The electronic logging device (ELD) mandate for federally mandated carriers will take effect on January 1, 2023.

The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) has advised that the provinces and territories are firmly committed to enforcing the ELD mandate in January 2023 and no announcements or further delays are expected. British Columbia is finalizing regulation surrounding the mandate, and the Government of BC intends to begin enforcement of ELDs at the start of the coming year.

Be sure your ELD is certified and compatible with the engine type of the commercial motor vehicle you are operating. The following BCTA ELD-provider members are now Transport Canada certified:

ELD Provider:

• Axon Development Corporation (Authorized Geotab Reseller)
• Fleet Complete
• GFI Systems Inc. (Assured Techmatics Inc Canadian reseller)
• Hutch Systems Inc.
• Isaac Instruments
• Omnitracs
• Samsara
• Switchboard
• Trimble Transportation

BCTA will be hosting ELD webinars over the coming months featuring CVSE. Members are encouraged to attend as they will provide details for CVSE’s plan for full enforcement starting in January, including how inspections of ELDs will take place roadside and how drivers and carriers can prepare themselves. Stay tuned for more details.
