Duty Status
Changes
If the BIT ELD adapter detects vehicle movement over 5 miles
per hour the app will automatically set your status to Driving. This
is a feature required by the FMCSA ELD Mandate.
If the BIT ELD adapter detects that the vehicle has stopped for 5
minutes and your duty status is still set to Driving, the app will
prompt you to see if you are still driving.
•
If you select No you will be taken to the
duty status entry
screen to change your duty status.
•
If you select Yes you will be left on Driving.
•
If there is no response within one minute of the prompt, the
ELD will automatically change your duty status to On Duty
Not Driving.
To help maximize your drive time, the On Duty Not Driving status
will be entered at the beginning of the six minutes of stationary
time.
The Blue Ink Tech app will only change your duty status from
Driving to On Duty Not Driving after the interval described above.
If you turn off your vehicle or disconnect from the ELD adapter by
moving outside of Bluetooth range before the 6-minute interval,
you will remain set to Driving.
Duty Status and Logging Out
We recommend going Off Duty and logging out of the app at the
end of your shift.
Remaining in Driving, Yard Move, or On Duty Not Driving will
cause your available hours to be incorrect when you next log in to
the app.
To help prevent this from happening, the Blue Ink Tech app will
send a notification if you are in an on-duty status while the app is
closed.
Be sure that you have allowed notifications from the app
in your device settings.
