eDriver Logs® ELD Android Driver Guide
The eDriver Logs ELD system complies with and is tested against the United States Department of
eDriver Logs ELD Android Driver Guide
Transportation (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) specications 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.

Q: What is the dierence between Work Shift rules
and Daily rules?
A: Work Shift rules restrict the on duty time that a driver may
Q: How do I tell which of my HOS limits is lowest
(which is being displayed in the Available Drive
Time gauge)?
A: Tap the arrow button beneath your name to show your availabil-
ity details. This shows the amount of time remaining under each
applicable HOS limit, the lowest of which is displayed in the
Available Drive Time gauge.
Q: What is Available Drive Time, and how is it calcu-
lated?
A: Available Drive Time is the maximum time in hours and min-
utes (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 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 insucient data. Review all records of duty
status, including paper logs, to determine your actual driving
time left.
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 o 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 o duty time a driver must accumulate within a log period. Daily calculations automatically reset at
the beginning of each log day
Q: Why do my driving time details show “Salesper-
son” instead of “Cycle Duty”?
A: If you are operating in the US as a driver salesperson1, the typi-
cal 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
seven consecutive days. The salesperson value shows how long
you may continue to drive under this driver salesperson exception.

MISSING DATA
This option allows you to back-fill information for
duty status changes that have been recorded
in the past. This option is only visible if required
information (most typically the vehicle’s location)
was not available when the duty status change
was recorded. See Manual Location Data
Entry.
UNIDENTIFIED DRIVER
This option allows you to add driving events to
your log that were recorded while no driver was
signed in to the device. Unidentified driver events
are recorded any time the vehicle is moved
without a driver signed in, or with multiple drivers
signed in but none in ON Driver, YM, or PC
status. To avoid these events, always make
sure to properly sign in to the device before
moving the vehicle. This option is only visible
if unidentified driving events are associated with
this device.
Tapping this option will take you to the log date
with the unidentified driver event(s). Once you
have reviewed the event details, tap the event
and then tap Accept or Reject to either add the
event to your log or discard it. Rejecting the event
will remove it from your view on the device. Other
drivers and non-driver Fleet Manager users will
still have the ability to view and accept or assign
the event. Only accept events that accurately
reflect your activities.
When you Accept an unidentified driver event,
it is added to your log and your Available Drive
Time is recalculated accordingly. The system
automatically places in you in an ON Duty status
following the unidentified driver event. Both the
unidentified driver Driving and following On Duty
event will appear on your log with an Origin of
Unidentied Driver.
Q: What if I Reject an Unidentied
Driver event by mistake?
A: Rejecting the event permanently removes it
from your view on the device. Contact your
carrier to have them assign the event to you
as a proposed edit from the Fleet Manager.
You will rst need to certify your log before
the administrator can propose an edit.
Q: What if I Accept an Unidentied
Driver event by mistake?
A: You can undo accepting an Unidentied
Driver event by tapping the event in your
log, tapping the Undo button and adding an
annotation. This changes the event on your
log to Inactive – Changed and back to Active
on the Unidentied Driver’s log.
If the driver who should have accepted the
event is your co-driver, you can reassign
the event to them if they are also currently signed in. Tap on the driving event and
tap Reassign. Enter your password when
prompted, select your co-driver from the
list, enter an Annotation (comment), and
tap Reassign. Your co-driver must then
enter their password to approve the change.
The driving event will be removed from your
log and added to your co-driver’s log, and

Data diagnostics warnings 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 symbols and warnings area 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.
An ELD compliance malfunction appears on your device as a popup notification icon that sits on top of all applications. The icon will
include the malfunction description. The example shown is a Timing
Compliance malfunction. The warning maybe moved to a different
area of the screen by using your finger.
A compliance malfunction cannot be dismissed, it must be corrected before you continue using the device as an ELD. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for common causes and resolutions. If you are not able to immediately resolve the malfunction, you must continue keeping paper logs until the device is once again compliant.
Per FMCSA requirement, a driver must document the occurrence
of a compliance malfunction, notify their carrier in writing within 24
hours, and reconstruct your record of duty status for the current
24-hour period on a paper log. If the malfunction prevents you
from accessing your logs on the device, you must reconstruct your
previous 7 consecutive days of logs on paper as well.
WARNING: If you are not able to immediately resolve the malfunction, you must begin keeping
paper logs until the device is once again compliant. 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
seven consecutive days..

• You should never use the eRODS transfer process unless instructed by an
enforcement officer
• The driver sending the eRODS must be On Driver status.
• If additional comments (other than the enforcement officer’s code) are entered in
the comments field, the enforcement officer will need to open the log in the eRODS
system to view that information.
• If the electronic means for transferring data is unavailable or fails, the driver can still
be compliant by showing either a printout or the actual ELD display of their eRODS.
