CarrierWeb ELD System Overview
The CarrierWeb CarrierMate ELD system consists of a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) in the
vehicle that communicates via cellular communication to an internet based fleet management
system. The MDT serves both as a tool to maximize fleet operational efficiencies by linking the
driver and truck with back office transportation and fleet management systems as well as an
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) that meets new Federal ELD Mandate requirements. This user
manual is designed to guide drivers in the use of the CarrierMate ELD system in order to
automate their Hours of Service (HOS) driver logs as required under the mandate.

Logging in to the MDT
When you begin your day on the MDT, you will be presented with the green Login screen that
includes the login and password entry fields. This green login screen lets you know that no other
driver is currently logged into this unit. Reminder: A supply of blank driver's records of duty status
graph-grids sufficient to record the driver's duty status and other related information for the duration
of the current trip is required to be in the vehicle at all times.

Note that if you do not receive your available
hours information, it may mean that your unit
cannot communicate with the CarrierWeb
website. View the MDM and GPRS lights on
the MDT and confirm that they are lighted (See
image below). If they are not, move the vehicle
to see if you can to get better reception. If your
unit is unable to communicate, you will not be
able to log in. Contact your manager for further
instructions.

Once youve reviewed your available hours, click the Login button in the lower left hand corner of
the screen. The MDT will begin to download your ELD log history. The Downloading counter
