March 4, 2021
Yesterday, the Canadian Minister of Transport announced that any carriers operating in Canada after June 12 (the implementation date of the new Canadian Hours of Service rules) who are caught without a Transport Canada-certified ELD will not be penalized.

Transport Canada is currently working with the provinces and territories to develop a unified enforcement strategy. Stay tuned for more updates.
