select personal use and insert a comment. To indicate Yard Moves of the vehicle the status must be OnDuty not driving, and that gives you the option to select Yard Moves and add a comment.

iii) Automatic Duty Status Changes
The standard operating procedure is to have the driver manually change their duty status. Whether that
be from Off-Duty to On-Duty not driving in the morning when they first get to work, On-Duty not
driving to Driving when they start their run, or Driving to On-Duty Not Driving when they arrive at
a stop location.
There are automatic duty status changes that can take place if a driver forgets to manually change their
Duty Status. For example, if a driver arrives at a stop and forgets to change their duty status from
Driving to On-Duty Not Driving The Hours of Service System will automatically change the status for
them. This is a backup measure and the drivers should always try to changed their status manually to
assure accuracy.
