SIGN IN
This screen is shown when the vehicle is stopped, and no driver is
signed in to the logging device. Tap on the line that says Enter Driver
ID, then use the on-screen keyboard to enter the Driver ID and
password provided to you by your motor carrier. Then tap the Enter
or Return arrow on the keyboard.
Tip: Wherever an underlined text field appears on the screen, tap
once above the line to show the keyboard. Tap the Enter button
when you have finished typing to close the keyboard.
Q: What if I was not provided with a password?
A: If you have previously been using an eFleetSuite AOBRD and your motor carrier did
not provide you with a password, and if you have not signed in to the Driver Portal
(website) and set a password, leave the password field blank. You will be prompted to
set your password. If you are not prompted for a password, contact your carrier to have
your password set.
PREVIEW AVAILABILITY
Every time you sign in, the logging device will request your electronic records of duty status
(daily logs) from the web server.
When you receive a message that logs are received or up to date, click OK to view your last
recorded duty status and current driving time left. If you entered the wrong sign in information
or don’t yet have enough time available, tap Cancel to return to the Sign In screen. Re-enter
the correct information or wait until you have hours available, and try again.
Q: What is Gain time at?
A: This is the date (month/day/year) and time at which your Available Drive Time will
increase, presuming that you don’t change duty statuses before then. See Driver Overview for
more information.
3
Q: I’ve been waiting a long time, but still haven’t received my logs. What should I do?
A: The system will try to reach the server for 60 seconds. If the server cannot be reached, you will
receive an error message and must reestablish communications before signing in. If you have
recently signed in to this device, a Stop button will appear after 60 seconds, allowing you to
continue signing in without reaching the server.
Q: I received a message that there are proposed edits and/or uncertified logs that
need to be reviewed on the eFleetSuite website. What do I do?
A: You will need to sign in to the Driver Portal to complete these actions, as they are required
on logs older than can be accessed on the device.
If you are configured to operate commercial vehicles in both the United States and Canada,
you may preview your driving time left for either country before completing the sign in process.
Tap the flag icon to select your country setting. All screens, including Driver Overview, View
Logs, and Vehicle Motion, will update to show your hours of service information for the
selected country.
INITIAL STATUS
After previewing availability, tap Status and then choose the
button that best represents your initial duty status. See the
Change Status section for a complete list of buttons and
corresponding duty statuses.
You will be required to enter an annotation (comment) when
selecting Yard Moves (ON YM) or Personal Conveyance (OFF PC).
See Change Status for more information about these options.
If you are the first driver to sign in during your work shift, the device will prompt you to confirm
the vehicle ID. If the vehicle ID has changed or is not correct, tap the pencil icon and enter or
update the vehicle ID. If the vehicle ID displayed is correct, or you are finished entering the ID,
tap OK. Please take caution when updating your vehicle ID to validate that the vehicle ID
matches that used by your carrier.
You may be prompted to enter your location if GPS data is not available. See Location Data
Entry.
Q: I don’t see a Driving button. How do I record when I am driving the vehicle?
A: When you tap ON Driver, you are indicating that you are on duty and preparing to operate
the vehicle. The logging device will detect when the vehicle is moving and record the correct
duty status for you based on the movement of the vehicle. See the details below.
4
If you are the only driver signed in to the vehicle, you will be automatically transitioned to Driving
status any time the vehicle moves, unless you are in Personal Conveyance or Yard Moves status.

Q: I don’t have a co-driver. Do I still need to tap the On Duty (Driver) button before I operate
the vehicle?
A: Yes. The logging device uses this information not only to maintain accurate driver logs but
also for other recordkeeping, such as determining when driver vehicle inspection reports need
to be created or reviewed. See Driver Vehicle Inspection.
ADD OR REMOVE RESOURCES
If you are the first driver to sign in during your work shift, you may be asked to review the
trailers and shipments added by a previous driver, and remove or add new resources.
Tap Remove to remove the selected resource shown on the left without recording it on your
log. To add a shipment, enter the ID in the Shipment ID field on the right and then tap Add.
You may also add or remove resources after you are signed in. See Resources.
Tap Next to keep all resources shown. This will record these resources, if any, on your current
driver log.
5
REVIEW PREVIOUS DVIR
If the DVIR feature is enabled and you are the driver of the vehicle, you will be prompted to
review the most recent driver vehicle inspection report for each resource in the current vehicle
combination. If a trailer was removed during sign in, you will be prompted to create a driver
vehicle inspection report for each trailer removed. See Driver Vehicle Inspection.
The Driver Overview screen will be shown when the sign in process is complete. Always review
your logs before operating the vehicle to ensure that all information is true and correct. You
are responsible for ensuring that all records required to be in your possession1 are available
in electronic and/or paper format.
Tip: Tap Back to go back and change a response without starting over. Tap Cancel to
discard all previous responses and restart the sign in process from the beginning.

Q: I performed some work after signing out of the logging device but before signing in again.
Can I record that activity now?
A: Yes, but only if the activity you wish to add was On Duty, not Driving. After completing the
sign in process, go to Options to add Pre-Shift time (time worked just before signing in to the
logging device) and/or Post Shift time (time worked just after signing out of the logging
device). Your driving time left will be recalculated accordingly. Optionally, you are able to use
the Driver Portal to make edits to your log.
DRIVER OVERVIEW
This is the main screen of the application, showing the
driver’s name, current duty status, and hours and minutes of
driving time left.
Tap + Driver to allow a co-driver to sign in. Tap on any driver’s
card on the left to see the Driver Overview screen for a co-driver
who has already signed in.
Available Drive Time is shown in the large colored gauge. The color reflects the approximate
driving time left:
8:00
Green – more than 3 hours left
1:01
Yellow – between 1 and 3 hours left
00:00
Red – less than 1 hour left
6
Tap the circled arrow below Gain Time At to display Driving Time
Details, including active exceptions and the time remaining under
each applicable hours of service rule. You may need to swipe up
and down to view more detail if it does not all fit on the screen.
If you have uncertified logs or proposed edits that require review,
you will notice an orange flag over the Options button and three
orange lines in the upper left corner. See Options and View Logs
for more information. A red flag indicates missing data. See Driver
Options.
Q: What is Available Drive Time, and how is it calculated?
A: Available Drive Time is the maximum time in hours and minutes (hh:mm) that a driver
legally may continue to operate a commercial vehicle without rest. The logging device
calculates the time remaining until each applicable hours of service limit will be reached. The
lowest of these is displayed as Available Drive Time.

Q: What is the difference between Work Shift rules and Daily rules?
A: Work Shift rules restrict the on duty time that a driver may accumulate from the moment the
driver reports to duty to the moment he or she is released from duty. Work Shift calculations do
not reset until the driver has accumulated the minimum consecutive off duty time required by the
applicable US or Canadian hours of service regulations.
Canada has additional rules, called Daily rules, which restrict the on duty time a driver may
accumulate from the start of one 24-hour log period to the start of the next and establish
mandatory minimums for the total off duty time a driver must accumulate within a log period.
Daily calculations automatically reset at the beginning of each log day.
Q: What does it mean if driving time left is N/A?
A: N/A means that the logging device cannot calculate Available Drive Time due to insufficient
data. Review all records of duty status, including paper logs, to determine your actual driving
time left.
Q: Why do my driving time details sometimes show “Salesperson” instead of “Cycle Duty”?
A: If you are operating in the US as a driver salesperson1, the typical cycle duty limit does not
apply toward your driving time left so long as you do not exceed 40 hours Driving in any period
of 7 consecutive days2. The Salesperson value shows how long you may continue to drive
under this driver salesperson exception.

CHANGE STATUS
Starting from the Driver Overview screen, tap Status and then choose the option that best
describes your current activity.
These options are available for all drivers:
ON Driver
Choose this when you are on duty and taking control of the vehicle. The logging
device will detect when the vehicle is moving and automatically record your
activity as D (Line 3) when the vehicle is moving and ON (Line 4) when the
vehicle is stopped. No other driver may take control of the vehicle until you
choose a different status, start a Rest Break, or sign out.
ON Not Driver
Choose this if you are on duty but not in control of the vehicle. This will record
your activity as ON (Line 4).
8
SB
Choose this when you are beginning a period of rest in the vehicle’s sleeper
berth. This will record your activity as SB (Line 2).
OFF Sign Out
Choose this when you are relieved of duty and are signing out of the logging
device. This will record your activity as OFF (Line 1). To record your status as
off duty without signing out of the logging device, see Rest Break.
These additional options may be available if enabled by your carrier:
OFF PC
Choose this if you are relieved from all responsibility for performing work and
taking control of the vehicle for your own personal use. This will record your
activity as “Authorized Personal Use of CMV (PC)” (OFF, Line 1).
ON YM
Choose this if you are moving your vehicle inside your carrier’s yard. This will
record your activity as “Yard Moves (YM)” (ON, Line 4).
REST BREAK
The Rest Break feature is used for recording off duty activity during the work shift. Drivers who
use this feature remain signed in to the application, thereby avoiding the screen prompts
associated with signing out of a logging device and signing back in again.
Drivers should only use this feature if they will return to duty in the same vehicle before the
end of the work shift.
To begin a rest break, tap the Rest Break button in the upper right
of the driver overview screen and confirm that you want to start
a break now. This will record your activity as Off Duty (Line 1)
without signing you out of the application.
The application will determine the minimum rest necessary to
improve driving time, and show this value as Gain Time At. When
the required rest break time is fulfilled, Gain Time At and
Available Drive Time will be recalculated.
To end a rest break, tap the red Stop Break button in the upper
right to display the Status screen.
Choose ON Driver if you are returning to duty and will be
operating the vehicle or ON Not Driver if you are the co-driver.
Choose SB if you will continue resting in the vehicle’s sleeper
berth before returning to duty. Choosing any button other than
OFF Sign Out will return to the Driver Overview screen and cause
Gain Time At and Available Drive Time to be recalculated.
9
When you are finished using the vehicle, don’t use the Rest Break feature. Instead, choose
OFF Sign Out from the Status screen. This will begin the sign out process and trigger a posttrip driver vehicle inspection (if applicable).
DRIVER VEHICLE INSPECTION
REQUEST DVIR
After choosing the ON Driver button or adding a trailer to the vehicle
combination, verify the ID of the resource that you are using, and
then tap Request DVIR.
The logging device will request the most recent driver vehicle
inspection report and refresh this screen when a response is
received. Fill in any empty boxes and tap Next.
Q: I’ve been waiting a long time without receiving the most recent report. What should I do?
A: If you have waited at least 60 seconds, tap Stop to continue the inspection process without
a response from the web server. If a previous un-reviewed report is already stored on the
logging device, it will be presented for you to review. If not, perform your own inspection and
create a new DVIR listing any defects you find.
REVIEW & SUBMIT
If a previous report is presented for you to review, use the arrow
buttons to scroll through the report and review all the information
provided. See View DVIR.
If any defects are listed, verify that a statement is present certifying
that the defects were repaired or that repair is not needed. Be sure
to review all defects for each resource in the current vehicle
combination.
When you are done with the review, tap Next to show the
acknowledgement screen.
Tap Yes if you are satisfied with the vehicle’s condition, otherwise
tap No. If any unresolved defects were listed on the report, you will
also need to select Complete or Not Needed for Repair Status. Tap
Done to submit the report.
