Coretex DRIVE: ELD Driver Guide

Coretex ELD solution
The ELD mandate in North America comes into effect in December 2017. With a small number of
exceptions, all transport companies and drivers must comply with the new regulations or face
prosecution.
Organizations can choose to see ELD as a tax and attempt to minimize the cost, or they can see it as
an opportunity to drive competitive advantages.
Coretex has built its ELD solution from the ground-up and created one of the few fully integrated
solutions on the market today. For organizations that want a fully featured, fully integrated ELD
solution Coretex is best in class!
Coretex ELD is tightly integrated with the Coretex 360 application suite. The easy-to-use interface has
been developed in partnership with a number of large fleet operators in North America.
Coretex ELD supports:





all North America driver rulesets, including interstate rules
team, exempt and short haul drivers
permanent and temporary vehicles installations
ELD compliance for rental vehicles
The Coretex ELD solution is in full compliance with requirements defined by the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA).

ELD functionality

For drivers
The Coretex ELD solution allows drivers to:
 set their driver duty status during a trip and interact
with co-drivers
 process information cards on their Coretex DRIVE
dashboard for dealing with tasks like Vehicle
Inspections (DVIR) and Shipment number entry
 display/edit their daily driver logs and the vehicles
unidentified driving records
 certify their daily logs
 deal with Data Diagnostic/Malfunction events
 review and accept/reject edits proposed by their supervisor
 allow a Roadside Inspection to be performed on their tablet, and for uploads of driver log data to
FMCSA
For drivers, compliance couldnt be easier  all they need to do is log in at the beginning of the day, even
outside cellular coverage. They can also view availability in multiple rule sets prior to log in.
Full details of use of the Coretex ELD solution with Coretex DRIVE for drivers and users can be found in:
 Coretex DRIVE: ELD Driver Guide

Driver Guide

Coretex DRIVE: ELD Driver Guide

For Supervisors/Administrators
The Coretex ELD solution allows a
supervisor/administrator to:
 review the daily logs of all drivers under their
administration
 propose edits to drivers daily logs and unidentified
driving records to be sent down to a drivers tablet for
them to consider
 configure drivers for ELD via Driver Manager
 upload drivers log data to FMCSA
 analyze drivers daily logs with a suite of Driver Hours
reports

Dispatchers or supervisors/administrators can readily track and manage compliance in Coretex 360
via a dashboard which offers easy access to driver availability data, and interactive graph and multiedit features for easy log editing.
Coretex ELD: its your path to increased efficiency, slashing paperwork for drivers by up to 63 percent
and for office staff by 14 percent. Manual logging is so yesterday!
Access to ELD functionality is determined by account and within that a hierarchy of carrier, divisions and
terminals  at least one carrier and division must be setup and a driver/user assigned to that division to
allow that driver access.

turn-by-turn trucking navigation, messaging, jobs, vehicle inspections (DVIR), checklists, fatigue
information, the Coretex ELD solution, real time driver feedback as well as your choice of custom
applications.
Coretex DRIVE makes it easy to roll out Android-based mobile apps to drivers quickly and securely; and
is optimized to run on Coretex-supplied Samsung and TomTom Bridge tablets.
With Coretex DRIVE the user interface is the tablet used by the driver of the vehicle and functionality is
integrated into a backend Coretex system (e.g. Coretex 360).
 Coretex DRIVE features:
 integrates all your apps in one place on one screen in an easy-to-use format for drivers -- the
driver sees important information on a single screen (via Information Cards)
 links any third party applications, such as email or Google Maps
 features single sign-on for integrated applications
 displays driver messages, directed job workflows, driver initiated forms, Electronic Logging
Devices (ELD functionality), Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) and much more

Safety Lockdown
The Coretex DRIVE application on your tablet is designed to operate when the vehicle is stationary. This is
for safety concerns to help ensure the driver is just driving!
The tablet is a mobile device and, as with a mobile phone, should not be used by the driver in charge of
the vehicle while driving.
If you have been using Coretex DRIVE and you start to drive the vehicle:
 an automatic sensor on the tablet will
detect this and present a lockdown
screen
 when the vehicle stops, the application
returns to the previous screen that was
active
Motion sensor is tied to the TMU in the vehicle (if connected to a TMU) and any vehicle motion will
trigger it. If not connected to a TMU, motion is determined from the tablet motion and GPS readings.

Co-driver usage
Any co-drivers that are signed in to Coretex DRIVE are allowed to use the application whilst the
vehicle is in motion (because they are not in charge of driving the vehicle).
When the driver is about to start driving they can hand the tablet over to a co-driver and if the
vehicle is moving the lockdown screen will be active. The co-driver can tap on the padlock icon
and enter their PIN ID to unlock the screen.
A co-driver can use the application with the following restrictions:
 a driver duty status can not be changed, and the
dashboard will display a VEHICLE IN MOTION
status

Adding a status log entry
If your logs for a particular day are missing one or more entries (to cover a specific time period) then
you can add these events from your Driver Logs Edit screen. You may need to do this for a different
vehicle than for the one you are driving today.
Adding a new log entry for a change in driver status is the only ELD event you can create.

From your Driver Logs Edit Listing screen:
 tap ADD STATUS
You need to specify the start of the
period of time when the driving event
occurred.
You are prompted with a time selection
control that defaults to show the
current time.

Any time in the day that is already lodged against driving time (i.e. time when driver in charge was in
duty status Driving) will be disabled on the entry field. All fields that are greyed out are ones that
can not be edited.

Setting the start time of the event
You need to specify the start time of the event when you changed your driver duty status. A clock
control is used as a quick way to easily select the HH:MM of the start of the event. It defaults to
todays current time and date.
In most cases you will be wanting to add a log entry for a previous days trip  hence, ensure you
have set the correct date on the Driver Log View screen before drilling down to add a new status log
entry.

Email Logs
Drivers can access and print their own daily logs from the DRIVER PORTAL within Coretex 360.
However, it is useful for drivers to be able to directly access a trail of their daily logs by having them sent
directly from their tablet to their email InBox for further review.
To email your daily driver logs to yourself:
 from your Drivers Log screen tap Email Logs
to present a date range popup (defaults to the
currently selected date)

 tap the From or To date bar selection to
present a calendar control to allow selection
of any other date

Once the date range is selected tap OK to generate the sending of the email event. A report of your daily
logs is prepared in PDF format and emailed to your registered email address.
This appears as an entry in your daily logs.
Sample Email Logs event generated:

The email address used to send the PDF of the logs is the address set up against your Driver entry in

Appendix:C - ELD DRIVER PORTAL in Coretex 360
Driver access to ELD DRIVER PORTAL
For customers configured for use of ELD (Electronic Logging Device) then drivers use Android tablets
and the Coretex DRIVE application to manage their daily trips, with two-way integration with Coretex
360. Some drivers may also wish to sign in to Coretex 360 directly to work with their daily driver logs.

Drivers signing in to Coretex 360
Drivers have the facility to sign in to Coretex 360 itself and access a DRIVER PORTAL. This provides
restricted access to the system with the objective of:
 allowing a driver to view and report on only their own driver logs
 allowing a driver to certify their previous days logs
 allowing a driver to make driver edits in their own driver logs
From the Sign-in screen for Coretex 360:
 sign-in with your Driver credentials to directly present the DRIVER PORTAL

Driver log events listing
All status events for you (as the driver) and currently selected day are sorted by time of day starting from
midnight.
Each entry has a status icon to the left:
Active event entry generated by you the driver, or was auto-generated, or generated by a
supervisor/administrator and accepted by you
Your supervisor may assign periods of unidentified driving and other
events to you (these are supervisor proposed edits).
You need to consider them and determine if they are applicable to you or
not. If not, you can reject them and the supervisor can look at them again,
and perhaps, assign them to a different driver.
You can accept or reject these proposed edits (depending on whether they
are applicable to you or not) by:
 clicking
 clicking

to accept the proposed edit
to reject it

A status event entry you have rejected  it will be reviewed by your supervisor later (for
possible reassignment)
Filtering the events graph and list
Separate filters are provided for filtering and simplifying the graph and events list.
Graph filter by event status

All your driver log entries, for events in the currently selected day
are listed in the table, and displayed on the graph.
To simplify the graph display, these can be filtered by event status
using the Event Filter dropdown.
This does not filter the status events in the list.

Status
Active
Inactive
Proposed
Rejected

Description
Your log entries that are active and were generated today or in the previous seven days
Your log entries that are inactive and older than today and the previous seven days
Your log entries that have been edited, either by you yourself, or by a supervisor
Log entries that have been sent to you but you rejected them (for the supervisor to then decide
on)

Events list filter by event status

Your events list can soon fill up with multiple screens worth of entries and so it can be useful to filter out
all events that are not On Duty or Off Duty.
 tick Show All Events checkbox to show all events, or untick to filter and only list entries with an
Event Type of On Duty or Off Duty
Driver Edits
When you sign in with a Coretex 360 Driver sign in, this presents just your driver event status entries.
You are free to make changes to the entries in the list, if you wish to amend details (for example, a
change of event status, adding a co-driver). You can also add a new status entry.

 on your tablet in Coretex DRIVE, or
 review and respond to them in the DRIVER PORTAL in Coretex 360
If you accept a proposed edit, then that status event entry is added to your daily log.
If you reject a proposed edit, then they are returned for further review by the supervisor/administrator
who, perhaps, may reassign them to another driver.

To save changes:
 click Save to save and the edited entry will be sent down to your tablet
You cannot accept unidentified driving events; this must be done from your tablet in Coretex DRIVE.
However, if you have previously rejected such events on the tablet, a supervisor/administrator can assign
them as proposed edits (and assigned to another driver).

Certifying your driver logs
You can review your driver logs, day by day for the current day and any previous day. Once you have
checked that a days logs are true and correct you are required to certify them which signs them off as
being completed.
From the DRIVER PORTAL you can certify for any previous day, whereas on the tablet in Coretex DRIVE
you are limited to the previous seven days.

Most drivers will perform this on their tablets in
Coretex DRIVE but you can do it from the DRIVER
PORTAL by clicking on Agree:

Once certified that days log will show with a green
tick stating and stamped with the date it was done.

Printing your daily drivers log
You can output a report of the drivers log for the currently selected driver and day by clicking the Print
button on the Driver Log View/Edit screen.
