Driver Vehicle Inspection Report

Introduction
To comply with FMCSA requirements, all commercial vehicle drivers are
required to keep a log of their work activity using Electronic Logging Devices
(ELDs).



In response to customer needs, our team has developed the Trip ELD app, a
versatile mobile elog designed to take your work time to the next level.
Working with the PT30 ELD, the app displays engine diagnostics, driver status
changes, provides GPS tracking and more to help create a safer and more
productive environment. It also helps drivers log their Hours of Operation
(HOS), complete DVIR reports, pass DOT checks, and pass data to safety
officers for easy and affordable FMCSA compliance.



Rely on the Trip ELD app to increase the quality of your work!

Log in/Log Out
In the Google Play Store for Android devices
or the Apple App Store for iOS devices, you
need to search for Trip ELD Application. After
you find the app, you need to click the
Install button and wait until the software is
downloaded to your device. Open the app
and accept the permissions that are asked. 



To set up the Trip ELD app for the first time,
you need to register a new account or log in
with

your

personal

User

Login

and

User

Password. You can also use Face ID/Touch ID
to enter the app.



Please note that each User Login and User
Password

are

unique

and

created

with

registration on our website. If you dont know
or dont remember your login data, please
contact your fleet manager or motor carrier.

When you will need to log out of Trip ELD Application, you need to check if
the Upload Queue in the Settings menu is empty. If not, please re-check your
internet connection and wait until all the data will be transferred. Only after
that, you can log out from the app.



You should also log out of the app installed on your current device if you want
to use the same app on another device. Being logged into two different
devices simultaneously will lead to an unavoidable data loss



Team Driving
If you drive in as the team-drivers, you can
also use the Trip ELD app to log your working
hours and duty statuses. In this case, all
drivers who use the same vehicle are obliged
to be logged in to the same app installed on
the
same
device
simultaneously.

Please note that using two or more devices
at the same time is prohibited (for both single
or team drivers) as it can lead to unavoidable
data loss. 


To get started, the First driver should log in
to the app with their personal User Login and
User Password as it was described in a
previous paragraph. The Second driver
should click on the "Menu" button and click
on the "Co-Driver" field and enter their User
Login and User Password in the Co-driver
Login field. 



After that, both drivers will be able to use the
app by switching the viewing perspective
with the help of the Co-drivers icon.

Connecting to Truck
To connect your Trip ELD Application to your
truck, make sure that the ELD device is
correctly plugged into your truck as
described in the User Hardware Manual. 



If the ELD Device is connected correctly, you
need to turn on the Bluetooth on your
smartphone or tablet, open the app, and click
the "Truck" icon at the top of the Home
Screen. The app will scan all the nearby
trucks for the ELD device presence and show
them as a list. Choose your truck and the
ELD by the serial number from the list and
set up a connection with one click.



The Green Truck icon at the top of the app
screen means that the truck is connected
and the system is in ELD mode. The Red
Truck icon means that the connection was
lost and is required to be restored.

Malfunctions and Data Inconsistencies
According to FMCSA requirements, each ELD device must monitor its
compliance with the ELD technical standards and detect malfunctions and
data inconsistencies. The ELD output will identify these data diagnostic and
malfunction events and their status as either "detected" or "cleared."


If there are any malfunctions or data diagnostic issues detected, the M/D icon
at the top of the app screen will change its color from green to red. The red M
letter will signal a malfunction, and the red D letter will indicate a data
inconsistency.


According to FMCSA requirements (49 CFR  395.34 ELD malfunctions and
data diagnostic events), in the case of an ELD malfunction, a driver must do
the following:

1. Note the malfunction of the ELD and provide written notice of the
malfunction to the motor carrier within 24 hours.

2. Reconstruct the record of duty status for the current 24-hour period and
the previous 7 consecutive days, and record the records of duty status on
graph-grid paper logs that comply with 395.8, unless the driver already
possesses the records or the records are retrievable
