Driver Login

Driver Login (Part 1)
The driver is presented with a list of accounts
when the tablet is turned on or activated. The
driver must select their name from the list
provided to complete login and change their duty
status.

Notes
The company administration department is
responsible for adding, editing and deleting
all driver information. Once the driver has
been added into the driver management
system, their name will appear as shown on
the left. Motor carriers are required to
manage their ELD accounts, including
creating,
deactivating,
and
updating
accounts and ensuring that individuals have
ELD accounts with appropriate rights. Each
driver must have a unique ELD drivername.
Each driver account must include the drivers
name, license number, and licensing state.

Driver Login (Part 2)
After selecting their name from the list, the
driver will need to enter their 4 digit unique
pin to log in. After login, the CLD creates a
connection between the onboard GPS
device and ELD application. There can only
be one unique driver connection at a time.
Notes
The drivers pin should be confidential and
should not be shared with any other
employee.

Pin Generation
If the driver has not yet set a pin, they will be
sent an SMS text message to their cell phone
on on record. This message will contain a
special code to validate their account. They
will then be redirected to page where he
should enter this verification code. After
verifying their phone number, the driver will be
given opportunity for setting their pin.

Choose Truck & Trailer

Truck & Trailer Selection
Before proceeding to the dashboard page,
the driver is asked to choose truck and
trailer. These steps can be skipped, but the
driver must select a truck & trailer before the
beginning of each shift (overwise they are
not allowed to change duty status).
Notes
The driver MUST log out after each shift to
make the truck & trailer available for the next
driver.

information about their activity for that day.
As per the ELD mandate, the device will
automatically change status between On
Duty and Driving as well as Driving and On
Duty. The driver will be presented with
notifications to confirm the duty type status
change.
Company personal must log all Yard Moves
using the YM button shown on the
dashboard. (See below for a definition of
each button)

Driver Dashboard
The driver dashboard is where the employee will see
Off Duty
 The driver is not working.
Sleeper Berth
 The driver is resting in the trucks sleeper area. (Long distance)
Driving
 The driver is actually driving the vehicle.
On Duty Not Driving  The driver is doing work other than driving, such as fueling, inspection,
unloading freight, etc.
YM (Yard Moves)
 Used for mechanics and drivers who move a truck around the motor carriers
property.
On Duty status change, timer for each duty status is activated and the Hours of service rule is applied to
those.
11-hour driving rule  A driver may drive up to 11 hours total before he is required to take a 10-hour
break. The 11-hour clock only ticks while the truck is actually being driven.
14-hour on duty shift rule  As soon as a driver changes his status to On Duty or Driving to start his
day, a 14-hour clock starts ticking. This clock DOES NOT STOP ticking, even if the driver switches to
Off Duty or Sleeper Berth. Once the 14 hours is up, the driver must take a 10-hour break before driving
any more.
70-hour in 8 days rule (or 60 in 7)  Total time spent Driving and On Duty cannot exceed 70 hours in
any 8-day period. So add up the time spent Driving and On Duty today, plus the prior 7 days. That total
cannot be over 70 hours. A driver may gain back time at midnight when the oldest day in his 8-day

Page 5

window falls out of the time range. To completely reset the 70-hour clock requires a 34-hour restart
(see below). There is also a variation of this rule that works the same way, but limits work time to 60
hours in 7 days. Fleets can decide which of these two variations they want to use.
8-hour, 30-minute break rule  When the driver comes off a break and changes to On Duty or
Driving, an 8-hour clock starts ticking. Before the 8 hours is up, the driver must take at least a
30-minute rest break in Off Duty or Sleeper status. After the 30-minute break, the driver has at most
other 8 hours to work before he is required to take another 30-minute break.
10-hour break  If time on the 11-hour or 14-hour clock has expired, the driver must take at least 10
consecutive hours in Off Duty and/or Sleeper Berth status to reset those clocks.
34-hour restart  If a driver is running low on time on his 70-hour in 8 days clock (or 60-hour in 7
days), he can complete a 34-hour restart to reset the 70-hour clock. A restart must be 34 consecutive
hours of Off Duty and/or Sleeper Berth time. (Note: there used to be some additional rules placed on
the 34-hour restart. These old rules dictated that it could only be used once every 7 days and that it
had to include two mornings from 1am-5am. These rules were suspended in 2014 and are no longer in
effect)

The ELD automatically records the date, time, geographic location (accurate to a one-mile radius),
engine hours, vehicle miles, driver or driver ID, vehicle ID, and motor carrier ID. The data is recorded
at power-up and shutdown, at every change in duty status, at least every hour while the vehicle is
moving, whenever a driver logs in or out, and when an ELD detects or clears a malfunction or
diagnostic event.
