you sign up as a carrier and are a driver as well, you will need two separate email

New User Account Creation by Driver
Driver Account Creation
If a carrier has already created an account for the driver through
the carrier dashboard, the driver will receive an email with a link
to set their password. Once the password has been set, the
driver can log into the mobile app using their email and new
password.
A driver may also create their account on their own through the
mobile app as shown in the images. However the driver will not
be able to connect and use the ELD until the ELD has been
assigned to a vehicle and the driver has been invited by the
carrier in the carrier dashboard.
When creating an account complete BOTH the user information
and the optional information. This information will be required
to be compliant when logs are inspected. You will always have
the opportunity to modify or add information at a later time in
the app settings.
Note: Allow Location Services when prompted or your ELD
may not function in a compliant manner.
Please note, if you sign up as a carrier and are a driver as well, you will need two separate
email addresses as required by the FMCSA ELD Mandate.
