Boot Up / Log In
After completing your pre-trip inspection, enter your tractor.
The ELD unit should always be on. If the ELD is off check to see that the power cable is plugged
into the bottom left side of the ELD and then press the power button on the top edge of the ELD
to power it on.
The ELD is ready to use when it's on the login screen. ALWAYS log in before moving the tractor.
If you dont log-in and drive the tractor, you will get a warning on the screen to stop and log in.
Every time you do this, your driving is recorded as unidentified driving and your supervisor may
assign it to you later.
Always avoid this by logging in every time.
To Log-In, type in your employee ID and click Log-On
The first screen is a safety agreement that you are required to accept when operating a Labatt
ELD.

Edit Request / Unidentified Driving Events
You will see this screen after accepting the safety agreement. This screen shows all the
unclaimed unidentified driving that happened in the tractor you are driving in the last 7 days.
You can determine whether it was you that created these driving events by the time stamp on
the event. If you were driving that tractor at that time stamp then click accept next to them. It will
disappear once you do.
Leave the ones that arent yours and click continue without accepting.
If there are no unidentified driving events on the tractor, you will not see this screen.
If an HOS auditor has made a request to edit your logs or if a supervisor has assigned an
unidentified driving event to you, you will see those requests in this page.
The red line on the graph grid is how your log currently looks. The orange lines show how the
proposed edits will change your log. If you accept the edit requests, the orange line will turn to
red and be saved as your log. To accept an edit request click accept next to it.
If you believe a request was made in error, Click Reject.

When you do accept or reject a request, the request will disappear off the screen.
If there are any requests left after youve accepted and rejected the requests you want to you
can click Continue
Without Accepting to skip them for now. You can accept or reject these the next time you log in.
You may see multiple edit request screens if you have edit requests for multiple days. If you
dont have any edit requests you will not see this page

Uncertified Logs, Pre-Trip & Logging in a Co-Driver
After the Edit Requests and Unidentified Driving Screens, you will be taken to the oldest log of
yours that has not been certified. The date of the log youre being asked to certify is at the
bottom center of the page.
A log may be uncertified if youve never certified it or a change was made after you certified it in
the past. To certify it, click certify and continue. A pop-up asking you if you are sure you want to
certify will appear. Click agree in the popup.
If you dont want to certify, click Continue without certifying.
After you certify or skip your oldest uncertified log, you will see your next oldest uncertified log
and so on until you have either skipped or certified all of your uncertified logs. If you skip them,
you will see them again next time you log in. If you have no uncertified logs you will not see
these screens.
The Next Screen is the Pre-Trip screen. The odometer reading should already be filled in but if
not, manually enter it by clicking on the odometer text box.
And then use the number pad on the right to enter in the odometer reading.
Also manually enter the temperatures of each zone in the trailer using the number pad as well.
Once youve passed all the initial screens, youll see your route screen. To log a co-driver in,
click on the menu.
From here, click Log Off/Log In at the top right.
In this page, click Log in next to the add driver column.
Now the co-driver can enter in their employee id and click log-on.

You should now see the co-driver next to the co-driver section.
You will also see the co-drivers name in the menu.
If you and the co-driver switch roles and they are now the one driving the tractor, click switch
roles at the top.
This is incredibly important because if you do not, both you and the co-driver will have incorrect
logs. Once you click switch roles, you will see your name under co-driver, and the other driver
will be in the driver field.

Changing Duty Status
There are 4 Duty Statuses you can be in. Driving, On-Duty Not Driving, Sleeper Berth and
Off-Duty.
There are three ways to be switched to driving mode. The first is if you are logged into the ELD
and simply begin driving, the ELD will automatically switch your status to driving.
The second is if you are in the route screen and click Driving on any of the stops.
The third way is if you go to the HOS menu and select driving there.
There are also 3 ways to go to On-Duty Not Driving Mode. The first way is if you click On-Duty
Not Driving in the map when you arrive at a stop.
The ELD will ask you if you have arrived.
Click arrive and the ELD will take you to the Stop Details page and put you On-Duty Not
Driving
The second way is if you click On-Duty Not Driving in the HOS menu. You should use this
method when you are stopped but not at a customers location.
The third way is if you are in driving mode and you stop the tractor and havent driven in 5
minutes, the ELD will ask you if you are still driving. If you arent, click on-duty not driving. If you
ignore it, it will automatically put you on-duty not driving after 1 more minute.
To go off-duty through the ELD, you will first need to be on-duty not driving for 5 minutes before
you can click it from the HOS menu. This button can be used to take a required 30 minute break
if needed.
If you are going to sleep in the tractor for a 2-day route, go to the HOS menu and click sleeper
berth.

Viewing and Making Edits to your Logs
In the HOS menu you can access your last 7 days logs. The View Graph screen will show you
the header and graph grid version of your log.
You can navigate through the date using the buttons at the top.
You can even certify a log here by clicking the certify button.
If the certify button is grayed out and says certified instead of certify, it has already been
certified.
To go back to the HOS menu click the back arrow at the top left.
To edit one of your last 7 days logs, click View Events.
This screen shows your graph grid at the top and the event log at the bottom. The event log is
simply all of the events on your log and the graph grid are those events in a graph format. You
can scroll up and down on the event log to see all the events of that day by swiping up or down
in the event log area. You can use the buttons to navigate through the last 7 days.
To edit, click edit by one of your events.The event will become editable.
To edit a detail, click the textbox you wish to edit then use the keyboard to make a change.
The duty status is a drop down menu.
After any edit, you will need to write an annotation before you can save it. Briefly explain the
reason for your edit here.
Once done, click save.
For events that you can only annotate, they will say annotate instead of edit. Click on it.
A pop-up will appear for an annotation. Type your annotation and then click accept.
Once done, click Accept
You can also add a missing event with the Add event button at the top right.
Enter in each detail of the event you wish to add at the top.

The HOS menu also has some other features you may need on your route. If you need to
change your trailer number or route number if you swapped trailers with someone for instance,
you can click Edit Vehicle number and Route number.

Sending Logs to FMCSA or Enforcement Officer
If a police officer asks you to send them your last 7 days logs. First navigate to the HOS menu.
Then click Send logs to police.
The officer will tell you if he wants the logs through the web service or email. Click the one he
asks for.
The officer will also tell you a routing number that you will type in the comment section. Click the
comment section then type in the routing number with the keyboard.
After you type the routing number. Click Send, the ELD will tell you if it was successful.

Post Trip
When you finish your route and arrive back at the depot, the ELD will actually prompt you to
stop the tractor and switch to yard moves if you begin driving without doing so.
Yard Moves is a special status under On-Duty Not Driving that allows you to be in on-duty not
driving mode even while you are driving the tractor but only while at a Labatt depot. To do this,
first switch your duty status to On-duty Not Driving and then select Yard Moves
When you click Yard Moves there will be an annotation pop-up with the word yard prefilled.
Then click accept in the pop-up.
While you are in any Labatt property you want to stay in the Yard Moves Status so that the
driving you do inside the yard, such as driving to the Fuel Island and wash bay, isnt counted
toward your driving time. You can only use Yard Moves while on a Labatt yard. If you leave a
Labatt yard on Yard Moves you will automatically be switched to driving.
After you have finished all your post trip duties such as fueling up and washing the trailer, you
will park the tractor in the yard. Before leaving the tractor, click Finish Route on the menu
screen. This button normally says Log Off/Log in but will say Finish route when youre back at
the Labatt depot after completing a route.
You will then be taken to the Post Trip Screen.
If the Ending Miles arent automatically entered, enter them yourself using the keypad to the
route and then click Finish Route.

8

Once you click finish route, wait for the ELD to upload all your HOS data. There is a loading bar
that shows this. This may take a few minutes.
Once its done, it will say you have successfully logged off.
You can now turn the tractor's ignition switch off and make sure NOT to unplug or turn off the
ELD.

Malfunction Reporting Instruction Sheet
The following instructions are in accordance with the guidelines set forth in 395.34

Malfunction
If the ELD is malfunctioning, there will be a red Malfunction button in the bottom left corner of
the screen.
In your graph-grid paper logs, you will need to reconstruct the current 24-hour periods logs and
the last 7 days logs unless you can still retrieve those logs from the ELD.
You will need to record the remainder of the days logs on graph-grid paper logs until the ELD is
back in compliance.
When the ELD has a malfunction, report it in your DVIR form.
This also applies if the ELD freezes or will not turn on.

Diagnostic
If the ELD has a data diagnostic issue there will be an orange Diagnostic button in the bottom
left corner of the screen.
You do not need to switch to paper logs in this case or report it in your DVIR.
This happens if:
-

There are any unidentified driver events that no one has accepted. (Diagnostic will
disappear when someone claims those events.)

-

If the ELD is unable to pull odometer readings from the tractor. ( Diagnostic will
disappear if it regains the ability to read the odometer.)

-

If the ELD was unable to get location for a previous event. (To remove the Diagnostic,
you will have to manually enter the location through the Event Log on the event that the
location was missing.
