Canada ELD Requirement
On January 1st, Canada is requiring all Electronic Logging Devices to be certified by the Canadian Transportation Organization, and our provider, DriverTech, is going through the process currently but will not meet the Jan 1 deadline. This means until our ELDs are certified by Canada, drivers will no longer be able to operate in or through Canada.
If you are dispatched on a load that goes into Canada, or transits through, and you are using the Driver Tech ELD, please contact your Fleet Manager or Safety and Compliance Dept as soon as possible.

Available Resources to help Maintain Your Equipment in the Winter
You will find your 2022-2023 Winter Maintenance Operations job aid on the My Roehl app, Driver Toolkit, then Job Aids. This job aid will help you be successful with your equipment this winter.
If you take your truck home, plug the truck in when below 20 degrees and make sure you disconnect your accessories, coolers, TV’s, etc. Also, when parking at home or at another location while enjoying home time, make sure the auto start is off.
When temperatures are 10 degrees or less, make sure your fuel is treated.
We recommend you carry additional coolant, fuel additive and spare fuel filters. You can pick these items up at any Roehl maintenance terminal.
Prepare to drive by warming the coolant temperature to 140 degrees before driving. This will ensure your fuel is warm enough to pass through the fuel filter.
And ensure you are properly connected to your trailer. Always do your three-point visual inspection for proper coupling.
Also, if you do not have winter cleats, pick up a free pair at the parts counter at any of our terminals.
If you have questions or want help please contact your fleet manager, business advisor if you are an owner operator or our maintenance support teammates.
