The eLog Mode
As of the 12/16/19, logging the driving history should be performed via the ELD (Electronic Logging
Devices). AOBRD data kept on the servers may be erased due to the switch, which may lead to losing
the data irrevocably. Therefore, we advise you to re-check the data history and email us at
[email protected] if there is any information missing. A paper version of the logbooks scanned
and sent to us would be necessary.

Connected devices
If you are driving with a partner, you may use our application to log your data. However, using two or
more devices at the same time is prohibited (for both single or co-drivers). You would have to log in
to the application using the interface for co-drivers and log both of your work using the same device.
Same as for the single driver. If you would like to use several devices, you would need to do it
carefully. Please do not log out from one device and do not log in to another, until you see that the
Upload Queue in Settings menu is empty. If you are using two devices at the same time, data loss
would be expected.

Status bars
Here are the main buttons you will see on the application screen:
Top left corner three lines - opens sidebar menu with extra features such as DVIR, Settings,
Fuel, Support, Log out;
MD - malfunctions menu (becomes red when the connection is lost or malfunctioning);
Truck - menu to connect to the truck;
Flag - menu to select the country which rules you are following;
Your name - the name of the main driver (if the co-drivers are using the app - shows
the current driver);
Driver and steering wheel icons - menu to log in as a co-driver or swap between co-drivers;
SUMMARY - main menu with your current status and the statuses wheels;

LOG - menu with your graphs and the interface for editing your events (adding a
sleeping/off-duty event, etc.);
INSPECTION - switches the view to driving Summary/Certify Records/Initiate
Data Transfer/View Unidentified Records screen;
Statuses - the main interface where the current status is shown or may be
changed to any other manual one;
HOS calculators - remaining hours for breaks, work, driving, etc. for a shift or the
whole duty cycle.
Changing the statuses to manual may be performed using the Statuses wheels (the ignition should be
ON though so that the truck is not stuck in the driving status). Driving is recorded automatically by
the ELD. If the driving ends, you should stop, wait until the wheels are active, change the status and
only then turn the engine off if needed. Please do not use Logs->Insert event for changing a status, use
the statuses wheels rather.

Malfunctions

Data diagnostic may reveal such types of malfunctioning - Position Malfunctions and Data
Diagnostic , Engine Synchronization, Data recording malfunction, Power Compliance Malfunctions,
Timing Malfunctions, or Data Transfer Malfunctions and Data Diagnostic. Case 1 (P
 osition
Malfunctions) may be only fixed when the ELD device receives the correct GPS data. Case 2 ( Engine
Synchronization) requires the mechanics team to look into the issue with the PT30 and rewire it if
needed. Case 3 (Data recording malfunction) though means that the records in the queue do not reach
the server. In this case, records should be deleted or pushed through again. Case 4 (Power
Compliance Malfunctions) is needed to be resolved by contacting the mechanic or your motor carrier
immediately. Case 5 (Timing Malfunctions) should be auto-resolved, however, in case it is still
happening, contact your motor carried company. In Case 6 (Data Transfer Malfunctions), check the
Internet connection and contact the motor carrier company.

Off Duty - Personal Conveyance

In case you need to use the Personal Conveyance privilege, you need to select the status Off-duty,
the button below will allow you to specify that you are using the Personal Use status. You may add a
comment once you select the status and then save. Once you finish using the PC, you need to click
Clear and enter a comment again if there is a need.

On Duty - Yard Move

In order to add the Yard Move, the driver should perform the following steps:
- switch to On Duty status on the statuses wheels;

- select Yard Move;
- enter a comment if needed and save.
Once the status is no longer in use, the driver has to click Clear, enter new comment, save it and they
will be automatically switched back to the On Duty status.

Getting stuck in driving status
Another issue that may occur is getting stuck in the Driving mode. If you turn off the engine before it
stops - the device does not receive a signal of 0 speed and, thus, does not recognize the end of the
driving event. In this case, you would neither be able to update the status nor proceed to any other
action without ending your driving. Therefore, you need to start the truck again and wait until the
0-speed signal reaches the device. After that, the status wheels will get available again.
