Introduction
The Drive App is a mobile application for maintaining Hours of Service compliance. The App is available for
Android and iOS devices. As part of the greater Cloud ELD solution, the Drive App (running on a compatible mobile
device), is used together with a Telematics Device  a type of Electronic Logging Device (ELD)  and the Fleet
Management Application, to provide end-to-end compliance with federal regulations for motor carriers.
The Drive App has four main features:


Hours of Service (HOS)



Asset Inspection



Messaging



Software Add-Ins

The Drive App is available with the Regulatory, Pro, and ProPlus rate plans.
The Drive App also has self-help buttons on each page that allows users to watch support videos for the Drive
App, search the Knowledge Base, and view guided workflows while remaining in the app.
 NOTE: The self-help buttons are only available on the web version of the Drive App, and Drive App version
6.0 or newer.

Make sure every driver has a copy of the Drivers Guide to the Drive App, the Drivers Guide to Data
Transfer at Roadside Checks, and the Drivers Guide to Data Diagnostics & Malfunction Events;



Make sure every new driver has reviewed the Driver's Guide to Hours of Service (HOS) and Drivers Guide
to Asset Inspection.

! IMPORTANT: The Drivers Guide to the Drive App, the Drivers Guide to Data Transfer at Roadside Checks,
and the Drivers Guide to Data Diagnostics & Malfunction Events must be kept in the CMV at all times. For
drivers in the USA, these documents must be made available during a roadside check in accordance with
FMCSA 49 CFR 395.22 (h). In addition, drivers must have a supply of blank Records of Duty Status (RODS)
paper logs sufficient to record the drivers duty status and other related information for the duration of the
current trip. Maintain a second backup copy of the electronic hours-of-service files, by month, at a different
physical location from where the original data is stored  FMCSA 49 CFR  395.22(i).
