Overview

Omnitracs Drive will run on certified Android-based devices, including phones and tablets, and
is compatible with Android 7.0 or greater mobile devices.
Omnitracs Drive uses the Bluetooth capability of a mobile device to connect to an Omnitracs
Smart Recorder (SR5) and obtain engine data automatically from the trucks computer.
Data is transferred from the SR5 via Bluetooth to the drivers smartphone, tablet, computer, or
rugged device running Omnitracs Drive. The data is then transferred via hotspot from the SR5
to the Omnitracs One Host website for data collection and analysis.
The result is an easy-to-use dashboard of compliance and fleet optimization data and
scorecards.
Drivers can use Omnitracs Drive to view and update Hours of Service (HOS) logs, record Driver
Vehicle Inspection results, begin and end routes and stops, and perform a variety of other
tasks.
The information automatically collected from the SR5, in addition to any information
provided by the driver, is sent to the Omnitracs One Host website using the SR5s hotspot
which offers a secure carrier network.

The Personal Conveyance special duty status category can be declared to allow off-duty drivers
to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) when they are off-duty. A driver may record time
operating a CMV for personal conveyance as off-duty only when the driver is relieved from
work and all responsibility from performing work for the motor carrier. Omnitracs Drive must be
configured to allow Personal Conveyance for this option to be available.
To declare Personal Conveyance, the vehicle must be powered, you must be Off Duty, and
must be associated to a vehicle.

motor carrier, the Omnitracs Drive screen issues a warning message; however, the duty
status will remain Personal Conveyance
until the driver manually transitions to
another duty status. Additionally, Personal
Conveyance will continue throughout a
complete engine power-cycle. After the
engine is repowered, a message will
prompt the driver for decision to continue
the Personal Conveyance duty status. If
there is no response from the driver and
vehicle motion is detected, the Personal Conveyance status will be terminated, and the
Drive duty status will be automatically selected.

The Unidentified tab displays details about any
unassigned vehicle driving activity that was recorded
on the associated vehicle in the past 7 days or the
current day. This tab is more clearly identified as the
Unidentified Driver Profile. This tab is intended for
use by law enforcement officers when they review
driver logs during an inspection.

The activities (if any) displayed in the Unidentified
Driver Profile are related to the vehicle the
Omnitracs Drive is associated with. Activities with an
Inactive Record Status have been accepted by an
authenticated driver that may not be you. Those with
an Active Record Status remain unassigned.

A blank Unidentified tab means there are no
unidentified vehicle movements assigned to the
Unidentified Driver Profile for that day.

Reviewing Motor Carrier Edits

If the motor carrier suggests edits to your log from the Omnitracs One Host website (for
example, Unassigned Vehicle Activity or carrier initiated ELD exemptions), you must confirm or
reject each edit.
Drivers are notified of suggested motor carrier edits once they have logged into Omnitracs
Drive, associated to a vehicle, and changed their status to On Duty. If edits arrive while the
vehicle is in motion, the driver will be notified as soon as the vehicle is stationary.
If there are team drivers, the co-driver will be notified of any carrier edits immediately, even if the
vehicle is in motion. The driver will be notified once the vehicle is stationary.
To confirm motor carrier edits:
1. Log into Omnitracs Drive, associate with a vehicle and

change your status to On Duty. If motor carrier edits
are present, you will receive a message telling you
that the motor carrier has suggested edits to your
log and that you must confirm or reject the edits
before you can continue.

2. Select OK. The Review Carrier Edits screen
appears, showing the edits suggested by the motor
carrier.
3. Review each edit and select Confirm or Reject. If
you reject a suggested edit, you will be required to
include a comment that explains the reason for
rejecting the edit.
4. When you have confirmed or rejected all
suggested edits, select Save. The changes are
incorporated into your log, and you return to
Omnitracs One Drive.

Unassigned Vehicle Activity

If you associate to a vehicle equipped with an SR5 within
eight days of unassigned vehicle activity being created
with that same vehicle, Omnitracs Drive must display
unassigned driving segments that have been stored on the
SR5 within those eight days. You can view these activities
when you open your HOS Log screen and view the
Unidentified tab.
Unassigned vehicle activity (UVA) not previously reviewed
by an authenticated driver is presented to the next
authenticated driver on Omnitracs Drive when associated
with the vehicle.
If you reject the UVA, it is sent back to the motor carrier,
where it can be assigned to another driver. When an
Omnitracs One Host user assigns UVA to a driver, it is sent
to the assigned driver as a suggested edit to their log,
which they will then have to confirm or reject.
When you receive notification of UVA:
1. Select OK to review activity on the notification window. The Review Unassigned Driving

Events screen appears, displaying all UVA created using the vehicle since the last
authenticated driver was associated with the vehicle.
2. Select Confirm or Reject for each UVA event. Select the View Graph button if you want to

see how the UVA would fit into your existing log.
3. When you are finished, select Save to add any confirmed UVA event(s) to your log. You are

returned to the HOS Log screen and can see that the drive time formally associated with
the confirmed UVA has now been added to your log.
All UVAs created using the associated vehicle during the previous 8 days will be displayed on
the Unidentified tab. Activities with an Inactive Record Status have been accepted by an
authenticated driver (may not be you). Those with an Active Record Status remain
unassigned. Having the information on a separate tab makes it easier for law enforcement
officials to view UVA when they are inspecting logs.

Diagnostic and Malfunction Alerts

The SR5 records and stores relevant diagnostic and malfunction events and alerts the driver
when a diagnostic or malfunction event occurs. The SR5 detects and records diagnostic and
malfunction events for a minimum of eight days.
Omnitracs Drive includes features that enable you to monitor diagnostics and malfunctions.
The SR5 also immediately sends a notification to the motor carrier, viewable on the Omnitracs
One website, that a malfunction has occurred.
When an ELD malfunction is detected or an ELD diagnostic fails, Omnitracs Drive displays a
red X (for malfunction) or orange exclamation point (for diagnostic) indicator on various
dashboards of Omnitracs Drive.

Depending on the nature of the diagnostic or malfunction event, the HOS Status values may
change as well. You can select the indicator to open the Diagnostics and Malfunction screen,
which lists any diagnostic or malfunction events that have been detected since login.

Paper Log Mode

Paper Log Mode (PLM) is triggered by any ELD Compliance Malfunction that is logged while
the Omnitracs Drive is associated to a vehicle. When PLM is triggered, Omnitracs Drive
immediately enters Paper Log Mode.
When Paper Log Mode starts, you receive a message saying, There is an active ELD
malfunction. You must keep paper logs until the malfunction clears.

Select OK. When you return to the Omnitracs Drive Dashboard, the values in the HOS Panel all
read NA.
Note: While in Paper Log Mode, you must be able to produce records of duty status for the
current day plus the seven previous days. This may require you to recreate each of the 8 days
using paper logs.
When the malfunction that triggered the PLM has cleared, you are taken out of Paper Log
Mode. You receive a message saying, ELD malfunction has cleared. You may resume use of
the ELD as your Record of Duty Status. Select OK to return to the Omnitracs Drive
Dashboard.
Drivers need to continue using Omnitracs Drive to record hours of service even if a malfunction
is active, per the FMCSA, as long as the malfunction does not interfere with the accurate
recording of the drivers HOS data. To support this requirement, the following malfunctions will
no longer cause Omnitracs Drive to switch to Paper Log Mode and drivers will not be
prompted to keep paper records:
Power Compliance Malfunction
Position Compliance Malfunction
Data Transfer Malfunction
For Engine Sync malfunctions, Omnitracs Drive will not enter Paper Log Mode, but drivers will
receive a message advising them to review all duty status records and either continue to use
the ELD if the records are accurate or reconstruct the records if they are not accurate. The
behavior of other malfunctions has not changed.
