TRUE LOGBOOK

Driver's Guide
Welcome to the Driver's Guide to the
Electronic Logging System. This
comprehensive manual is designed to
provide drivers with a detailed
understanding of how to effectively
use the ELD to manage their Hours of
Service (HOS) records in compliance
with federal regulations.
Remember, the ELD App is a powerful
tool that streamlines your
record-keeping process and enhances
safety and compliance. Utilize its
features and functionalities to
optimize your driving experience and
maintain accurate HOS records.

Connecting the
Hardware to the Vehicle
To ensure accurate tracking of your driving time and
duty statuses, the ELD App requires a secure
connection to the vehicle's engine and other relevant
systems.


Locate the vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD)
port. This port is typically located under the
dashboard or near the steering column.



Connect the ELD device to the OBD port using
the provided cable. Ensure a secure connection
is established.



Once connected, the ELD device will
communicate with the vehicle's engine and
other relevant systems to gather data necessary
for accurate HOS tracking.

Syncing the ELD Device
to the App
To ensure accurate recording of your driving time and
duty statuses, the ELD App needs to be properly
synced with the ELD device.
 Launch the ELD App on your mobile device and
log in using your credentials.
 Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile
device and navigate to the app's settings.
 Within the settings, locate the "Connect to
Vehicle" option and select it. The app will initiate
a search for available ELD devices.
 Once the ELD device is detected, select it from
the list of available devices.
 The app will prompt you to confirm the
connection. Verify that the displayed ELD device
matches the one connected to your vehicle and
confirm the connection.
 The ELD App will establish a secure Bluetooth
connection with the ELD device, allowing
real-time data transfer between the app and the
vehicle's systems.

Using the ELD App
with Co-Drivers
Co-driving requires effective coordination and
communication to ensure compliance with Hours of
Service (HOS) regulations. Here's how the ELD App
supports co-drivers:










Set up co-drivers: Each team driver should use
the same ELD App and device, but they must
use their unique login credentials.
Coordinate duty status changes: Communicate
with your co-driver to ensure smooth transitions
between duty statuses.
Manage vehicle switches: When switching
vehicles, ensure the new vehicle is properly
configured and connected to the app.
Share devices and logs: Properly synchronize
and transfer data when handing over the device
to your co-driver to maintain accurate records.
Communicate with fleet managers: Keep your
fleet manager updated on HOS recording,
vehicle switches, and other relevant matters to
avoid missing or inconsistent data.

compliance purposes, you can send them
electronically.
 Choose the desired transfer type and follow the
prompts to send it to the appropriate recipient.

required rest breaks, or other HOS regulations.
Pay attention to these notifications to ensure
compliance and avoid penalties.
