Status Assignments for Team Drivers

Sleeper Berth

Off Duty

For example, if you are in On Duty (Not Driving) status and your team
driver is in Sleeper Berth, you will be placed in Driving automatically if
the vehicle moves.
However, if you and your team driver are logged in and are both using
the same duty status, the last driver who last interacted with the device
will be placed into the primary driver role and placed in Driving
automatically when the vehicle moves.

Adverse Driving Conditions
You may encounter unexpected adverse driving conditions, like snow,
fog, or heavy traffic caused by an accident, that prevent you from
completing you route or work on time.

Fifth Line
This status is only available to oilfield drivers.
If you are working in an oilfield, you can set your status to Fifth Line
(Waiting at Well) when appropriate.
