Duty Status Change Alert
If the user remains in “Driving,” RoadLog
will prompt the driver to change duty
status.
Location Indication
Note:
The vehicle location at duty
status change is captured automatically
by GPS, accurate to within 3 yards.
RoadLog associates this GPS location
with the closest large population
location based on Census Data. It may
happen that this location is further away
from you than another location that
you know is closer. For example, if the
vehicle is in Fogelsville, PA the system
will label it as 7 miles West of Allentown,
PA since Allentown, PA is the location
with the larger population and better
known to law enforcement. This is
consistent with requirements in FMCSA
ELD regulations.
Tasks
Entering “Trailer Numbers and
“Shipment Documents” is required
as” part of your HOS record. Use the
specific buttons to perform those
actions.
“Vehicle Fueling” entries are optional.
However, if used they help in preparing
accurate records for IFTA filing.
Some versions of RoadLog allow for
instant communication with the dispatch
office via the “Messages” button. Also,
the dispatcher can assign a load to a
vehicle remotely. This information is
available from the “Loads” button level.
