Hours of Service

Driving logs for the current day and the past seven days can be 

viewed under Hours of Service. As a driver you have the ability 

to add, delete, and make edits to your records of duty status.

You may find it easier to 

view the Hours of Service page

 in 

landscape mode so the entire graph is visible on the screen 

without having to scroll.

Below the graph each duty status is displayed with time, 

duration, location, and any notes you have added. Tapping a 

status record will highlight it on the graph so you can easily 

check and edit your logs.

Tap the green "+" button at the bottom-right to open the HOS 

menu. Here you can add a new duty status, certify your logs, 

select a different day's logs to view, or claim adverse or 

emergency conditions.

Adding a Record of Duty Status

To manually add a duty status tap the green "+" button and 

select "Add Duty Status". This will open the status 

entry

 screen.

Tap the duty status you want to enter and add any relevant 

notes. Your current time and location will be automatically 

added. Tap the "Time at Home Terminal" field to enter the duty 

status at a previous time.

You may enter a duty status at any time as long as it doesn't 

conflict with automatically recorded drive time.

You can also quickly set your duty status by tapping the blue 

circle in the "Current Load Out" section of the Home page, or by 

clicking the duty status shown at the top of the Available Hours 

screen.

Editing a Record of Duty Status

To edit a duty status, tap the "EDIT" icon to

 the 

right of the duty 

status you want to change. This will bring up the detail screen 

where you can adjust the time, select a different duty status, 

modify your notes, or delete the duty status entirely.

All edits to a duty status require a note of at least four characters.

FMCSA Mandate Requirement: 

If the BIT ELD adapter 

detected the vehicle as in motion, then the driving status will be 

locked and cannot be edited. Messages will alert you if this 

occurs.
