Trimble bears no responsibility for the drivers failure
to comply with this requirement.

This guide is intended to complement eDriver Logs
ELD training. No driver should attempt to rely solely
on the eDriver Logs ELD guide without first completing
training from your company.

You are required to keep this guide in your vehicle at
all times. Provide this documentation to the auditor in
the case of a D.O.T. inspection. eDriver Logs ELD relies
on accurate input of data and appropriate use by the
driver. Trimble assumes no liability for erroneous, accidental, or intentional input of data or misuse of the
product.

If there is an ELD Compliance Malfunction on the device and you are not able to immediately resolve the
malfunction, you must begin keeping paper logs until
the device is once again compliant. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for common causes and resolutions. If your logs can no longer be accessed on the
device, you must reconstruct your logs on the paper
for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days. For this reason you are required to carrier a paper log book in your vehicle at all times.

The regulations announced by the FMCSA and the
Canadian government are subject to change. Trimble
will endeavor to automatically update the eDriver Logs
ELD device as soon as practical. Trimble assumes no
liability for reasonable delays in providing system updates or upgrades.
