Q. Can drivers satisfy the Canadian ELD standards with a smartphone ELD app, or do you need to use an in-cab device?

Drivers may use portable devices, such as smartphones or other wireless device, if they meet the ELD technical specifications. But be sure that the portable device is mounted in a fixed position while operating your commercial vehicle and visible to the driver from their normal seated driving position.
