Electronic Logging Device Fact Sheet
What is an Electronic Logging Device (ELD)?
- An ELD is a tamper resistant device that tracks a driver’s hours of service and is integrated with a commercial vehicle’s on-board electronic system.
- ELDs can replace paper logbooks currently required under federal and provincial hours of service regulations.
What are the requirements for Regulated Vehicles and Hours of Service (HOS) in Manitoba today?
- A driver of regulated vehicle (over 4500 kg) is required maintain a daily logbook documenting the driver’s hours of service (HOS), unless exempted.
- Current exemptions in the Manitoba regulation:
- Limited-use vehicles less than 6800 kg (operated within defined radius).
- Farm trucks, municipal buses, and hearses.
- Emergency vehicles and vehicles responding electric power or natural gas outages.
- Exemptions included in the federal regulation:
- 2 and 3 axle vehicles transporting products of farm, forest, sea and lake if the driver is the producer.
- Emergency vehicles and vehicle providing relief in the case of a public welfare emergency.
Why are we consulting about ELD’s in Manitoba?
- Federal government is mandating the use of ELDs for all federally regulated commercial vehicle operators (carriers) starting in June 2021. Federally regulated carriers typically cross provincial borders (extra-provincial carriers).
- Manitoba adopts the federal regulation for all provincially regulated carriers (intra-provincial), with an exemption for limited use vehicles under 6800 kilograms, farm vehicles, and several others.
- Manitoba must decide if/how ELDs will be mandated for provincially regulated carriers.
- The Manitoba regulation must be updated to reflect the decision prior to June 2021.
What is the purpose of the consultation?
- To give stakeholders the opportunity to provide their ideas on how Manitoba can implement ELDs for intra-provincial carriers (i.e. carriers that only operate within Manitoba).
- To identify potential options for implementing the use of ELDs in Manitoba, while taking into consideration stakeholder ideas and concerns.
How will the information be used?
- Manitoba Infrastructure will document stakeholder input in a What We Heard Report, and will share the report with stakeholders when it is complete.
- Manitoba Infrastructure will use the consultation results to determine options for the province to respond to the planned federal mandate of ELDs. The results and a recommended option will be presented to government for final decision-making.
