Geotab Drive / ELD Updates
Improved Visibility of Unverified Logs — To help drivers find and resolve their unverified logs faster, these logs are now highlighted in Geotab Drive for improved visibility. A notification at the top of the screen will also alert drivers to action required.
ELD Exemptions by Motor Carriers — Motor carriers can now configure ELD exemptions in driver accounts via MyGeotab. To set an exemption for a particular driver, the administrator must go to Administration > Users, and select the user. On the User Edit page, HOS Settings tab, go to the Ruleset field and select Carrier Exemption from the dropdown menu. Carriers will be prompted to enter an annotation to document the reason for the exemption.
Driver’s Acceptance/Rejection of Carrier Edits — Duty Status Log entries made by users who are not the driver are added as pending requests. The driver must either accept or reject logs that have been changed by an administrator or authorized user. The driver must then verify the logs. Driver certification is intended, in part, to protect drivers from unilateral changes.
One Driver Account Per Driver’s License — Per ELD requirements, a restriction has been set so that only one driver account can be associated with a driver’s license number at a given motor carrier. License information on ELD reports complies with ELD requirements. Also be aware that the driver’s license number and state/province must be set at the same time.
