your work!


Log In \ Log Out

You need to search for Wheels eLog Application in the Google Play Store or Apple App
Store on your Android or iOS device. You need to click the "Install" button and wait until
the app is downloaded to your device. Accept the permissions asked by the app.



The Wheels eLog app requires that you first register for a new account or sign in with your
own User Login and User Password. The app can also be accessed using Face ID/
Touch ID.



The User Login and User Password are created during registration on our website
and are unique. The Motor Carrier or Fleet Manager can assist you if you don't know or
don't remember your login data.



If you need to log out of Wheels eLog Application, make sure the Upload Queue in the
Settings menu is empty. If not, please recheck your internet connection and wait until all
data is transferred. Logging out of the app is available after that.



If you want to use the same app on another device, you should also log out of the app
installed on your current device. Logging into two different devices simultaneously will
result in unavoidable data loss

Connecting to the Truck

Ensure that your ELD device is properly plugged into your truck as described in the
Hardware Manual before connecting your Wheels eLog Application.



When the ELD Device is connected correctly, you need to turn on Bluetooth, open the
app, and click on the "Truck" icon on the Home Screen. Using the app, all nearby trucks
will be scanned for ELD presence and a list will be generated. Set up the connection with
one tap by selecting your truck and ELD by serial number.



The Green Truck icon at the top of the app screen indicates that the system is in ELD
mode and the truck is connected. A Red Truck icon indicates that a connection was lost
and needs to be re-established.

Switching of HOS Statuses
Drivers can change their statuses during a shift using the Status Switch interface. Driver
statuses include Driving, On Duty, Off Duty, Sleeping Berth, Border Crossing, Yard Move
(Available only when the "Current Status" is On Duty), and Personal Use (Available only
when the "Current Status" is Off Duty).


In 1-5 seconds after a vehicle starts moving, it automatically records the "Driving" status. It
is important to wait up to 10 seconds when you've stopped, before turning off your
engine. Once the ELD device has recognized the end of the Driving event and the Status
Switch interface has become active again you can turn the engine off.


The ELD device may get stuck in the Driving status if you turn off the engine before it
recognizes the end of the Driving event. This can corrupt your log recordings. If this
has already happened, you need to turn on the engine again, wait for the Driving event
to end, and change the status accordingly.


Manually added events like Personal Use and Yard Move can be entered by drivers along
with comments, shipping documents, and trailers. Odometer data should also be entered
for manually added events.

Personal Use \ Yard Move

Switch" interface to switch to the "Personal
Use" status. Afterward, you'll see a field for a
comment where you can indicate that you're
now in "Personal Use".


Click the "Clear" button, add a comment, and
click "Save" to change the status.


Choose the "On Duty" status in the "Status
Switch" interface to switch to the "Yard Move"
status. Afterward, you'll see a field for a

now in "Yard Move".


Click the "Clear" button, add a comment, and
click "Save" to change the status.
