If you do business in the US, you are familiar with the ideas of ELD devices and finding the right ELD solution. The Canadian ELD mandate rules are similar in many ways to USE electronic logging regulations. Both Canadian ELD regulations and US regulations require an ELD device to synchronize with the engine, provide GPS tracking, automatically capture driving time, and have an on-screen display for inspectors. An ELD needs a system to verify logs and agree to edits.
A critical difference between the Transport Canada ELD mandate and US rules is that ELDs must be third-party certified, not self-certified. GeoTab's devices have third-party certification, so are compliant in both Canada and the US; Connected Vehicles provides you with solutions that can cross the border. Drivers of commercial motor vehicles in Canada must transfer logs electronically to officers, unlike the US eRODS.
