Question: Are Canada- and Mexico-domiciled motor carriers permitted to use automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDS)?

Guidance: Canada and Mexico-domiciled motor carriers that are not subject to the electronic logging device (ELD) rule may operate in the United States (U.S.) with an AOBRD that meets the definition of an AOBRD in 49 CFR 395.15. A motor carrier domiciled in Canada or Mexico that is subject to the ELD ruler must use an ELD when operating in the U.S.
