CUSTOMER SUPPORT | 888-346-3486

eDriver Logs ELD system complies with and is tested against the United
States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA) specifications as found in 49 CFR Part 395
for Electronic Logging Devices, Subpart B.

TRANSFORMING THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS

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.

TRANSFORMING THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS

Carriers and drivers are solely responsible for
ensuring that this system is used properly and
in compliance with all hours of service and other
FMCSA laws and regulations.

Driver Overview
Q: What is Available Drive Time, and how is it calculated?

Q: What does it mean if Drive Time Left is N/A?
A: N/A means that the logging device cannot calculate
Available Drive Time due to insufficient data. Review all records of duty status, including paper logs,
to determine your actual driving time left.

A: Available Drive Time is the maximum time in hours
and minutes (hh:mm) that a driver legally may continue
to operate a commercial vehicle without rest. The
logging device calculates the time remaining until each
applicable hours of service limit will be reached. The
lowest of these is displayed as Available Drive Time.

TRANSFORMING THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS

Driver Overview
Q: What is the difference between Work Shift rules and Daily rules?
A: Work Shift rules restrict the on duty time that a driver may accumulate from the moment the driver reports to
duty to the moment he or she is released from duty. Work Shift calculations do not reset until the driver has accumulated the minimum consecutive off duty time required by the applicable US or Canadian hours of service
regulations.
Canada has additional rules, called Daily Rules, which restrict the on duty time a driver may accumulate from
the start of one 24-hour log period to the start of the next and establish mandatory minimums for the total
off duty time a driver must accumulate within a log period. Daily calculations automatically reset at the beginning of each log day.
Q: Why do my driving time details show Salesperson instead of Cycle Duty?
A: If you are operating in the US as a driver salesperson1, the typical cycle duty limit does not apply toward your
driving time left so long as you do not exceed 40 hours driving in any period of seven consecutive days. The
salesperson value shows how long you may continue to drive under this driver salesperson exception.

Q: Ive been waiting a long time, but still havent received my logs. What should I do?
A: The system will try to reach the Asset Control Center server for sixty seconds. If the server cannot be
reached, you will receive an error message and must reestablish communications before signing in. If
you have recently signed in to this device, a Stop button will appear after sixty seconds, allowing you
to continue signing in without reaching the server.
Q: I received a message that there are proposed edits and /or un-certified logs that need to be
reviewed on the eDriver Logs ELD website. What do I do?
A: You will need to sign in to the ELD Driver Portal to complete these actions, as they are required on logs
that are older than can be accessed on the device.
