Hours of Service Compliance
To be compliant with hours of service regulations, you must add your company information to the Fleet Management
Application. In the Fleet Management Application, go to Administration > System > System Settings. Fill in the
Company name and Company address fields, then set the Maximum personal conveyance distance.
The personal conveyance distance determines the maximum distance that a driver can drive under the Personal
Conveyance exemption. Exceeding this distance will disable the exemption and place the driver in the Driving duty
status.
