Considerations for Editing Log Events in the Portal:

  • To edit an event in the Portal, it must first be certified by the driver. If it is not certified, the edit and delete buttons will not be available.

  • The current duty status of a driver cannot be edited

  • You cannot add the same duty status twice in a row. For instance, if you have a transition from an Off Duty status to an On Duty status and now need to add a status in between the two, the new status cannot be Off Duty nor On Duty. The best option here is to edit the start time of either event as needed.

  • The start date and time are the best parameters to modify on an existing duty status

  • Automatically recorded driving time cannot be shortened in any way as per ELD regulations. Consider adding a Remark to explain mistake or incidental Driving time

  • The timestamp for an automatically generated driving event cannot be changed

  • Keep in mind that if you remove a duty status you are increasing the duration of the previous duty status

  • Once an edit is made on the admin portal it is sent to the driver for approval on the application. The driver can then accept or reject the edit. If accepted, it will go into effect on the logs.

How to Create Carrier Proposed Log Edits from the Portal:

1. To edit a specific log event, click on the blue pencil icon next to that event

2. On the Edit Log pop up, click the dropdown to change the duty Status. Only the duty statuses that are allowed under each specific scenario will be available.

3. Use the Date and Time fields to adjust the start time of the event

4. Use the Location field to edit the location of the log event if needed

5. Input a Remark or comment explaining the edited entry

6. Click Save This change is called a Carrier Proposed Log Edit. This proposed change will be shared with the driver, who can decide to reject or assume the carrier proposed log edit. Specific information regarding carrier proposed edits can be seen under the Log Edits menu option.
