Striking a balance : electronic logging device requirements impacting animal transportation / Kody Blois, chair. : XC12-1/1-441-16E-PDF
"On 12 June 2021, amendments to the Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations (HOS Regulations) came into force requiring federally regulated long-haul commercial bus and truck drivers to install and operate electronic logging devices (ELDs) in their vehicles. ELDs are mechanisms connected to a vehicle’s engine that automatically record driving times to, among other things, monitor commercial drivers’ compliance with mandatory maximum working hours. Authorities enforce these limits to reduce the risk of driver fatigue and improve road safety. Previously, commercial drivers manually recorded their daily working hours in paper logbooks, which could be easily falsified or otherwise made incomplete, or used first generation Electronic Recording Devices, which varied in their technical specifications. Some commercial truck drivers who specialize in carrying livestock have noted that, while the HOS Regulations allow drivers facing an “emergency” or “adverse driving conditions” to work beyond their maximum service hours, they do not make any specific provision for livestock drivers who face an emergency related to the health or welfare of an animal in their care while in transit"--Introduction, page 3.
