System Overview
The PowerFleet Electronic Logging Device (ELD) system consists of a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) in the
vehicle, in this case the LV9000, that communicates via cellular communication to an internet-based fleet
management system. This user manual is designed to guide drivers in the use of the PowerFleet ELD system
in order to automate their Hours of Service (HOS) driver logs, sometimes referred to Record of Duty Status
(RODS), as required under FMCSA mandate in the US.

Problems Solved
The LV9000 serves as a tool to maximize fleet operational efficiencies by linking the driver and truck with
back-office transportation and fleet management systems, a tool to keep drivers knowledgeable about their
current or short-term future safe driver status, as well as an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) that meets
FMCSA ELD Mandate requirements.

Features








Minute by minute GPS reporting
Reduce idle time and fuel burn
Reduce logging errors and risk of log violation
Customizable driver workflows based on internal company rules and requirements
Performance data on drivers and trucks
Identify maintenance problems before they happen
Real-time delivery information and up-to-the-minute hours-of-service information

source of the commodities.
The LV9000 Ag Exempt tab on the ELD  Remaining  Details screen displays the drivers Agricultural
Exempt status based on integrations with transportation management systems that support the Ag Exempt
process.

CarrierWeb ELD System Overview
The CarrierWeb CarrierMate ELD system consists of a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) in the
vehicle that communicates via cellular communication to an internet based fleet management
system. The MDT serves both as a tool to maximize fleet operational efficiencies by linking the
driver and truck with back office transportation and fleet management systems as well as an
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) that meets Federal ELD Mandate requirements. This user manual
is designed to guide drivers in the use of the CarrierMate ELD system in order to automate their
Hours of Service (HOS) driver logs as required under the mandate.

Logging in to the MDT
When you begin your day on the MDT, you will be presented with the green Login screen that
includes the login and password entry fields. This green login screen lets you know that no other
driver is currently logged into this unit. Reminder: A supply of blank driver's records of duty status
graph-grids sufficient to record the driver's duty status and other related information for the duration
of the current trip is required to be in the vehicle at all times.

Next touch Press Here next to the Password and enter the password provided by your fleet
manager.

Note that passwords are case sensitive. If your password includes lower case letters, click the case
toggle button to change to lowercase. For security purposes, only the current letter entered of your
password will show on the screen, with previously entered letters/numbers showing as stars. Press
OK to complete your entry.

Note that if you do not receive your available hours information, it may mean that your unit cannot
communicate with the CarrierWeb website. View the communications signal strength indicator at the top of
the login screen, if it is red, that means your unit is not in communication (See image below). Move the
vehicle to see if you can to get better reception. If your unit is unable to communicate, you will not be able
to log in. Contact your manager for further instructions.

Once youve reviewed your available hours, click the Login button in the lower left hand corner of
the screen. The MDT will begin to download your ELD log history. The Downloading counter
indicates progress.

Editing your log
The edit button in the ELD tab allows you to edit your non-driving duty statuses.

Move to the day that you need to make changes on and click the edit button from within the ELD tab.
Youll then see ELD Driver Edit in blue letters at the top of the screen.

Change a duty status
There are two ways to make edits to your recorded data. The first is to change a record from one
status to another. For instance, lets say you chose the on duty status, when you in fact meant to go
off duty. In this case, I want to change the On Duty status at 12:19 to off duty. To change the
activity itself, scroll down until you see the record that you want to change and click on it.

CarrierWeb LLC

1.0 - 2018352

Page 29 of 55

The detail that is associated with the record will now be displayed. The data in black is for reference
and cannot be changed. The items in blue are driver editable data. I click on the Code: Status
Change: On-Duty not driving to call up the change screen.

After clicking the status change line, I am presented with the four ELD categories that I can choose.
Since I meant to go Off Duty - I choose that status on the list, and press OK.

CarrierWeb LLC

1.0 - 2018352

Page 30 of 55

The red color of the status change indicates that you have changed the original status. From here
you can edit additional fields, apply the change, cancel out of the change or add additional info.

Add additional info

After applying the change, the record will appear red beneath your grid.

CarrierWeb LLC

1.0 - 2018352

Page 31 of 55

Scrolling up to the grid, you will see the original status in a faint light blue line, and the new status
that will be saved as the dark blue line. The change is not recorded until you press the save button
to complete the edit.

When you press save, you will be prompted to enter a comment. This is a required field. Enter the
reason for your change and press save.

CarrierWeb LLC

1.0 - 2018352

Page 32 of 55

After saving your comment, you will immediately be prompted to certify your edited log that shows
your change.

Youll also see that the system retains your original duty status information as required by the
FMCSA.

Once ready, accept and agree to the certification statement. As we saw earlier in this manual, you
can also defer certification until you are ready.

CarrierWeb LLC

Page 33 of 55

Using the grid to edit your log
The second way to edit your log is to use the grid controls. In this example, lets say I had actually
come on duty at 8:05 AM on the 11th. To add that time in using the grid, I once again click on the
Edit button for the day I want to edit..

I again see that I am in the ELD Driver Edit screen. This time however, Ill use the grid. To do so - I
touch anywhere on the screen to activate screen edits.

I now see the instructions at the bottom of the screen that tell me to touch the graph on the category
line near the time that I want to edit. Since I want to go on duty at 8:05 AM , I touch the graph on the
imaginary on duty line that runs horizontally on the screen at about the 8 AM mark. Ill adjust this
time next.

CarrierWeb LLC

1.0 - 2018352

Page 34 of 55

When I touch the grid in my target area, I see a dark red line that appears on the on duty line from
0800 to 0900. This red line is that status that I will apply when I hit the apply button. See that the
line is a light pink at the top of the edit window, showing what my current status is.
I can now adjust the edit time using the time controls. The duty status labels above the From and
To times help show me where I am at on the grid. When an arrow points left and right on either
side of the status description, that indicates that the control is within a status. So  means
that the control is in the middle of the Off Duty period.

Since I was on duty up until my first On Duty status, I use the right arrow control, directly above the
To: label to move my on duty period to abutt my first on duty. I know that I have moved my edit
status to the beginning of my on duty event because the status label above the to control shows an
ODND>, the arrow to the right of the label and none on the left indicates I am at the beginning of the
next on duty status that begins at 10:41.

CarrierWeb LLC

Page 35 of 55

I can then use the small triangle above the from time minute to change the from time to 08:05.

I click the Apply button, and once again see the light blue line indicating my original status, and the
dark blue line indicating the change that I have applied. I click Save to make the change to my
Hours of Service record.

Accepting manager proposed edits
There is also one more way that edits can be made to your log. However, this time, the edit has
come from a manager, likely at your request.
When a manager makes an edit to your log on the website, you will receive the message that an edit
has been made for you. You will see this message during your next on duty not driving activity
following the edit.
If not ready to view the edits, you can choose Not ready and defer accepting the edits in the same
way that we have already seen for log certifications. If you are ready to view the suggested edits,
go ahead and choose Yes.

Youll now be presented with the suggested edits made by management. The light blue lines show
the original status and the dark blue lines show what will be saved to your record if you accept the
changes. You may either save or reject the changes.

Either choice will require you to enter a reason. We will save this change, enter the edit reason and
choose save. Once again, we will immediately be prompted to certify the new record.

Other hours of service information:
Remaining hours warnings
Management can enable hours of service alerts that will display on your MDT when you are
approaching out of hours situations. The alerts can be setup to provide a first warning an hour
before running out of Drive, On duty or time to next 30 minute break. A reminder period can also be
set to again warn of impending out of hours at multiple intervals in the time between the initial
warning and pending violation.

Motion Lock Screen
As soon as the wheels begin turning on your vehicle, the MDT screen will show the Motion Lock
screen. This screen shows the active driver in the upper left hand corner of the screen along with
their time in current duty status in green. The drivers available hours are also shown on the Motion
Lock screen.
As a single driver logged in, you will not be able to enter any information while the truck is in Motion

Assuming unidentified Records
If the vehicle is driven without a valid driver logged in, the driving detail is associated with the
Unnassigned driver.
If driving in a vehicle when not logged in, the driver will see a visual warning on screen as well as an
audible alert, letting them know that a driver is not logged in to the system. Anyone who moves a
vehicle and exceeds the ELD mandated drive initiation speed of 5 MPH will generate unassigned
driving records, including yard personnel, mechanics, and drivers who forget to log in.

The ELD mandate requires that drivers logging in to the system be given an opportunity to accept
generated unassigned driving into their HOS records.
The next driver logging in to the MDT will be presented with the notification below that there are new
unidentified driving records on the MDT. He clicks Next to see the records.

CarrierWeb LLC

Page 45 of 55

All new unidentified driving records will be presented to the driver on this screen. If there are
multiple instances, each event will be listed. Each driver who logs in to the MDT will be asked if they
want to accept the record(s). A driver will only be asked once for a specific event. After they have
rejected it, they will not be asked if they want to accept it again. In this screen, the driver can click
on an event to accept it - or he can Reject All on the screen.

To accept the unassigned event, he Clicks on the instance, and is presented with the Accept or
Reject screen. Again - if he rejects the record, he will not be asked about it the next time he logs in
to the unit. However, in this case, he did forget to log in and will accept the record, and chooses
Accept from the screen below.

with the MDT, then he will press done. The driver may be prompted to certify his ELD record if
assuming a status for a previous day.
