DriverTech has increased your ELDs GPS polling interval to a 10-minute frequency

NOTE: Only those accounts with a current frequency between 11 and 20 minutes have been updated. Accounts with Vehicle Settings Groups configured for 21+ minutes were not changed.
Please contact Support@DriverTech.com if you would also like your GPS polling interval to less than 20minutes.


This change is to ensure alignment with both IRP and IFTA 2024 requirements while providing carriers with heightened precision in tax reporting and many other Track and Trace use cases.

The augmented GPS location polling will impact some reports in addition to Regional Crossing and State Mileage. Integrations and other connected systems will begin receiving the additional records immediately upon the change taking place which will slightly increase the load on those systems.

These changes do not impact:

  • HOS Intermediate Positions, Trip Detail, or Deceleration reports.

    • (For further details on these reports, please refer to the Help Topics section.)

  • Accounts that are presently collecting this data more often than every 10 minutes, will remain unaffected by this adjustment and continue with their current interval.

For any inquiries regarding these changes, please reach out to the DriverTech support team at Support@DriverTech.com.

Roadside Audit Enforcement View

If a DOT Officer asks you if you can show your screen outside of your cab, the answer is yes!
You can use any smart device’s screen (cell phone, tablet, laptop) as your ELD display screen, via Enforcement View, so that it can be visible outside of the cab.

  • From your main HOS screen, go to Options, Enforcement View, and then “Learn how to send logs to a mobile device that can be handed to enforcement”
  • Follow the on-screen instructions and the smart device is now your ELD display screen.

NOTE: This is for DT4000 Rev 7 devices ONLY and employs the same concept as a BYOD provider in that the driver can use any smart device (smart phone, laptop, tablet) as the Driver’s ELD Display Screen.
What is different about the DriverTech Advanced solutions, DT4000 or DT1000, that you have is we also supply a screen in the cab to directly communicate with the ELD software.
