Q: What does it mean if driving time left is N/A?
A: N/A means that the logging device cannot calculate Available
Drive Time due to insufficient data. Review all records of
duty status, including paper logs, to determine your actual
driving time left.

Q: What is the difference between Work Shift rules and Daily
rules?
A: Work Shift rules restrict the on duty time that a driver may
accumulate from the moment the driver reports to duty to the
moment he or she is released from duty. Work Shift calculations
do not reset until the driver has accumulated the minimum consecutive off duty time required by the applicable US or Canadian
hours of service regulations.
Canada has additional rules, called Daily rules, which restrict the
on duty time a driver may accumulate from the start of one 24hour log period to the start of the next and establish mandatory
minimums for the total off duty time a driver must accumulate
within a log period. Daily calculations automatically reset at the
beginning of each log day.
Q: Why do my driving time details sometimes show Salesperson
instead of Cycle Duty?
A: If you are operating in the US as a driver salesperson1, the typical cycle duty limit does not apply toward your driving time left
so long as you do not exceed 40 hours Driving in any period of
7 consecutive days 2. The Salesperson value shows how long you
may continue to drive under this driver salesperson exception.
See US 49 CFR 395.2 2See US 49 CFR 395.1(c)

server cannot be reached, you will receive an error message and
must reestablish communications before signing in. If you have
recently signed in to this device, a Stop button will appear after
60 seconds, allowing you to continue signing in without reaching
the server.
Q: I received a message that there are proposed edits and/or
uncertified logs that need to be reviewed on the Trimble eDriver
Logs website. What do I do?
A: You will need to sign in to the Driver Portal to complete these
actions, as they are required on logs older than can be accessed
on the device.
If you are configured to operate commercial vehicles in both the
United States and Canada, you may preview your driving time left for
either country before completing the sign in process. For more information see Selecting Countries, page .

INITIAL STATUS
After previewing availability, tap Status and then choose the button
that best represents your initial duty status. See the Change Status
section for a complete list of buttons and corresponding duty statuses.

You will be required to enter an annotation (comment) when selecting
Yard Moves (ON YM) or Personal Conveyance (OFF PC). See Change
Status for more information about these options.
If you are the first driver to sign in during your work shift, the device
will prompt you to confirm the vehicle ID. If the vehicle ID has changed
or is not correct, tap the pencil icon and enter or update the vehicle
ID. If the vehicle ID displayed is correct, or you are finished entering
the ID, tap OK. Please take caution when updating your vehicle ID to
validate that the vehicle ID matches the one used by your carrier.
You may be prompted to enter your location if GPS data is not available. See Location Data Entry.
Q: I dont see a Driving button. How do I record when I am driving
the vehicle?
A: When you tap ON Driver, you are indicating that you are on
duty and preparing to operate the vehicle. The logging device will
detect when the vehicle is moving and record the correct duty
status for you based on the movement of the vehicle. See the
details below.

Q: I dont have a co-driver. Do I still need to tap the On Duty (Driver) button before I operate the vehicle?
A: Yes. The logging device uses this information not only to maintain accurate driver logs but also for other record keeping, such
as determining when driver vehicle inspection reports need to be
created or reviewed. See Driver Vehicle Inspection.

STATUS CHANGE
Starting from the Driver Overview screen, tap Status and then choose
the option that best describes your current activity.
These options are available for all drivers:
Choose this when you are on duty and taking control of
the vehicle. The logging device will detect when the vehicle is moving and automatically record your activity as D
(Line 3) when the vehicle is moving and ON (Line 4) when
the vehicle is stopped. No other driver may take control
of the vehicle until you choose a different status, start a
Rest Break, or sign out.

Choose this if you are on duty but not in control of the
vehicle. This will record your activity as ON (Line 4). If no
one has taken control of the vehicle, the automatic motion detection system will continue to track vehicle movements and report them as Unidentified Driver events.

Choose this when you are beginning a period of rest in
the vehicles sleeper berth. This will record your activity
as SB (Line 2).

Choose this when you are relieved of duty and are signing out of the logging device. This will record your activity
as OFF (Line 1). To record your status as off duty without
signing out of the logging device, see Rest Break.

These additional options may be available if enabled by your carrier:

Choose this if you are relieved from all responsibility for
performing work and taking control of the vehicle for
your own personal use. This will record your activity as
Authorized Personal Use of CMV (PC) (OFF, Line 1).

Choose this if you are moving your vehicle inside your
carriers yard. This will record your activity as Yard Moves
(YM) (ON, Line 4).

REST BREAK
The Rest Break feature is used for recording off duty activity during
the work shift. Drivers who use this feature remain signed in to the application, thereby avoiding the screen prompts associated with signing
out of a logging device and signing back in again.

WARNING: Drivers should only use this feature if they will return to duty
in the same vehicle before the end of the work shift.

To begin a rest break, tap the Rest Break button in the upper right of
the driver overview screen and confirm that you want to start a break
now. This will record your activity as Off Duty (Line 1) without signing
you out of the application.

The application will determine the minimum rest necessary to improve
driving time, and show this value as Gain Time At. When the required
rest break time is fulfilled, Gain Time At and Available Drive Time
will be recalculated.
To end a rest break, tap the red Stop Break
button in the upper right to display the Status
screen.
Choose ON Driver if you are returning to duty
and will be operating the vehicle or ON Not
Driver if you are the co-driver. Choose SB if you
will continue resting in the vehicles sleeper berth before returning to
duty. Choosing any button other than OFF Sign Out will return to the
Driver Overview screen and cause Gain Time At and Available Drive
Time to be recalculated.
When you are finished using the vehicle, dont use the Rest Break
feature. Instead, choose OFF Sign Out from the Status screen. This
will begin the sign out process and trigger a post-trip driver vehicle
inspection (if applicable).

ADD REMOVE RESOURCES
If you are the first driver to sign in during your work shift, you may be
asked to review the trailers and shipments added by a previous driver,
and remove or add new resources.
Tap Remove to remove the selected resource shown on the left
without recording it on your log. To add a shipment, enter the ID in the
Shipment ID field on the right and then tap Add. You may also add or

Tap Remove to remove the selected resource shown on the left
without recording it on your log. To add a shipment, enter the ID in the
Shipment ID field on the right and then tap Add. You may also add or
remove resources after you are signed in. See Resources. Tap Next
to Kepp all resources shown. This will record these resources, if an, on
your current driver log.

CO-DRIVER LOGIN
Tap + Driver to allow a co-driver to sign in.

Tap on the line that says Enter Driver ID, then use the on-screen keyboard to enter the Driver ID. Tap Next on the keyboard to move to the
password line. Type your driver password. Then tap the Done button
on the keyboard.
The co-driver will be logged into the System and will need to tap either Cancel if
they logged in by error or Status. Cancel
will return the screen to the previous
driver. Chooseing a Status will take them
to the Shipments screen where they can
continue with the current shipment or add additional shipments. This
will activate the co-driver on the ELD screen. To select the previous
driver, tap the Driver Card, this will toggle the driver information on
the ELD screen.

TRAILERS
From the Driver Overview screen, tap the Trailers button.
To add a trailer to the list, enter the trailer ID and then tap Add (or
Enter on the keyboard). This will add the trailer as a current resource
and also record this information on the current days log for each driver who is signed in. To drop trailers, tap on one or more checkboxes in
the list on the left, and then tap Remove. Tap on Home to return to
the Driver Overview.
15

SHIPMENTS
From the Driver Overview screen, tap the Shipments button.
To add a shipment to the list, enter the shipping document number (if
applicable) or the shipper name and commodity name, and then tap
Add. This will add the shipment as a current resource and also record
this information on the current days log for each driver who is signed
in. To drop a shipment, tap on it once to highlight it in the list, and
then tap Remove.

TIP: If adding multiple shipments bound for separate destinations, add
them one at a time so that each is listed on a separate line. This will allow
you to remove individual shipments at each stop, so that the shipment list
always reflects your current load.

MANUAL LOCATION DATA ENTRY
The logging device uses GPS to determine the vehicles location at the
time of each duty status change and driver vehicle inspection. If valid
coordinates cannot be obtained from GPS, you will be prompted to
enter the location. GPS entry consists of the following fields:

Type

Choose from City/State, Intersecting Highways, Highway/Mile post or Highway/Service Plaza.

Name

(Optional) Enter the customer name or landmark
where the status change or inspection took place.
This name will appear in the Events view of your
driver logs to provide additional context for your
activities. See View Logs.

City

Enter the name of the city. If outside city limits, enter
the name of the nearest city, town or other population center.

State/Province

Select the state, province, or territory.

If GPS coordinates are not available when the automatic motion detection system records a status change, the driver will need to enter the
location of that change after the vehicle stops moving.
If there is a red flag over the Options button, tap on it and then tap Missing Data.
This will display the location data entry screen, where you should verify the date (month/day/year) and time at the top of the screen for each
duty status change before entering the location where that change
occurred. Enter an annotation to document the change.

COUNTRY SELECTION
If you are configured to operate commercial vehicles in both the
United States and Canada, you may preview your driving time left for
either country before completing the sign in process. Tap the flag icon
to select your country setting. All screens, including Driver Overview,
View Logs, and Vehicle Motion, will update to show your hours of
service information for the selected country.

DRIVER VEHICLE INSPECTION

REQUEST DVIR
After selecting the ON Driver button or adding a trailer to the vehicle
combination, verify the ID of the resource that you are using, and then
tap Request DVIR.

The ELD will request the most recent driver vehicle inspection report
and refresh this screen when a response is received. Fill in any empty
boxes and tap Next.
Q: Ive been waiting a long time without receiving the most recent
report. What should I do?
A: If you have waited at least 60 seconds, tap Stop to continue
the inspection process without a response from the web server.
If a previous un-reviewed report is already stored on the logging
device, it will be presented for you to review. If not, perform your
own inspection and create a new DVIR listing any defects you
find.

REVIEW & SUBMIT
If a previous report is presented for you to review, use the arrow
buttons to scroll through the report and review all the information
provided. See View DVIR.
If any defects are listed, verify that a statement is present certifying
that the defects were repaired or that repair is not needed. Be sure
to review all defects for each resource in the current vehicle combination. When you are done with the review, tap Next to show the
acknowledgment screen.

Tap Yes if you are satisfied with the vehicles condition, otherwise tap
No. If any unresolved defects were listed on the report, you will also
need to select Complete or Not Needed for Repair Status. Tap Done
to submit the report.

SELECT RESOURCE
When it is time to create a driver vehicle inspection report, a list of
resources subject to inspection will be shown. Tap once on a resource
to highlight it and then choose the appropriate button.

No Defects

Choose this to report that the resource is free of
defect or deficiency.

Add Defects

Choose this to note one or more defects for the
resource.

A resource ID shown in blue and having a message of No Defects or
Defects Added on the right indicates that you have completed a DVIR
for that resource during the current inspection process, or that an
unrepaired defect has been carried over from a previous report. You
must complete a DVIR for all resources in the list to move to the next
screen. See Carry Over Defects.
US 49 CFR 396.11 requires a report to be prepared at the completion of each days work on each

vehicle operated; CA NSC Standard 13 requires a report to be completed once every 24 hours.

SELECT PARTS & DEFECT
When you tap Add Defects or Edit Defects, a list of parts will be
shown for the selected resource. Tap once on a part to highlight it,
and then select one or more defects from the list on the right. All defect lists will include an option for Other, where you can type in your
own description.

Repeat this process for each defective part. Tap Done to return to the
Select Resource screen. After inspecting all resources, tap Finish
if there are no defects to report, or tap Next to show the Review &
Submit screen.

TIP: Part names and defect descriptions are specific to the type of resources (vehicle or trailer) currently selected for inspection. Both lists can be
customized by your carrier.

CARRY OVER DEFECT
In some cases, the previous DVIR for an asset may include a defect
that was certified as Repairs Not Necessary. This suggests that the
defect or deficiency may still exist, but that repair is not required in
order for the vehicle to be operated safely.
The logging device will carry over such defects to the next driver
vehicle inspection report. You will be notified when beginning a new
inspection report if the previous report has such defects. You may
add to or edit these defects as needed before submitting your new
inspection report.

TRAILERS
If the DVIR feature is enabled, you will be prompted to create a DVIR
when you remove a trailer, or review the most recent DVIR when you
add a trailer. See Driver Vehicle Inspection.

REVIEW PREVIOUS INSPECTION
If the DVIR feature is enabled and you are the driver of the vehicle, you
will be prompted to review the most recent driver vehicle inspection
report for each resource in the current vehicle combination. If a trailer
was removed during sign in, you will be prompted to create a driver
vehicle inspection report for each trailer removed. See Driver Vehicle Inspection.
The Driver Overview screen will be shown when the sign in process
is complete.

NOTE: Always review your logs before operating the vehicle to
ensure that all information is true and correct. You are responsible for ensuring that all records required to be in your possession1
are available in electronic and/or paper format.

DIAGNOSTICS
This option allows you to view identification information about the
device, as well as a general system health check. Tap and hold on System Check to view system details.

REVIEW LOGS
This option is visible if you have uncertified logs or if a non-driver host
user has proposed an edit to your log that requires your attention.
Tapping this option will take you to the log(s) requiring review. See
Certify and Accept / Reject for more details.

MISSING DATA
This option allows you to back-fill information for duty status changes that have been recorded in the past. This option is visible only if
required information (most typically the vehicles location) was not
available when the duty status change was recorded. See Location
Data Entry.

UNIDENTIFIED DRIVER
This option allows you to add driving events to your log that were recorded while no driver was signed in to the device. Unidentified driver
events are recorded any time the vehicle is moved without a driver
signed in, or if a driver is signed in but is not in ON Driver, YM, or PC
status. To avoid these events, always make sure to properly sign in to the
device before moving the vehicle.
Tapping this option will take you to the log date with the unidentified
driver event(s). Once you have reviewed the event details, tap the
event and then tap Accept or Reject to either add the event to your
log or discard it. Rejecting the event will remove it from your view on
the device. Other drivers and non-driver host users will still have the
ability to view and accept or assign the event.
When you Accept an unidentified driver event, it is added to your
log and your Available Drive Time is recalculated accordingly.
The system automatically places in you in an ON Not Driver status
following the unidentified driver event. Both the unidentified driver
and following On Duty event will appear on your log with an Origin of
Unidentified Driver.
Q: What if I Reject an Unidentified Driver event by mistake?
A: Rejecting the event permanently removes it from your view on
the device. Contact your carrier to have them assign the event to
you as a proposed edit from the host. You will first need to certify
your log before the non-driver host user can propose an edit.
Q: What if I Accept an Unidentified Driver event by mistake?
A: If the driver who should have accepted the event is your
co-driver, you can reassign the event to them. Tap on the driving
event and tap Reassign. Enter your password when prompted,
select the co-driver from the list, enter a comment, and click
Reassign. Your co-driver must then enter their password to
approve the change. The driving event will be removed from your
log and added to your co-drivers log, and Available Drive Time
will be recalculated.
