Read moreThe deadline to meet Canadian ELD requirements is fast approaching. As of the January 1, 2023 effective date, all commercial motor vehicles over a certain weight threshold will have to operate using an approved, certified ELD.
For an ELD device to receive certification in Canada, it must be submitted to a third-party certifying body who then reviews and either approves or rejects it based on whether it meets standards set forth by the Canadian government. Only then can that ELD be offered for sale.
That doesn't leave a lot of time for fleet managers to comply, and it's urgent to start the preparation process now. Here's what you need to consider and the steps you need to take to help you meet the Canadian ELD compliance deadline with confidence.
Find out how the right ELD solution can help you build an efficient and compliant fleet.
The bottom line is that carriers must talk to their ELD providers to see if they plan on submitting their devices for Canadian certification. If you’re a carrier with a device that won't be submitted for certification, you’ll have to find another supplier or stop operating in Canada. Especially because you won’t be allowed to run more than one ELD within a single fleet. Every truck and vehicle within a fleet will have to have the same compliant ELD device, even if only a few trucks run in Canada. This means changing your entire ELD environment because of those Canadian-traveling trucks, or possibly giving up your Canadian business.
And, as of now, it does not appear that there will be a "soft enforcement" grace period. All signs currently point to full compliance rules going into effect on January 1, 2023.
That means time is of the essence. The right ELD solution can help you simplify compliance and increase efficiency for your fleet. Find out more about what an ELD can do for you. And check back here regularly for an updated list of certified electronic logging devices in Canada.
