The ELD will automatically switch to driving mode once the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) is moving up to a set speed threshold of 5 miles per hour
The vehicle will be considered stopped once its speed falls to zero miles per hour and stays at zero miles per hour for three consecutive seconds
When the duty status is set to driving, and the CMV has not been in motion for five consecutive minutes, the ELD will prompt you to confirm a continued driving status or enter the proper duty status
If you do not respond to the ELD prompt within one minute, the ELD will automatically switch the duty status to on-duty not driving beginning at the
time the vehicle was considered stopped

You will not lose any drive time and you can change your status while not in motion
