Introduction

To stay compliant with FMCSA requirements, all drivers of commercial
motor vehicles are obliged to log their driving history using Electronic
Logging Devices (ELDs). 



Responding to the needs of the industry, our team has developed the
Club ELD app  an all-in-one mobile elog designed to take your driving
experience to a quality new level. Working in conjunction with the PT30
ELD device, the app displays engine diagnostics, driver status changes,
provides GPS tracking, and more, helping to create a safer and more
productive environment. It also assists drivers in logging their Hours of
Service (HOS), completing the DVIR reports, passing DOT inspections,
and transferring data to the safety officials for simple and affordable
FMCSA compliance.



Rely on the Club ELD app to stay on top of your performance! 


Log in/Log Out

In the Google Play Store for Android devices
or the iOS App Store for Apple devices, search
for Club ELD. After you find the app, you need
to tap the Install button and wait until the
software is downloaded into your device.
Open the app and accept the permissions if
asked. 



To set up the Club ELD app for the first time,
you need to either register a new account, or
log in with your personal User Login and User
Password. You can also use Face ID/Touch ID
to enter the app.



Please note that each User Login and User
Password are unique and created during
registration on our website. If you dont know
or dont remember your login data, please
contact your fleet manager or motor carrier.

In case you want to log out of the Club ELD app, you need to check if the
Upload Queue in the Settings menu is empty. If not, please re-check your
internet connection and wait until all the data is transferred. Only after
that, you can log out of the app.



You should also log out of the app installed on your current device if you
want to use the same app on another device. Being logged into two
different devices simultaneously will lead to an unavoidable data loss


Team Driving

If you drive in a team, you can also use the
Club ELD app to log your working hours and
duty statuses. To do so, all drivers operating
the same vehicle are obliged to be logged in
to the same app installed on the same device
simultaneously.



Please note that using two or more devices at
the same time is prohibited (for both single or
team drivers) as it will lead to unavoidable
data loss. 

To get started, the First driver should log in to
the app with their personal User Login and
User Password as it was described in a
previous paragraph. The Second driver should
tap the Co-drivers icon in the pop-up side bar
menu of the Home Screen and enter their
User Login and User Password in the Codriver Login field. 



After that, both drivers will be able to use the
app by switching the viewing perspective
with the help of the Co-drivers icon.

Connecting to Truck
To connect your Club ELD app with your
truck, make sure that the ELD device is
correctly plugged into your truck as described
in the Hardware Manual. 



If everything is OK, you need to turn on the
Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet,
open the app, and tap the Truck icon at the
top of the Home Screen. The app will scan all
the nearby trucks for the ELD device presence
and show them as a list. Choose your truck
and the ELD by the serial number from the
list and set up a connection with one click.



The Green Truck icon at the top of the app
screen means that the truck is connected and
the system is in ELD mode. The Red Truck
icon means that the connection was lost and
it is required to be restored.


5

Malfunctions and Data Inconsistencies
As per FMCSA requirements, each ELD device must monitor its
compliance with the ELD technical standards and detect malfunctions
and data inconsistencies. The ELD output will identify these data
diagnostic and malfunction events and their status as either "detected"
or "cleared."


If there are any malfunctions or data diagnostic issues detected, the M/D
icon at the top of the app screen will change its color from green to red.
The red M letter will signal a malfunction, and the red D letter will indicate
a data inconsistency.


According to FMCSA requirements (49 CFR  395.34 ELD malfunctions
and data diagnostic events), in the case of an ELD malfunction, a driver
must do the following:

1. Note the malfunction of the ELD and provide written notice of the
malfunction to the motor carrier within 24 hours.

2. Reconstruct the record of duty status for the current 24-hour period
and the previous 7 consecutive days, and record the records of duty
status on graph-grid paper logs that comply with 395.8, unless the driver
already possesses the records or the records are retrievable from the ELD.

3. Continue to manually prepare a record of duty status in accordance
with  395.8 until the ELD is serviced and brought back into compliance
with this subpart. 

Note: If you are facing any issues during the DOT inspection, please be
ready to provide the manually kept and filled RODS (records of duty
status) to the roadside inspector.

events. Contact the motor carrier or the Club ELD support team.

Power compliance  occur when an ELD is not powered for an
aggregated in-motion driving time of 30 minutes or more over a 24-hour
period across all driver profiles. Can be fixed automatically when
aggregated in-motion driving time will be less than 30 minutes in 24hour period

Data diagnostic events:
Engine synchronization  ECM to ELD connection is lost. Contact the
motor carrier and arrange for the ECM link to be restored.



Missing data elements  a temporary or permanent loss of the GPS/
Internet connection or the ECM disconnection. Reconnect and reload the
ELD device.



Unidentified driving records  unidentified driving lasts more than 30
minutes. Manage unidentified events until their duration drops to 15
minutes or less during a 24-hour period.



Data transfer  driving data cannot be transferred to the FMCSA server.
Contact the motor carrier or the Club ELD support team.


Power data diagnostic  The Engine was started while the device was
off, and the ELD took more than 60 seconds to power up after turning the
engine on. Can be fixed automatically once ELD is turned on or contact
the motor carrier.

Load Board
Using the Load Board menu, a driver can manage cargo offered to them
by fleet dispatchers directly in the Club ELD app. When there is available
cargo, a driver receives a message with the following information:
loading/unloading location;
loading date;
distance between a driver and loading location;
total distance;
cost of an order;
cargo and trailer characteristics.


A driver can respond to an offer in three ways:
Reject - driver rejects taking an offer.
Discuss - details of an offer need to be discussed further with a
dispatcher.
Book - driver is interested in an offer and is ready to pick up the cargo.


If a driver presses the Book or Discuss button, the cargo will be moved to
the My Loads section, where one can find all the cargoes that the driver
was interacting with:
Dispatched - cargoes a driver is about to pick up.
Book - cargoes a driver is ready to load.
Discuss - cargo details need to be discussed further with a dispatcher.
Covered - driver is interested in a cargo, but another driver is assigned
for a delivery (vanish from the list after the pick-up date).
Delivered - cargoes delivered by the current driver (vanish from the list
a month after delivery).

Status Switch

The Status Switch interface allows drivers to change their statuses during
a shift. The list of drivers statuses includes Driving, On Duty, Off Duty,
Sleeping Berth, and Border Crossing.
The Driving status is recorded automatically
3-10 seconds after a vehicle starts moving.
When the driving ends, you should stop, wait
3-10 seconds until the ELD device recognizes
the end of the Driving event and the Status
Switch interface becomes active again. Only
after that can you turn off the engine.



Please do not turn off the engine before the
ELD device recognizes the end of the Driving
event. In such a case, you may get stuck in
the Driving status and corrupt your logs
recording. If this has already happened, you
need to turn on the engine again, wait for the
end of the Driving event to be recognized,
and change the status to the one you need. 



The Club ELD app allows drivers to use
manually added events like Personal Use and
Yard Move. One can add comments, shipping
documents, and trailers to any event.
Manually added events should also be
followed with the odometer readings.
