AOBRD vs. ELD
Starting December 2019 all logbooks used by drivers are to be switched from AOBRD
mode to the ELD, which stands for the Electronic logging device. Due to the switch, the
events history may get lost. Therefore, we advise you to re-check the data history and
email us at [email protected] if there is any information missing.

Login Credentials

To use the application, please make sure that mobile data
is on:
1. Enter the User ID.
2. Enter the Password.
Note: both User ID and Password are created on the
website while the registration and provided by the fleet.
3. Click on the Login button to login to the ELD
application.
Note: you can also use Face ID to enter the ELD app.

Connecting for Co-drivers
If you drive in pairs, you can also use the Driver Book ELD app. However, co-drivers in
our system are obligated to log in via the same application on the same device. The
procedure is similar to that used for a single driver: log in to the application using the
interface for co-drivers and log both of your work data using the same device.

Malfunctions & Data Diagnostics Issues
The DriverBook application detects all the malfunctions and data
diagnostics failures that may occur while driving. As soon as an issue is
discovered, it will be depicted by the M/D icon in the top left corner of the
screen.
The red M letter stands for malfunctions and the red D letter stands for
data diagnostics failures. To see what an exact problem occurred, the driver should tap
the M/D icon and check the details. If there are no problems with your truck, elog
device, or application, the M/D icon stays green.
Malfunctions types:
Engine Synchronization - an absence of the Engine Control Module synchronization
for more than 30 minutes over a 24-hour period.
How to fix - contact the motor carrier and arrange for the ECM link to be restored.
Recheck and correct the logs if needed, and restart the engine.
Positioning Compliance - an absence of valid GPS information for more than 60
minutes in a 24-hour period.
How to fix - wait for the GPS signal to be restored automatically.
Data Recording compliance - your smartphone or laptop has less than 5 MB of the free
space left.
How to fix - clear your device from unnecessary files to free up space.
Unregistered odometer change - the odometer has changed while you were not
driving.
How to fix - open the events menu in the application to recheck the odometer or
contact your motor carrier.
Timing compliance - the ELD provides an incorrect timeframe of the events.
How to fix - contact your motor carrier or the support team.
Data diagnostics failures:
Engine synchronization - ECM does not acquire values for the ELD parameters within 5
seconds.
How to fix - contact the motor carrier and arrange for the ECM link to be restored.
Recheck your logs and restart your engine after that.
Missing data elements - temporary or permanent loss of the GPS or Internet
connection or the ECM disconnection.
How to fix - reconnect and reload your ELD device.
Unidentified driving records - unidentified driving for more than 30 minutes during
the last 24-hours.
How to fix - assume the unidentified events until their duration drops to 15 minutes or
less during the current 24-hour period.
Data transfer - the data can not be transferred to the server correctly.
How to fix - contact your motor carrier or the support team.

Off Duty - Personal Use
PC (Personal Conveyance) is a status that may also be used by
a driver in our application. It is a part of the Off-Duty status,
so, in order to use it, the driver should switch to Off-Duty
first, then select Personal Use and then use Clear once they
finish. Any of these steps may go with a comment in the
corresponding section if needed.

6

On Duty - Yard Move
In order to add the Yard Move, the driver should perform
the following steps:
1. Switch to the On Duty status on the statuses wheel;
2. Select Yard Move;
3. Enter a comment if needed and save.
Once the status is no longer needed, the driver should
select Clear, enter a comment and save again.

Driving turning off issues
The issue that may occur is getting stuck in the Driving Mode. In case you turn off the
engine before it stops, the device does not receive a signal of zero speed. That means:
the device does not recognize the end of the driving event. As a result, there will be no
chance to update the status nor proceed to any other action without ending the driving.
What you need to do is to start the truck and let the device receive a zero speed signal.
Once it is done, the issue will be resolved and the Status wheel will be active again.
