The Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA) has initiated a collaborative effort with RVDA of Canada and the RV Industry Association to gather industry input on the upcoming renewal of the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) exemption. The current exemption, which has been instrumental in ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of recreational vehicles nationwide, is set to expire in October 2026.
The CRVA is collecting industry data through a confidential information form designed for Transport Canada to assess the safety, compliance, and operational effectiveness of the exemption. This submission will provide valuable insights into the current state of driveaway-towaway RV transportation companies in Canada.
The association emphasizes that every company currently operating under the exemption should participate in this submission to ensure their voice is heard and their interests are represented.
While some companies have already been identified through Transport Canada records, others may not be captured. CRVA urges all affected companies to submit their information to support the renewal process.
Companies that are no longer operating under the exemption or do not wish to be included in the submission are not required to respond. However, this exclusion may result in missed opportunities for industry representation and potential regulatory changes.
All responses will remain confidential and will be aggregated into a single industry submission to Transport Canada. This ensures that all participating companies can benefit from the collective input of their peers.
The deadline for submitting information is March 31. CRVA encourages all driveaway-towaway RV transportation companies to take advantage of this opportunity to shape the future of ELD exemptions in Canada.
By gathering industry input, CRVA aims to create a comprehensive and data-driven request that will support the renewal process. The association's efforts demonstrate its commitment to ensuring the continued efficiency and safety of RV transportation nationwide.
The extension of the driveaway-toway exemption is crucial for maintaining the competitiveness and viability of the Canadian RV industry, which relies heavily on this type of transportation to deliver recreational vehicles to dealerships across the country.
