Getting back into the business, and trying to get up to speed, so I don't have surprises when I hit the road.
I've never used ELDs but researched how they work, saw Youtube tutorials, and they don't seem difficult., but all of the videos show U.S. system, 70 hours 8 days.
Question 1 : I take it the Qualcomms etc support U.S. and Canadian Hours of service system (How it displays time remaining, etc.) ?
Question 2: Does it automatically flip at the border? Or do you have to reconfigure it to the other country's HOS ?
Question 3: The U.S. HOS are more stringent, 11 hrs driving vs. 13 etc.., so if, (just for example), I am after driving 12 hours when I get to the U.S. border from Canada, have I instantly broken the law as I pull in? While you are at the Customs office, which country are you technically operating in?
