An Update on Verizon Connect and the Canadian ELD Mandate

What’s happening?

From June 12, 2021 all Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs) operating in Canada will be subject to the Commercial Vehicle Hours of Service Regulations for electronic logging devices¹. Full enforcement of the rules starts on January 1, 2023. 

Current state

Verizon Connect is committed to providing a certified ELD compliant solution for carriers operating in Canada. Our HOS WorkPlan application has been updated to operate under the Canadian ELD rule set when in Canada and the US ELD rule set while driving in the US. The Android version of the application has been certified by the Canadian certification authority and will be released soon. The iOS version of the application is being evaluated by the Canadian certification authority, and we will let you know as soon as the certification has been received.
