Provincial carriers are reminded that effective December 1, 2023, those that travel more than 160 kilometers outside their home terminal or temporary work site, and that are required to track hours of service by filling out a record of duty status, will be required to have electronic logging devices installed in commercial vehicles. These devices are used to track a driver’s hours and monitor compliance with the Hours of Service Regulations.
Vehicles will be checked primarily at weigh scale stations throughout the province for mandatory electronic logging device usage. School bus drivers in this province are exempt from using electronic logging devices.
The electronic logging device mandate for provincial carriers aligns with Federal Government requirements for all federally-regulated commercial carriers, announced in late December 2022.
Information regarding electronic logging devices is available here.
