eDriver Logs® ELD Android Driver Guide

<![if ! IE]>

<![endif]>Guide Driver Android ELD Logs eDriver

The eDriver Logs ELD system complies with and is tested against the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) specifications as found in 49 CFR Part 395 for Electronic Logging Devices, Subpart B.

NOTE:

This guide is intended to complement Trimble’s eDriver Logs® ELD training. No driver should attempt to rely solely on the eDriver Logs ELD guide without first completing training from your company.

If there is an ELD Compliance Malfunction on the device and you are not able to immediately resolve the malfunction, you must begin

keeping paper logs until the device is once again compliant. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for common causes and resolutions. If your logs can no longer be accessed on the device, you must reconstruct your logs on paper for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days. For this reason you are required to carry a paper log book in your vehicle at all times.

Trimble bears no responsibility for the driver’s failure to comply with this requirement.

You are required to keep this guide in your vehicle at all times. Provide this documentation to the auditor in the case of a D.O.T. inspection. eDriver Logs ELD relies on accurate input of data and appropriate use by the driver.

Trimble assumes no liability for erroneous, accidental, or intentional input of data or misuse of the product.

The regulations announced by the FMCSA and the Canadian government are subject to change. Trimble will endeavor to automatically update the eDriver Logs ELD device as soon as practical. Trimble assumes no liability for reasonable delays in providing system updates or upgrades.

SYMBOLS & WARNINGS

Miscellaneous Warnings

[Orange] This icon can represent a few different warnings. Read the text that accompanies the icon to determine what the warning is and if any action is needed.

[Red] Data diagnostics appear on your device when a driver is signed in to the application. If your device enters a data diagnostic state, you will see a red triangle icon in the action bar at the top of the screen.

Navigate to your log events to determine the exact type of diagnostic event that has occurred, and see Troubleshooting for common causes and resolutions.

RECORD STATE LINE CROSSINGS

The logging device cannot obtain vehicle location data frequently enough to meet International Fuel Tax Agreement requirements.

Drivers must keep paper records of their route of travel and miles per jurisdiction until normal location detection resumes. A warning audio will sound once when the failure is detected, and a different audio will sound when this failure is resolved.

UNKNOWN DRIVER

The vehicle is moving but the person operating the vehicle has not been identified. Stop driving and either sign in or change status as directed.

DRIVER STATUS

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. The screenshot below may be different if Driver Role Selection is enabled.

DRIVER STATUS

Questions and Answers

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.

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 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 record keeping, such as determining when driver vehicle inspection reports need to be created or reviewed.
