Important Notification of Upcoming Update

In response to guidance from the FMCSA, DriverTech is introducing an update to the way driving detected statuses are managed within the FleetWatcher portal.

With this update, admins will no longer be able to edit automatically recorded drive time by changing it to Yard Move or Personal Use. Driving statuses will be grayed out when the status has been selected for editing. The manager will still be able to add or change a remark that has been entered to provide details for driving statuses that are created erroneously. Enforcement inspectors are trained to watch for and take into account these remarks when auditing a driver's log. 

These changes will be made active as of 09/01/2021

Please review the following guidance from FMCSA (https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/hours-service/elds/editing-and-annotations) and contact support if you have questions about these changes.

!!! IMPORTANT ROADSIDE AUDIT INFORMATION !!!
Customer Information on ENFORCEMENT VIEW during a ROADSIDE Audit

 

DriverTech customer's in-office personnel can copy and paste the message below in order to send it to their drivers as a fleet-wide message:

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.

DriverTech developed a video that shows this process here: http://docs.drivertech.com/display/SU/Training+Videos

NOTE: This is for DT4000 Rev 7 devices ONLY.

Please keep in mind, we use 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.

 Thank you!
