The ELD has three different accounts:

Driver: Unique, per-driver account used by drivers Hours of Service and ELD regulations. This account records duty status changes (RODS) and allows the export of driver’s records for printout, display and agent output file generation.

Support: Account used by the carrier and ELD manufacturer to setup, configure, update and troubleshoot the ELD. No duty status changes are recorded with this account and no access to driver’s record of duty status changes is permitted under the support account.

Non-authenticated: All operation of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) is recorded under this account (a.k.a Unidentified Driver) if no driver has logged into the ELD. Non-authenticated records (vehicle movement and on-duty time) are stored on the ELD as well as the carrier and should be assumed by a driver account.

Login using your driver’s credentials. Login IDs, and the driver’s license associated with the login ID, cannot be duplicated and are unique in the ELD system.

• Each driver using the system will have a unique login ID.
• This login name and password is for the specific driver’s use only and must not be shared with any other person (driver or not). The login name belongs to the driver and is linked to the driver’s personal information (e.g.driver’s license, etcetera). If the driver changes carrierand is now driving for a different carrier, the login name, under certain circumstances, will remain the same and it is the driver’s obligation to ask the home base carrier to update the carrier name and DOT number on the system.

The driver is restricted to be logged on to only one ELD at any time. In order for the driver to logon on a different mobile device, the driver must change to off duty status and logout from the previous device.

Driver’s unlock. In an event the driver is still logged on aELD, but the device ceased to function or gets lost, the driver must call the home base carrier and ask for his login name to be unlocked. The unlock process will change the driver’s status to off duty at the time the driver solicited the login unlock.

Before driver’s logs can be exported and shared with an authorized agent, the driver must update the correct vehicle information. Please tap on the truck or trailerimage to pick from the asset list downloadedduring the login (see list below) or to manually enter (if allowed) a new truck or trailer.Once you select a tractor or trailer from thedownloaded list the ELD will always use theVIN number, license plate and registration state displayed on the list.

Important: Enter your vehicle’s dashboard’s odometervalue (twice) in order for the ELD to adjust discrepancies between the dashboard and engine odometer.

Make tractor and trailer selection

You can also add a new tractor or trailer (if allowed by your carrier) by selecting the + button located on the top right of the screen:

Once a new assetis created on the ELD, the asset information is broadcasted to the ELD portal and other ELDs operating under the same carrier.

To connect to the ECM device, tap on Scan Devices, wait for the device to show up (make sure the correct ECM ID shows up)

• For the ECM deviceto work properly and the ELD to be able to connect to the device and read engine data, the engine must be turned on. Keep this in mind when operating the ELD. Duty status changes, as an example, require engine parameters when generated. Make sure the engine is still running when making duty status changes. Some ELD configurations lock an ELD to a specific ECM device, in which case the Scan Devices screen is not shown and the ELD will automatically run the diagnostic.

  Some ELD configurations lock an ELD to a specific ECM device, in which case, the Scan Devices screen is not shown and the ELD will automatically run the diagnostic.

Once connected to the ECM device you can run an ELD diagnostics (accessible from the top-right menu). The diagnostic checks critical components on your ELD and all areas must pass the test in order for you to remain complaint.

Bluetooth and ECM connection status: The ELD must be able to read engine data at all times. Make sure the Bluetooth and ECM connection indicators remain green. If the indicator turns red, please go to Scan Devices and connect to the ECM-linked device.

We recommend verifying the driver’s profile. Please make sure the information is correct: carrier name, your rule set (60-hour or 70-hour) and the home base time zone.Select the ruleset drop-down to change rule set from 60h to 70h and vice versa.Select the units of measurement (miles,gallons, kilometers or liters). Starting 24h time is set by your carrier butcould be changed at any time. Just keep inmind that the new 24h starting time will takeeffect on your next cycle (after the 36h restart).

As a driver, current regulations allow up to 75 Km of driving for personal use. This provision allows you to, for instance, drive to the nearest rest area, drive home among other reasons. The ELD will prompt you to add a pre-defined remark or type a different reason.

• The ELD must be connected to the ECM devicein order for the Personal Use provision (button) to be available.

Once you have reached the 75 Km limit you will receive a notification and you will be automatically switched to Driving duty status:

If the ELD shuts down (e.g. power loss) or restarted, you will be prompted to either exit or continue the Personal Use status:

The ELD also allows you to drive the vehicle inside a yard. Please, switch to Yard Move (YM button) before putting the vehicle in motion. If the vehicle’s speed exceeds 32 Km/h you will be switched (automatically) to Driving duty status.

Same as Personal Use, if the ELD is restarted, you will be prompted to either remain in the Yard Move status or exit such a status.

• Deferral
  You, as a driver, may split the off-duty time over any two consecutive days by deferring a maximum of two hours of the required daily off-duty time from the first day to the second day and increasing the total driving and on-duty times in the first day by not more than two hours. To make use of deferral of daily OFF-Duty time, tap on the Deferral checkbox on the ELD’s main screen. If you have taken the required 10-hour OFF-Duty time for the current 24-hour period, then no deferral time is needed, and a notification will show you are in such situation: If you would like to defer time to the next day use the slider to select how much time you would like to defer:Once you select how much time you want to defer, you will need to confirm:For the current and the next day, your main ELD screen will show information regarding you deferred time and when OFF-Duty time is fully taken in order to remain compliant with Hours-of-Service regulations:

  % If you are stopped on the road, we recommend you to enter the Roadside Inspection Mode by tapping on thebutton. This mode allows you to export the Printout/Display document as well as exporting the ELD data file:

Every duty status change must be certified before exporting the driver’s logs. Select the “Certify Logs” option from the menu to list all unverified logs. Select each day and tap on the “Certify” button. At the end of each 24-hour period, the ELD will automatically prompt the driver to certify logs for the last 24 hours period. During the driver login and logout, the driver will be prompted to certify the logs.

Remember, driving time can only be increased, on automatically recorded records; and deleted, reduced or increased on manually recorded records! Your ELD must be synchronized to your tractor’s ECU (via ECM device). Failure to read engine values will make you non-compliant.

Daily ON-DUTY, cycle ON-DUTY and possible violations will be calculated according to the new record change.

During the login process, you will be prompted to review the existing unidentified logs.

If the unidentified logs do not belong to you, just tap on SKIP. If some, or all, unidentified logs belong to you select REVIEW LOGS, select the checkbox associated to the logs that belong to you and assume the logs. The carrier can later revert those logs back to the unidentified if needed for which you will be asked to confirm.

For time to time, the carrier you work with may suggest some changes to your logs. You are responsible for assuming or rejecting those suggestions.

Carrier-proposed edits will show on your ELD at different times. They will show during login and logout process and they will also be shown as a new ELD message on the main screen:
