue a series of rules exemptions in 2020, but at no point was the safe operation of commercial motor vehicles affected. As 2021 quickly approaches, and with the possible end of the pandemic in sight as vaccines reach the market, trucking carriers could see a return to normal operations at some point.

Safety, though, remains the primary objective for all operations. As waivers to existing rules expire, and new regulations...
