ELD Boot Up/Log-in:
After completing your pre-trip inspection enter your tractor.
Once inside, turn the ignition key on
Turning the ignition key on will also automatically turn the ELD unit on. You should be able to see the ELD booting
up. This process may take a couple minutes. If the ELD is off and does not automatically turn on. Check to see that
the power cable is plugged into the bottom left side of the ELD and then press the power button on the face of the
ELD on the bottom right to power it on
The ELD is ready to use when it's on the login screen.
This is the log-in screen you should see once the ELD powers on. ALWAYS log in before moving the tractor.
If you dont log-in and drive the tractor, you will get a warning on the screen to stop and log in.
Every time you do this, your driving is recorded as unidentified driving and your supervisor may assign it to you later.
Always avoid this by logging in every time.
To Log-In, type in your employee ID and click Log-On
The first screen is a safety agreement that you are required to accept when operating a Labatt ELD.

Edit Request/Unidentified Driving Events:
You will see this screen after accepting the safety agreement. This screen shows all the unclaimed unidentified
driving that happened in the tractor you are driving in the last 7 days.
You can determine whether it was you that created these driving events by the time stamp on the event. If you were
driving that tractor at that time stamp then click accept next to them. It will disappear once you do.
Leave the ones that arent yours and click continue without accepting.
If there are no unidentified driving events on the tractor, you will not see this screen.
If an HOS auditor has made a request to edit your logs or if a supervisor has assigned an unidentified driving event to
you, you will see those requests in this page.
The red line on the graph grid is how your log currently looks. The orange lines show how the proposed edits will
change your log. If you accept the edit requests, the orange line will turn to red and be saved as your log. To accept
an edit request click accept next to it.
If you believe a request was made in error, Click Reject.
When you do accept or reject a request, the request will disappear off the screen.
If there are any requests left after youve accepted and rejected the requests you want to you can click Continue
Without Accepting to skip them for now. You can accept or reject these the next time you log in.
You may see multiple edit request screens if you have edit requests for multiple days. If you dont have any edit
requests you will not see this page.

Uncertified Logs, Pre-Trip & Logging in a Co-Driver:
After the Edit Requests and Unidentified Driving Screens, you will be taken to the oldest log of yours that has not
been certified. The date of the log youre being asked to certify is at the bottom center of the page.
A log may be uncertified if youve never certified it or a change was made after you certified it in the past. To certify it,
click certify and continue. A pop-up asking you if you are sure you want to certify will appear. Click agree in the popup
If you dont want to certify, click Continue without certifying.
After you certify or skip your oldest uncertified log, you will see your next oldest uncertified log and so on until you
have either skipped or certified all of your uncertified logs. If you skip them, you will see them again next time you log
in. If you have no uncertified logs you will not see these screens.
The Next Screen is the Pre-Trip screen. The odometer reading should already be filled in but if not, manually enter it
by clicking on the odometer text box.
And then use the number pad on the right to enter in the odometer reading.
Also manually enter the temperatures of each zone in the trailer using the number pad as well.
Once youve passed all the initial screens, youll see your route screen. To log in a co-driver, click on the menu.
From here, click Log Off/Log In at the top right.
In this page, click Log in next to the add driver column.
Now the co-driver can enter in their employee id and click log-on.
You should now see the co-driver next to the co-driver section.
You will also see the co-drivers name in the menu.
If you and the co-driver switch and they are now the one driving the tractor, click switch roles at the top.
This is incredibly important because if you do not, both you and the co-driver will have incorrect logs. Once you click
switch roles, you will see your name under co-driver, and the other driver will be in the driver field.
