The electronic logging device (ELD) as referred to in this manual is the Penske Driver
application (Penske Driver app) and the adapter installed on the Penske vehicle.
Follow the directions listed below to get started. For up-to-date information and
instructions, visit gopenske.com/hos.

1. Make sure that your device is plugged into a power source.
2. Verify that the volume is loud enough to hear audible alerts.
3. Make sure that you have the Penske Driver app installed for your device.
4. In order to use Hours of Service within the Penske Driver app, you must have
a registered account and your company must have Hours of Service enabled.
To register your company, please contact your local Rental Representative or
Penske Customer Success.
5. If you are using an Android device, the first time you use the app, you may see
some additional prompts requesting access to features on the device such as,
but not limited to, location and notifications. When encountering these prompts,
please tap Allow in order for the application to run properly.
6. Open and sign in to the app before powering on your vehicle to ensure ELD
is functional.
