VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Dec. 30, 2020 - The COVID-19 pandemic has made a remarkable impact on the global economy, and millions of companies had to alter their operational processes and decision-making criteria permanently. The industry's real challenge in this crisis has been to keep up with the increased demand for the transport and distribution of essential supplies.
So what to expect from 2021, and what are our predictions for the transportation industry?
The new year will continue to change processes and established protocols in the industry. Significant changes are expected in regulations, COVID-19 measures, and the new Electronic Logging Device (ELD) requirements. Unavoidably, a shortage of drivers will continue to be brought up until a clearer understanding of the industry's future.
Here are a few changes to expect in the coming year:
Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) mandate implementation date in Canada is set for June 2021. In Canada, ELD devices will require third-party certification and compliance with the technical standards published by Transport Canada.
COVID-19 transmission is another concern facing the transportation industry, and the impact of the 2020 pandemic extends into the coming year for an indefinite amount of time. Thus, the driver shortage issue has been an ongoing problem in the transportation industry and is now more real than ever, with workers afraid of losing work because of the virus.
Canada's transportation ministers are committed to developing the Mandatory Entry-Level Training program to improve driver training and minimize the number of road collisions. The program is projected to be implemented in all provinces in 2021.
