Changing HOS Status

Interstate
eld

On the Status Switch screen, select your current duty status from the
following options: Driving, On Duty, Off Duty, Sleeper Berth, Border
Crossing, Yard Move (available only while On Duty), or Personal Use
(available only while Off Duty).

Automatic transitions

The system automatically switches your status to Driving when
vehicle motion is detected.

After stopping, allow at least 10 seconds before turning off the
engine so the ELD can properly record the end of the driving event
and unlock the status selector.
Shutting off the engine too quickly
may leave your log incorrectly
showing Driving, which can result
in a compliance violation. To
resolve this issue:

Restart the engine.

Allow the driving segment to
close.

Manually select the correct duty
status.

Manual entry details

You may also manually enter
additional information, including:

Special activity types (Personal
Use, Yard Move)

Custom notes or remarks

Shipping document numbers

Trailer numbers

Whenever you create or edit a log
entry, be sure to include the
odometer reading to keep your
records accurate and FMCSAcompliant.
