New Regulations for Transportation Industry in 2023

New regulations for commercial vehicles that will improve safety and align Nova Scotia with federal requirements will take effect January 1st. This means drivers of federally regulated commercial buses and trucks will be required to have an electronic logging device to help them accurately record their driving time.

These regulations will be in line with federal requirements, and it will also eliminate the need for drivers to record and maintain paper logbooks by hand. The changes were scheduled to come into effect on June 12th, but the deadline was extended to the first day of 2023.
