French Guide here In-Vehicle Setup Equip your vehicle with a telematics device, a compatible Android or iOS mobile device, and an IOX-USB accessory (optional). Contact your Administrator for more information. Logging In When you log in to the Drive App, you are prompted to complete a set of actions to synchronize your assets, ensure the vehicle is safe to operate, and verify any outstanding logs. If you start driving the vehicle without logging in, the Drive App detects the motion, and warns you to stop the vehicle and log in. If you do not log in, the App is unable to associate your duty status and other driving events with your account. Before you can start driving, you are prompted to: Select a vehicle; Add a shipment; Verify logs; Inspect the vehicle (Asset Inspection); and Inspect the trailer (Asset Inspection). The first time you log in to the Drive App, you are prompted to Accept the End User Agreement. After accepting the agreement, enter your Username and press Next to display the Password field. Enter your password (minimum 8 characters in length), and press Log in. NOTE: Tap the eye symbol to show/hide your password. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/2023 Back to Table of Contents 5 Driver's Guide to the Drive App Back to Administrators Guide *Spanish Guide here.

For drivers in Canada, screens will differ slightly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/2023 Back to Table of Contents 32 Driver's Guide to the Drive App Back to Administrators Guide *Spanish Guide here. French Guide here Previous Inspections with Defects If your previous inspection included defects, they must be resolved, and the inspection certified before you can perform a new inspection. To certify a previous inspection, you must have the Mark Asset Inspection as certified clearance. If defects do not require repairs, no certification is required. To learn more, please contact your Administrator. You can begin resolving defects by pressing the red Repair button on the Asset Inspection screen. Press Expand previous inspection, and under Unresolved defects, review each defect and remarks left by the driver. When defects have been repaired, select Repaired or not a defect and add a new remark with resolution details. Press Save, and on the screen that follows, press Certify previous inspection to begin your new inspection. If a repair is not necessary, add a remark to explain why, and select Repair not necessary for the safe operation of the vehicle. For this selection, you have the option to Select a new asset. When prompted, complete the inspection by pressing Yes to Sign Asset Inspection, and to verify that the vehicle was inspected in compliance with regional and/or federal regulations. NOTE: For Canadian rulesets, the option to certify the inspection is not available. Minor defects can be carried over to future inspections, and when repaired, all inspections carried over, are also marked as repaired. TIP: You can review previous Inspections from the Roadside Check shortcut. Under the Asset Inspection tab, press the View button. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/2023 Back to Table of Contents 33 Driver's Guide to the Drive App Back to Administrators Guide *Spanish Guide here.

To learn more, please contact your Administrator. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/2023 Back to Table of Contents 34 Driver's Guide to the Drive App Back to Administrators Guide *Spanish Guide here. French Guide here After certifying a previous inspection, the App starts a new inspection. To view the most recent inspection, press Expand previous inspection. You can perform three types of daily trip inspections: Pre-trip inspections to verify there are no defects at the beginning of a trip, or that existing defects have been repaired, and the vehicle is safe to operate. In-trip inspections to record defects found while the trip is in progress. Post-trip inspections to verify there are no defects at the end of the trip, or that defects found are recorded and scheduled for repair before the next trip. Walk around the vehicle and record any defects you find. Add remarks to each defect if needed. You can select defects from the default list, or from a custom list(s) created by your Administrator. If a defect is minor, proceed with your day. If a defect is critical, alert your Manager before operating the vehicle. If a critical defect is recorded, the App displays a warning on the lock screen to notify the driver. If desired, press the camera icon to take, or upload a picture of the defect (Pro and Proplus rate plans only). If no defects are found, press No Major or Minor defects found. If defects are found, press Done. When prompted, press Yes to verify the vehicle was inspected in compliance with regional and/or federal regulations. NOTE: If no inspection is performed within the app-defined period between previous and new inspections, an exception occurs. The exception is recorded at the end of the period, not for the duration of the period.

French Guide here Categorizing Trips The Trips feature allows you to categorize your driving activity as Business or Personal. Trip categories are useful for expense claims, tax benefit calculations, or company drive logs. Trips can be categorized up to two days after they have been completed, and annotations can be shared to provide additional trip details. To require annotations for each trip, your Administrator must enable View trip annotations in the Fleet Management Application. Otherwise, annotations are optional. NOTE: Trip Categorization is in Feature Preview. To enable Feature Preview, please contact your Administrator.

If you are asked to participate in a roadside check, you may be asked to provide up to eight (8) days of HOS logs (depending on your ruleset) for inspection. Before entering Roadside Check mode, you can set a one-time 4-digit PIN to be used when entering and exiting Roadside Check mode. A new PIN must be set each time you enter Roadside Check mode. If the App is closed during the inspection, opening it will return you to Roadside Check mode, where you will have to re-enter the one-time PIN in order to exit. If the vehicle is driven while in Roadside Check mode, the PIN is cleared and the lock screen activated. You can still exit Roadside Check mode, but a PIN is no longer required. Enter a PIN and press Continue. Enter the PIN again when prompted and press Confirm PIN. If you choose not to set a PIN, press No PIN. For quick access to the Asset Inspection, press Asset Inspection at the top of the screen, and select View.

French Guide here Logging Out Logging out of the Drive App disassociates you from your vehicle. Any trips made in a vehicle while logged out of the Drive App are not associated with the driver. You can log out of the Drive App by pressing your name and selecting Log out from the dropdown menu. NOTE: For Canadian ELD drivers, if no exemptions are enabled, Exemptions: None available displays on the screen. Before logging you out, the Drive App prompts you to do the following end-of-day tasks: Set your HOS duty status Complete an Asset Inspection Detach trailers and shipments Verify your logs Inspect Assets Before you log out, you are prompted to complete another Asset Inspection, if you have driven your vehicle since completing the last inspection. The logout workflow is similar to the log in workflow. Like the log in workflow, available exemptions, including ELD-exempt status, are also displayed. If you choose to Skip the Asset Inspection, the event is recorded in the Audit Log. If you are performing a Post-trip inspection, your duty status automatically switches to On Duty. The new On Duty status is automatically annotated to reflect that a post-trip inspection has occurred. Remember, you must have the Perform Asset Inspections clearance to create an Asset Inspection. To learn more, please contact your Administrator. ! IMPORTANT: Although you have the option to skip the Asset Inspection when logging out, according to the ELD requirements in North America, a driver must prepare an Asset Inspection at the completion of each days work, and shall submit those reports to the motor carrier upon their return to the home terminal. This does not relieve the motor carrier from the responsibility of repairing and certifying any defects listed on the inspection, prepared at the end of each days work, that are likely to affect the safe operation of the motor vehicle. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/2023 Back to Table of Contents 45 Driver's Guide to the Drive App Back to Administrators Guide *Spanish Guide here.
