Overview

Omnitracs One Drive will run on certified Android-based devices, including phones and tablets, and is
compatible with Android 7.0 or greater mobile devices.
Omnitracs One Drive uses the Bluetooth capability of a mobile device to connect to the Relay and obtain
engine data automatically from the trucks computer.
Data is transferred from the Relay via Bluetooth to the drivers smartphone, tablet, computer, or rugged
device running Omnitracs Drive. The data is then transferred via a data connection from the mobile device
to the host website for data collection and analysis.
The result is an easy-to-use dashboard of compliance and fleet optimization data and scorecards.
Drivers can use Omnitracs Drive to view and update Hours of Service (HOS) logs, record Driver Vehicle
Inspection results, begin and end routes and stops, and perform a variety of other tasks.

Driver HOS Log Overview
Viewing Your Driver Logs

You can use the ELD Activities menu of Omnitracs Drive HOS screen to access Driver Logs, Edit Log and
Work Time Extension.

When you select View Logs, you will be redirected to the Drivers Daily Log screen within the compliance
application. It is important to know how to display this screen when law enforcement personnel
request access to the HOS log or in the event of a roadside inspection.
The HOS Log screen has four different tabs: Log, Header, Certify, and
Unidentified.
All four tabs display eight days worth of logsthe current day plus the
previous seven days. Use the right and left arrow buttons to move
backward and forward through the viewable days.
Below is a high-level overview of each tab. We will discuss log
certification on unidentified driver profiles in more detail later in this
guide.

MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION

The HOS Log tab displays the
log graph and all log events
for the given day.

This tab includes an Inspection
Mode option. By default, the
Inspection Mode will be in the
On position to display
detailed information about
ELD-only events.
IMPORTANT: You must
present the Inspection Mode
screen to law enforcement
personnel.

The Header tab displays
detailed information about the
driver, carrier, vehicle, trailer,

indicator next to the Certify
tab label disappears.
The Unidentified tab displays details about any rejected
unassigned vehicle driving activity that was recorded on
the associated vehicle in the past 7 days or the current
day. This tab is more clearly identified as the Unidentified
Driver Profile. This tab is intended for use by law
enforcement officers when they review driver logs during
an inspection.
The activities (if any) displayed in the Unidentified Driver
Profile are related to the vehicle the Omnitracs Drive is
associated with. Activities with an Inactive Record Status
have been accepted by an authenticated driver that may
not be you. Those with an Active Record Status remain
unassigned.

Unassigned Vehicle Activity

If you associate to a vehicle equipped with a Relay within eight
days of unassigned vehicle activity being created with that same
vehicle, Omnitracs Drive must display unassigned driving segments
that have been stored on the Relay within those eight days. You
can view these activities when you open your HOS Log screen and
view the Unidentified tab.
Unidentified vehicle driving activity (UVA) not previous reviewed
by an authenticated driver is presented to the next authenticated
driver on Omnitracs One Drive when associating with the vehicle.
If you reject the UVA, it is sent back to the motor carrier, where it
can be assigned to another driver. When an Omnitracs One Host
user assigns UVA to a driver, it is sent to the assigned driver as a
suggested edit to their log, which they will then have to confirm or
reject.
When you receive notification of UVA:
1.

Select OK to review activity on the notification window. The
Review Unassigned Driving Events screen appears,
displaying all UVA created using the vehicle since the last
authenticated driver was associated with the vehicle.

Select Confirm or Reject for each unassigned driving event. Select the View Graph button if you want
to see how the UVA would fit into your existing log.

When you are finished, select Save to add any confirmed UVA event(s) to your log. You return to the
HOS Log screen and can see that the drive time formally associated with the confirmed UVA has now
been added to your log.

All UVAs created using the associated vehicle during the previous 8 days will be displayed on the
Unidentified tab. Activities with an Inactive Record Status have been accepted by an authenticated
driver (may not be you). Those with an Active Record Status remain unassigned. Having the information
on a separate tab makes it easier for law enforcement officials to view UVA when they are inspecting
logs.

Diagnostic and Malfunction Alerts

The ELD Mandate requires that the Relay record and store relevant diagnostic and malfunction events and
alert drivers when a diagnostic or malfunction event occurs. The Relay detects and records the diagnostic
and malfunction events for a minimum of eight days.
Omnitracs One Drive includes features that enable you to monitor diagnostics and malfunctions. The Relay
also immediately sends a notification to the motor carrier, viewable on the Omnitracs One website, that a
malfunction has occurred.

Omnitracs One ELD Driver Guide for use with DRIVE and the Relay - Rev A
MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION

When an ELD malfunction is detected or an ELD diagnostic fails, Omnitracs Drive displays a red X (for
malfunction) or orange exclamation point (for diagnostic) indicator on various dashboards of Omnitracs
Drive.

Depending on the nature of the Diagnostic or Malfunction event, the HOS Status values may change as
well. You can select the indicator to open the Diagnostics and Malfunction screen, which lists any
Diagnostic or Malfunction events that have been detected since login.

Paper Log Mode

Paper Log Mode (PLM) is triggered by any ELD Compliance Malfunction that is logged while the Omnitracs
One Drive is associated to a vehicle. When PLM is triggered, Omnitracs DRIVE immediately enters Paper
Log Mode.
When Paper Log Mode starts, you receive a message saying, There is an active ELD malfunction. You must
keep paper logs until the malfunction clears.

Select OK. When you return to the Omnitracs One Drive Dashboard, the values in the HOS Panel all read
NA.
Note: While in Paper Log Mode, you must be able to produce records of duty status for the current day
plus the seven previous days. This may require you to recreate each of the 8 days using paper logs.

Omnitracs One ELD Driver Guide for use with DRIVE and the Relay - Rev A
MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION

When the malfunction that triggered the PLM has cleared, you are taken out of Paper Log Mode. You
receive a message saying, ELD malfunction has cleared. You may resume use of the ELD as your Record of
Duty Status. Select OK to return to the Omnitracs One Mobile Dashboard.
Drivers need to continue using Omnitracs Drive to record hours of service even if a malfunction is active.
Per the FMCSA, as long as the malfunction does not interfere with the accurate recording of the drivers
HOS data. To support this requirement, the following malfunctions will no longer cause Omnitracs Drive to
switch to Paper Log Mode and drivers will not be prompted to keep paper records:
Power Compliance Malfunction
Position Compliance Malfunction
Data Transfer Malfunction
For Engine Sync malfunctions, Omnitracs Drive will not enter Paper Log Mode, but drivers will receive a
message advising them to review all duty status records and either continue to use the ELD if the records
are accurate or reconstruct the records if they are not accurate. The behavior of other malfunctions has not
changed.

Sending ERODS when Requested by Law Enforcement

As part of the ELD Mandate, drivers must be able to present safety officials with a copy of their records of
duty status for the current day and the past seven days upon request. Omnitracs One Drives ERODS File
Transfer functionality allows drivers to do so using either web services or email. In order to transfer an
ERODS file, the driver must be On Duty and within Bluetooth range of an associated vehicle to use this
option.
You can use the ELD Activities menu of Omnitracs Drive HOS screen to access Driver Logs and select View
Logs.
