alex g Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 This is possibly a Canadian road rules question I'm not sure if same rules as U.S. I have a guy interested in my 2000 CH but he doesn't want it if he has to install elog. He would be crossing border to U.S. The truck was built in January 2000 I'm trying to decifer rules but I'm not a lawyer so I'm confused on the issue. So far here's what I've found hopefully someone can help Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62572-is-eld-required/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ws721 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 If the trucks birthday is Jan 2000 then chances are the engine was built in 1999. If that's the case it is exempt from ELD. Friend runs a 2000 Freightliner. Gets a lot to see his ELD. Tips the hood, shows them the 1999 engine build date and he is exempt 1 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

david wild Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Boys from Deerfield are right, it's the engine build date that matters Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62572-is-eld-required/#findComment-451355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex g Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 I looked on valve cover it says 2000 engine. This is what confuses me because I would also assume it was built pre 2000 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62572-is-eld-required/#findComment-451356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex g Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'm going to research when engine was built I think that's the key. Thanks for replies so far Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62572-is-eld-required/#findComment-451357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 You would have to find a build date on it to prove the engine was made before Jan 1, 2000. But most MTO don't look at engine, they would go off build date on your door tag. In which case you would need E-Log because it is an electronic engine.

alex g Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Thanks bbigrig he never did see me again about truck so I put it back to work again. So far I'm glad I kept it. Its a good running truck the crew at Mack must have been having a good day when they built it.
