My argument is that the challenge with the ELDs' max service means we can't meet those regulatory requirements.
If you're stopped on the side of the road because you've maxed out your hours, the animals are on the trailer. That adds to your total feed, water and rest interval time. Now you can't make it to a rest stop. You have no way to oblige the federal regulation around humane transport.
In fact, our argument and our concern with the ELD policy for livestock transportation is that it won't allow us to keep our obligation to provide feed, water and rest intervals. Most of our sheep will make it from Manitoba to Toronto in a single trip because we have nowhere to feed, water and rest them.
Our industry is already designed to work around and respect those regulations. The risk is that these logs may mean that we can't respect those regulations. We push back on these driving logs because we want to ensure that we're respectful of the welfare of the animals.
