eDriver Logs Instinct ELD Driver Guide

Transportation (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) specifications as
found in 49 CFR Part 395 for Electronic Logging Devices, Subpart B.

eDriver Logs Instinct ELD Driver Guide

NOTE:
This guide is intended to complement Trimbles eDriver Logs ELD
training. No driver should attempt to rely solely on the eDriver Logs ELD
guide without first completing training from your company.
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 paper for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7 consecutive
days. For this reason you are required to carry a paper log book in your
vehicle at all times.

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

Carriers and Drivers are solely responsible
for ensuring that eDriver Logs ELD is used
correctly and in compliance with all hours of
service and other FMCSA laws and regulations.
