Synchronization with ELD Device
The ELD App seamlessly syncs with the ELD device installed in
your vehicle. The app receives data from the device, including
vehicle speed, engine status, and odometer readings, to
accurately record your driving time and duty statuses. This
synchronization ensures that your HOS records are complete
and accurate.

HOS Compliance
The ELD App is designed to ensure compliance with Hours of
Service (HOS) regulations. It tracks your driving time, rest
breaks, and duty statuses, providing real-time visibility of your
compliance status. The app will alert you if you are
approaching your maximum allowable driving time or if you
need to take a mandatory rest break.

managing your duty status. From the main screen, you can

switch between Off Duty, Driving, On Duty, Sleeper, Yard
Moves, and Personal Use statuses with a simple tap.
Driving time is recorded automatically.
In the Logs section of the app, you can access and edit
your electronic logs. While driving time automatically logs

Inspection mode. This mode is specically designed to
facilitate inspections and provide easy access to your
electronic logs.
Upon entering the DOT Inspection mode, tap the "Start
Inspection" button to initiate the inspection process. The

organized format.
Hand your mobile device to the inspecting ocer, who can

and interface provided by the app. This enables them to
review your HOS records eciently and accurately.
If the inspecting ocer requests a copy of your logs or
further documentation, you can conveniently send them via
email or web services directly from the app. This feature
streamlines the process and ensures quick and secure
sharing of the required information.
