Please note that the system will prevent any changes to status while the time change occurs. If there's a need to log out during the time change, the system will move to default status and will not allow changes to another status. After the time change is complete, the system will unlock and status changes can be made.
Please note that the time change will occur based on a driver's terminal time and whether or not that location participates in Daylight Savings Time. All hours of service (HOS) rule timers will stay the same, and no time will be lost or added to the driver's logs.
The best course of action, if possible, is to go Off Duty and allow the device to reset through Saturday night and Sunday morning. This will yield perfectly normal results with no intervention from drivers or managers. If a driver attempts to change duty status during the lockout time, an administrator will need to edit the log from FleetWatcher
If you forget to go off-duty over the time change weekend we recommend the following:
- Do not edit anything on the Sunday of the time change
- Add an Off-duty status at 00:01 on the Monday after the time change
- Download your logs for the last 8 days
- Use paper logs starting from Sunday of the time change
- Disconnect power from the unit for the next 34 hours
- PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR CURRENT STATUS IS OFF-DUTY
- Reconnect power after 34 hours and continue using the unit from there
