Do I need to have a cab card in the truck?

Yes. The Canadian HOS regulations have been amended to require the motor carrier to ensure that each commercial vehicle that it operates carries an ELD information packet containing a current version of the following documents:

(a) a user’s manual;

(b) an instruction sheet for the driver describing the data transfer mechanisms supported by the ELD and the steps required to generate and transfer the data with respect to the driver’s HOS to an inspector;

(c) an instruction sheet for the driver describing the measures to take in the event that the ELD malfunctions; and

(d) a sufficient number of RODS to allow the driver to record the information required under section 82 for at least 15 days.

Regulations: Section 77(7)
