Page 32 800-358-6178 | [email protected] | www.nextraq.com NexTraq LLC Changing the status to On Duty or Driving also enables the options for Personal Use and Off Road. Personal Use is mentioned in the FMCSAs Supplemental Proposal, which was published on March 28, 2014, that mandates ELDs for most drivers of CMVs that currently log. The proposal says that ELDs may be set up to allow drivers to put themselves in a special driving category called personal use. When a driver selects this option, the ELD will record the time as off duty until the driver de-selects the option. Off Road, on the other hand, means that the vehicle is running on rough terrain. Lastly, Yard Moves, has been established under a mandate which allows a driver or personnel to perform duties like moving trucks around the home yard by establishing a single set of thresholds for all ELDs in an On Duty, not Driving status without triggering the device by reaching the thresholds. 3.3 Changing the Drivers Ruleset The country flag (US or Canadian ) indicates the ruleset the driver is currently using.
