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.
