Mandatory electronic logs coming to Canada too...

The changes will be "operationally feasible for the industry"

Does that mean that a carrier that has 4* trucks or less won't be required to comply?

If they were really worried about the sleep of truck and bus drivers they wouldn't wait two yrs,alot can happen in that length of time.

 

They can flip a switch if they really wanted to.elogs have proven time and time again they do not work to improve safety.nothing works and they need to accept that.elogs can't control ones sleep.alot of excellent drivers out there,why should they be subject to all these laws that's more about money and job creation then anything else.they should be targeting those companies that refuse to be law biding.

I see we still refuse to address the real reason a driver sometimes goes outside the lines a little bit. Why has nobody asked a driver when caught, "why did you falsify your book, driver?"

 

Personally I wouldn't mind being on e-logs. Saves me having to chicken scratch fill in a paper log. I also only work set hours and work relatively local so I'm never out of hours.

 

We've been using them for at least 5-6 years now. Can only recall about 3 years ago scale insisted on a report sent to the, by S haw our satellite provider. Shaw complied and in order to see the complete report the DOT would have had to have 1,400 pages of paper in his printer. A couple of times drivers have had to show their electronic log in the cab and no problems. Have a sign on the sides of the tractor that says Electronic On Board etc. and guy never get hassled about logs.

If I was still driving I would use them no problem.

 

Awesome this won't affect me.. Inter-Provincial and International drivers only.. Since I don't leave Ontario I won't need to do them... so anyone not leaving the province they work out of will not need these.. That's what I take from the reports...
