The Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA), in collaboration with RVDA of Canada and the RV Industry Association, is reminding driveaway and towaway RV transportation companies to submit their information in support of CRVA’s Electronic Logging Device (ELD) exemption extension request to Transport Canada.
The current exemption, which has been critical to the efficient delivery of recreational vehicles nationwide to Canadian RV dealerships, is set to expire in October 2026.
To support the renewal process, 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 exemption has been essential to ensuring RVs can be delivered safely and efficiently across Canada,” said Shane Devenish, president of the Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association. “We want to make sure that every company currently operating under the exemption has an opportunity to be included in this submission.”
CRVA said it has been working directly with Transport Canada and industry partners to compile a comprehensive, data-driven request. While some companies have already been identified through Transport Canada records, others may not be captured.
Any company currently using — or that has previously used — the ELD exemption is strongly encouraged to participate.
Companies that are no longer operating under the exemption or do not wish to be included are not required to respond.
The information being collected includes:
- Company details and operating regions
- Safety and collision reporting
- Operational benefits and challenges under the exemption
All responses will remain confidential and will be aggregated into a single industry submission to Transport Canada.
The deadline is March 31.
