Introduction
To comply with FMCSA regulations, all commercial vehicle drivers are required to use
Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) to track their work activities.


In response to customer demands, we have
developed the Fortune ELD app. This robust
mobile solution is designed to improve your
workday. When paired with the PT30 ELD, the
app provides engine diagnostics, driver
status updates, GPS tracking, and more,
ensuring a safer and more efficient work
environment. It also enables drivers to log
Hours of Service (HOS), complete DVIR
reports, pass DOT inspections and share
data easily with safety officers for FMCSA
compliance.

Log In \ Log Out
Search for the Fortune ELD Application in the Apple App Store on your iOS device

to get started. Then, tap the Install button and wait for the app to download onto

your device. After that, you'll need to accept the permissions requested by the

app.

Once you have the Fortune app, you'll need to register

for a new account or sign in using your existing User

Login and User Password. You can also access the app

using Face ID or Touch ID. Your User Login and User

Password are unique and created during the

registration process on our website. If you have trouble

with your login information, you can contact your Motor

Carrier or Fleet Manager for assistance.



When you need to log out of the Fortune ELD app,

ensure the Upload Queue in the Settings menu is

empty. If it's not, double-check your internet connection

and wait until all data has been transferred.



If you plan to use the app on a different device, be sure to log out of the app

on your current device. Logging into the app on two devices simultaneously

can lead to data loss.

Connecting to the Truck
Before you connect the Fortune ELD application, it's crucial to ensure that your
ELD device is properly plugged into your truck as per the detailed instructions in
the Hardware Manual. This will equip you with the necessary knowledge and
responsibility for the correct setup.

Once 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. Fortune ELD scans all
nearby vehicles for ELD presence and generates a list.
You can easily 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 the
connection was lost and needs to be re-established.

Switching of HOS Statuses
Drivers can change their statuses during a shift by clicking on the buttons on the Hours
of Service page. Driver statuses include Driving, On Duty, Off Duty, Sleeping Berth,
Border Crossing, Yard Move, and Personal Use.
When a vehicle starts moving, the Driving status is
automatically recorded within 1-5 seconds. Once the
vehicle has stopped, it is important to wait up to 10
seconds before turning off the engine. Once the ELD
device recognizes the end of the Driving event and the
Status Switch interface becomes active, you can turn the
engine off.



Turning off the engine before the end of the Driving event
may cause the ELD device to remain stuck in the Driving. 

status, which can corrupt your log recordings. If this has
occurred, you will need to turn on the engine again, wait
for the Driving event to end, and change the status
accordingly.



Drivers can manually add events such as Personal Use and Yard Move, along
with comments, shipping documents, and trailers. It's important to note that
odometer data should also be added for the manually added events.

Logbook Menu
When you click on the Logs at the bottom of
your screen, you'll be able to see the log book
with all the details about a driver, vehicle, and
carrier. The Log graph provides a visual
representation of a driver's status switches and
hours of service during a shift, keeping you
well-informed. To navigate between dates,
simply click the <> button.

 

You can add a missing event to your logs by
clicking Add Event. You can edit existing
events using the Pencil button in your logs.
