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. June 12 marks the start of 12 months of “progressive enforcement” focusing on education and awareness. Over the next year motor carriers operating heavy vehicles in Canada will be encouraged to transfer to an ELD system certified by the accredited 3rd party.

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 application is being evaluated by the certification authority, and we will let you know as soon as the certification has been received.
