Introduction
The Eleos Drive ELD is a solution for achieving Hours of Service compliance. It is available for Android and iOS
devices.
As part of the greater Cloud ELD Solution, the Eleos Drive ELD App is used together with a telematics device model
number as listed on the FMCSA ELD list online, and the Fleet Management Application, MyGeotab (2017-11 release
or higher), or white-labelled equivalent, serve as an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) to provide end-to-end
compliance with federal regulations.
The content of this manual is divided into a section for drivers and a section for administrators.

Hours of Service Compliance

Clearances

The Application has a built-in clearance for users of the Eleos Drive ELD App called the Drive App user clearance.
The Drive App user clearance will allow the user to access HOS, DVIR, and messaging capabilities.

Note: Using HOS features will incur additional charges if your device is not on the HOS rate plan or
above. If you do not want to incur additional charges, remove the Administer HOS Logs and
View HOS Logs clearances for the driver.

If you wish to limit the features to which the driver has access to, click on the Drive App user clearance, then click
on the Add Sub-Clearance button.
A Sub-Clearance is a customized level of access to the application. It can be used to give a user more privileges or
fewer privileges based on organizational need. Below are some restricted-access modes for the Eleos Drive ELD
App.

Driver Assignment
When a driver logs in to the Eleos Drive ELD App and selects a vehicle, they will be assigned to the vehicle. Any
trips performed by the driver while they are assigned to a vehicle will be associated with their account. Once a
driver has logged out of the Eleos Drive ELD App, they will no longer be assigned to the vehicle.
If an incorrect driver has been associated with a log or if an unidentified HOS log has been generated, you will need
to edit the log. See the Editing Logs section for more information.

Hours of Service  Reports
The Fleet Management Application has a collection of reports to help you understand the duty statuses of the
drivers in your fleet. The basic reports available are:
 Duty Status Logs Report
 Violations Report
 Availability Report
These reports are accessible by navigating to Activity > HOS from the main menu.

Hours of Service  Duty Status Logs Report
This report allows you to view the records of duty status for any driver in your fleet. Use the Options button to
filter for specific drivers and time periods.
Note: The date information for HOS logs will appear in the drivers time zone, which may be different
from the time zone of the administrator.

Editing Multiple Logs
You can use the checkmark button to select multiple logs for editing at the same time.

Filtering Logs for Annotations
Select the Filter button to filter logs by those that already have annotations and those needing annotations.

Unassigned Logs
Unassigned logs are created when a vehicle is driven without a driver logged in. Trips made without a logged in
user will still be recorded and will have a duty status set automatically. These logs will all be attributed to the builtin Unidentified driver user. Drivers who do not claim their trips will not have accurate records of duty status.
You can assign an unassigned log to a driver as follows:
1. Navigate to the Duty Status Logs report (Activity > HOS > Duty Status Logs).
2. Use the Options to select the Unidentified driver user and an appropriate date range. Click Apply
changes to run the report.
3. Examine the duty status logs on the page. The location, date, and vehicle name information should provide
insight into which driver was responsible for the trip.
4. Select a single log for editing by clicking on it. Alternatively, select multiple logs by using the checkmark

button in the top-right corner and click Edit selected HOS logs.
5. If you are editing a single log, enter the name of the correct driver into Driver field. If you are editing
multiple logs, click the Replace With button to open the driver dialog, then enter the name of correct driver
into the Driver field.
6. Follow the same steps if you need to edit the Co-driver field as well.
7. Click Save to finalize your changes.

Filter for Unassigned Logs With or Without Annotations
Select the Filter dropdown at the top of the page, choose Without annotations or With annotations.
Unassigned Logs That Cannot Be Claimed
The carrier can choose to leave logs unassigned. However, per  395.32 (c)(1)(i), the carrier must
provide an annotation for any log without an assigned driver.
Example: A carrier uses a number of third-party mechanics for maintenance and repairs. The
mechanics do not have credentials to log in to the Eleos Drive ELD App. When moving a vehicle as part
of their work, the mechanics will create unassigned logs for the vehicle. Because the mechanics are not
part of the organization, they cannot claim the logs. The carrier must annotate these logs with an
explanation about the mechanics work.

Incorrectly Claimed Logs
The Eleos Drive ELD App asks drivers to claim unassigned logs every time they log in. Sometimes drivers can make
a mistake regarding the logs which they have claimed as their own. Claimed logs will affect the record of duty
status for a driver. It takes only a few erroneously claimed logs to put a driver in violation of the hours of service.
You can assign incorrectly claimed logs to the appropriate driver as follows:
1. Navigate to the Duty Status Logs report (Activity > HOS > Duty Status Logs).
2. Use the Options to select the driver who has incorrectly claimed a log. Click Apply changes to run
the report.
3. Find the log or logs that have been incorrectly claimed.
4. Select a single log for editing by clicking on it. Alternatively, select multiple logs by using the
checkmark button in the top-right corner and click Edit selected HOS logs.
5. If you are editing a single log, enter the name of the correct driver into Driver field. If you are editing
multiple logs, click the Replace With button to open the driver dialog, then enter the name of correct driver
into the Driver field. If you are still in the process of identifying the correct driver, select Unidentified
driver in the interim and annotate the log.
6. Follow the same steps if you need to edit the Co-driver field as well.
7. Click Save to finalize your changes.

After Editing a Log
Once a log has been edited, it will be permanently marked with a pencil icon. If you edit a verified log, the logs
verified status will disappear and the driver will have to verify the log once more.
