As it was the case for carriers already using ELDs in the U.S., motor carriers operating in Canada will now have to account for unassigned driving segments that occur when a vehicle is in motion and no driver is logged into the ELD. All unassigned driving segments will be temporarily assigned to an Unidentified Driver.
Once the unassigned driving segments are assigned, the driver will be notified and will have to either accept it or refuse it. Carriers must manage the unassigned driving segments that are still unassigned or that have been refused by the driver.
