System Overview The Driver Application is an ELD Compliant Electronic Hours of Service Solution that is very easy to use, and will help the driver save a lot of time while going through their day. The driver does not have to worry about changing their duty status or completing their logs and marking locations. The Application does all of that for them. There are only three (3) steps required to use the system as a Driver goes through their day. Each of those steps will be discussed in the following pages of this manual. This guide should be carried in the Vehicle Cab and used as a reference manual should the Driver need help with the system. There are many other features incorporated into the Driver Application. The driver should refer to the full manual for descriptions and usage of those additional features and functions. Page: 3
