Logs Have Been Removed
Problem:
The driver's logs can no longer be found
Solution:
- Find out whether or not the truck was at a shop recently and was re-imaged.
- Re-imaging the unit will wipe out all current data stored on the unit, and if this data hasn't been uploaded to FleetWatcher, there is a chance this data will not be recoverable.
- Make sure Logs are uploaded to FleetWatcher before re-imaging the TruckPC.
- Check to see if the driver switched trucks around the time logs were lost.
- If the driver switched trucks improperly, various issues can occur-
- Driver is still logged into old truck and therefore logs were not sent up to the backend, and upon logging into to the new truck no data is found and it pulls down blank or missing info.
- When the driver logged out of the old truck the unit was not communicating and therefore any data not sent to the back end can't send up, and upon logging into to the new truck no data is found and it pulls down blank or missing info.
- The driver didn't go to "HOS Logs" à "Options" à "Change Trucks" before logging out. As this helps to secure data be properly stored to the backend.
- If none of the above issues are the cause, please call in to technical support.

No GPS
Problem:
The unit's GPS is not functioning correctly.
Solution:
- Check connections to see if the antenna cables have come loose:
- Have the driver locate the TruckPC and verify the three coax cables are secure. (These are the only threaded cables attached to the TruckPC).
- If the truck is equipped with an indoor antenna, review the installation guidelines and ensure that the antenna is a minimum of 4 inches from the metal frame around the window, if it is not shop techs will need to move it further away.
- Have the driver log out of the device.
- Press the power button
- Once the unit has gone to a black screen, wait 30 seconds then power it back on.
- Log on when asked to submit your Driver ID.
- Check to see if GPS locations are now accurate in DriverTech's system.
- Check to make sure Copilot shows an accurate GPS by checking your position on the map.
- If the Driver is in a low GPS area, for example next to a building, have driver move the vehicle to a different location.
- If the above steps have not resolved the issue, we can conclude that this is a GPS Hardware issue and will need to be routed to a shop.
