This Release Notes announcement is for ELD Flex iOS and Android users.

What’s New

iOS Users

DVIR

  • An additional timer appears at the the bottom of the DVIR screen when performing an inspection.

 
Yard Moves
When the current status is Yard Moves, the app will switch from “yard move” to “driving” status if:

  • The driver inputs the “driving” mode;
  • The vehicle exceeds a speed of 20 mph; or
  • The vehicle exits a geo-fenced motor carrier facility

How it works: The motor carrier should enable and set the Yard Moves Radius through the Portal > Terminals page. If the vehicle’s current location exits within the geo-fence of the motor carrier facility, the Yard Moves status will be switched automatically to Driving.
 
US Regulations

  • When account property (hos.use.fmcsa.regulation0520) for the new FMCSA changes is set to true:
    – Driver is not on violation if the 8 hour driving time is not accumulated since the last 10 hour reset, and can take a 30-minute break on any duty status other than driving.
    – Driver in Short Haul can be on duty for up to 14 hours and in a radius of 150 air mile radius from default reporting site.
    – In Adverse Driving Condition, driver’s clock is set with 2 hours of additional drive time and 2 hours of additional shift time without violation.
  • When a vehicle is in motion and no status change or intermediate event was made in the past hour, an intermediate event is created while in any current status
