Q: What does it mean if driving
time left is N/A?

Q: What is Available Drive Time,
and how is it calculated?

A: N/A means that the logging
device cannot calculate Available
Drive Time due to insufficient
data. Review all records of duty
status, including paper logs, to
determine your actual driving
time left.

A: Available Drive Time is the
maximum time in hours and
minutes (hh:mm) that a driver
legally may continue to operate a
commercial vehicle without rest.
The logging device calculates
the time remaining until each
applicable hours of service limit will
be reached. The lowest of these is
displayed as Available Drive Time.

Symbols & Warnings
Q: What is the difference between Work Shift rules and
Daily rules?
A: Work Shift rules restrict the on duty time that a driver may
accumulate from the moment the driver reports to duty
to the moment he or she is released from duty. Work Shift
calculations do not reset until the driver has accumulated
the minimum consecutive off duty time required by the
applicable US or Canadian hours of service regulations.
Canada has additional rules, called Daily rules, which restrict the
on duty time a driver may accumulate from the start of one 24hour log period to the start of the next and establish mandatory
minimums for the total off duty time a driver must accumulate
within a log period. Daily calculations automatically reset at the
beginning of each log day.
Q: Why do my driving time details sometimes show
Salesperson instead of Cycle Duty?
A: If you are operating in the US as a driver salesperson1, the
typical cycle duty limit does not apply toward your driving
time left so long as you do not exceed 40 hours Driving in
any period of 7 consecutive days2. The Salesperson value
shows how long you may continue to drive under this driver
salesperson exception.

Driver Status
PREVIEW AVAILABLITY
Every time you sign in, the logging device will request your electronic records of duty
status (daily logs) from the Trimble server.

Q: Ive been waiting a long time, but still havent received my logs.
What should I do?
A: The system will try to reach the server for 60 seconds. If the server
cannot be reached, you will receive an error message and must
reestablish communications before signing in. If you have recently
signed in to this device, a Stop button will appear after 60 seconds,
allowing you to continue signing in without reaching the server.

When you receive a message that logs are received or up to date, tap OK to view
your last recorded duty status and current driving time left.

Q: I received a message that there are proposed edits and/
or uncertified logs that need to be reviewed on the Trimble
eDriver Logs website. What do I do?
A: You will need to sign in to the Driver Portal to complete these
actions, as they are required on logs older than can be accessed on
the device.

TIP: If you entered the wrong login information or do not yet have enough time
available, tap Cancel to return to the Login screen. Re-enter the correct information
or wait until you have time available, and try again.

INITIAL STATUS
After previewing availability, tap Status and then choose the button that best
represents your initial duty status. See the Change Status section for a complete
list of buttons and corresponding duty statuses.

Q: I dont see a Driving button. How do I record when I am driving
the vehicle?
A: When you tap ON Driver, you are indicating that you are on duty
and preparing to operate the vehicle. The logging device will detect
when the vehicle is moving and record the correct duty status for
you based on the movement of the vehicle. See the details below.
Q: I dont have a co-driver. Do I still need to tap the On Duty
(Driver) button before I operate the vehicle?
A: Yes. The logging device uses this information not only to maintain
accurate driver logs but also for other record keeping, such as
determining when driver vehicle inspection reports need to be
created or reviewed. See Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports.

You will be required to enter an annotation (comment) when selecting Yard Moves
(ON YM) or Personal Conveyance (OFF PC). See Change Status for more
information about these options.

ON Driver

If you are the first driver to sign in during your work shift, the device will prompt
you to confirm the vehicle ID. If the vehicle ID has changed or is not correct, tap the
pencil icon and enter or update the vehicle ID. If the vehicle ID displayed is correct,
or you are finished entering the ID, tap OK. Please take caution when updating your
vehicle ID to validate that the vehicle ID matches the one used by your carrier.

You may be prompted to enter your location if GPS data is not available.

STATUS CHANGE

These additional options may be available if enabled by your carrier:

Starting from the Driver Overview screen, tap Status and then choose the option
that best describes your current activity.

Choose this if you are relieved from all responsibility for performing
work and taking control of the vehicle for your own personal use. This
will record your activity as Authorized Personal Use of CMV (PC)
(OFF, Line 1).

These options are available for all drivers:
Choose this when you are on duty and taking control of the vehicle. The
logging device will detect when the vehicle is moving and automatically
record your activity as D (Line 3) when the vehicle is moving and ON
(Line 4) when the vehicle is stopped. No other driver may take control
of the vehicle until you choose a different status, start a Rest Break, or
sign out.

Choose this if you are moving your vehicle inside your carriers yard.
This will record your activity as Yard Moves (YM) (ON, Line 4).

Choose this if you are on duty but not in control of the vehicle. This will
record your activity as ON (Line 4). If no one has taken control of the
vehicle, the automatic motion detection system will continue to track
vehicle movements and report them as Unidentified Driver events.
Choose this when you are beginning a period of rest in
the vehicles sleeper berth. This will record your activity
as SB (Line 2).
Choose this when you are relieved of duty and are signing out of the
logging device. This will record your activity as OFF (Line 1). To record
your status as off duty without signing out of the logging device, see
Rest Break.

REST BREAK
The Rest Break feature is used for recording off duty
activity during the work shift. Drivers who use this
feature remain signed in to the application, thereby
avoiding the screen prompts associated with signing
out of a logging device and signing back in again.
WARNING: Drivers should only use this feature
if they will return to duty in the same vehicle
before the end of the work shift.
To begin a rest break, tap the Rest Break button in
the upper right of the driver overview screen and
confirm that you want to start a break now. This
will record your activity as Off Duty (Line 1) without
signing you out of the application.

The application will determine the minimum rest
necessary to improve driving time, and show this
value as Gain Time At. When the required rest break
time is fulfilled, Gain Time At and Available Drive
Time will be recalculated.
To end a rest break, tap the red Stop
Break button in the upper right to display
the Status screen.
Choose ON Driver if you are returning
to duty and will be operating the vehicle or ON Not
Driver if you are the co-driver. Choose SB if you will
continue resting in the vehicles sleeper berth before
returning to duty. Choosing any button other than
OFF Sign Out will return to the Driver Overview
screen and cause Gain Time At and Available Drive
Time to be recalculated.
When you are finished using the vehicle, dont use
the Rest Break feature. Instead, choose OFF Sign
Out from the Status screen. This will begin the sign
out process and trigger a post-trip driver vehicle
inspection (if applicable).

ADD REMOVE RESOURCES
If you are the first driver to sign in during your work
shift, you may be asked to review the trailers and
shipments added by a previous driver, and remove or
add new resources.
Tap Remove to remove the selected resource shown
on the left without recording it on your log. To add
a shipment, enter the ID in the Shipment ID field
on the right and then tap Add. You may also add or
tap Remove to remove the selected resource shown
on the left without recording it on your log. To add
a shipment, enter the ID in the Shipment ID field
on the right and then tap Add. You may also add or
remove resources after you are signed in. See Select
Resource. Tap Next to keep all resources shown. This
will record these resources, if any, on your current
driver log.

Co-Driver Login
Tap + Driver to allow a co-driver to sign in.

The co-driver will be logged into
the System and will need to tap
either Cancel if they logged in by
error or Status. Cancel will return
the screen to the previous driver.
Chooseing a Status will take them to the Shipments
screen where they can continue with the current
shipment or add additional shipments. This will
activate the co-driver on the ELD screen. To select the
previous driver, tap the Driver Card, this will toggle the
driver information on the ELD screen.

Tap on the line that says Enter Driver ID, then use the
on-screen keyboard to enter the Driver ID. Tap Next
on the keyboard to move to the password line. Type
your driver password. Then tap the Done button on
the keyboard.

Trailers
From the Driver Overview screen, tap the
Trailers button.
To add a trailer to the list, enter the trailer
ID and then tap Add (or Enter on the
keyboard). This will add the trailer as a current
resource and also record this information
on the current days log for each driver who is
signed in. To drop trailers, tap on one or more
checkboxes in the list on the left, and then
tap Remove. Tap on Home to return to the
Driver Overview.

Shipments

Manual Location Data Entry

From the Driver Overview screen, tap the Shipments button.

The logging device uses GPS to determine the vehicles location at the time of each
duty status change and driver vehicle inspection. If valid coordinates cannot be
obtained from GPS, you will be prompted to enter the location. GPS entry consists of
the following fields:

To add a shipment to the list, enter the shipping document number (if
applicable) or the shipper name and commodity name, and then tap Add.
This will add the shipment as a current resource and also record this information
on the current days log for each driver who is signed in. To drop a shipment,
tap on it once to highlight it in the list, and then tap Remove.

TIP: If adding multiple shipments bound for separate destinations, add them
one at a time so that each is listed on a separate line. This will allow you to

CARRY OVER DEFECT

REVIEW PREVIOUS INSPECTION

In some cases, the previous DVIR for an asset may include a defect that was certified
as Repairs Not Necessary. This suggests that the defect or deficiency may still
exist, but that repair is not required in order for the vehicle to be operated safely.

If the DVIR feature is enabled and you are the driver of the vehicle, you will be
prompted to review the most recent driver vehicle inspection report for each
resource in the current vehicle combination. If a trailer was removed during sign
in, you will be prompted to create a driver vehicle inspection report for each trailer
removed. See Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports.

The logging device will carry over such defects to the next driver vehicle inspection
report. You will be notified when beginning a new inspection report if the previous
report has such defects. You may add to or edit these defects as needed before
submitting your new inspection report.

The Driver Overview screen will be shown when the sign in process is complete.
NOTE: Always review your logs before operating the vehicle to ensure that all
information is true and correct. You are responsible for ensuring that all records
required to be in your possession1 are available in electronic and/or paper format.

TRAILERS
If the DVIR feature is enabled, you will be prompted to create a DVIR when
you remove a trailer, or review the most recent DVIR when you add a trailer.
See Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports.

View DVIR
This screen allows you or an official to view the
most recent driver vehicle inspection report for
any resource (vehicles, trailers, etc.) in the vehicle
combination. You also have the option to start a new
DVIR during your shift.

Starting from the Driver Overview screen for
any driver, tap DVIR1 to see the report for the first
available resource (typically the vehicle). Tap the tabs
at the top left of the screen to navigate between the
different resources.

INVALIDATE EXCEPTION

UNIDENTIFIED DRIVER

This option allows you to invalidate a
previously-taken exception.

This option allows you to add driving events to your
log that were recorded while no driver was signed in
to the device. Unidentified driver events are recorded
any time the vehicle is moved without a driver signed
in, or if a driver is signed in but is not in ON Driver,
YM, or PC status. To avoid these events, always make
sure to properly sign in to the device before moving
the vehicle.

DIAGNOSTICS
This option allows you to view identification
information about the device, as well as a
general system health check. Tap and hold
on System Check to view system details.

REVIEW LOGS
This option is visible if you have uncertified
logs or if a non-driver host user has
proposed an edit to your log that requires
your attention. Tapping this option will
take you to the log(s) requiring review.
See Certify and Accept / Reject for
more details.

MISSING DATA
This option allows you to back-fill
information for duty status changes that
have been recorded in the past. This option
is visible only if required information (most
typically the vehicles location) was not
available when the duty status change
was recorded. See Manual Location
Data Entry.

Tapping this option will take you to the log date
with the unidentified driver event(s). Once you have
reviewed the event details, tap the event and then tap
Accept or Reject to either add the event to your log
or discard it. Rejecting the event will remove it from
your view on the device. Other drivers and non-driver
host users will still have the ability to view and accept
or assign the event.
When you Accept an unidentified driver event, it is
added to your log and your Available Drive Time is
recalculated accordingly. The system automatically
places in you in an ON Not Driver status following
the unidentified driver event. Both the unidentified
driver and following On Duty event will appear on your
log with an Origin of Unidentified Driver.

Q: What if I Reject an Unidentified
Driver event by mistake?
A: Rejecting the event permanently
removes it from your view on the
device. Contact your carrier to have
them assign the event to you as a
proposed edit from the host. You
will first need to certify your log
before the non-driver host user can
propose an edit.
Q: What if I Accept an Unidentified
Driver event by mistake?
A: If the driver who should have
accepted the event is your co-driver,
you can reassign the event to them.
Tap on the driving event and tap
Reassign. Enter your password
when prompted, select the co-driver
from the list, enter a comment,
and click Reassign. Your co-driver
must then enter their password to
approve the change. The driving
event will be removed from your log
and added to your co-drivers log,
and Available Drive Time will be
recalculated.
