About This Guide

About DriverConnect

DriverConnect is an integrated platform that consists of the DriverConnect app installed on an Android™based device (a tablet or a smartphone), a cloudbased web portal, and a Rand McNally ELD.

The ELD automatically gathers data as you drive, and sends the data to your Android™ device or tablet over Bluetooth ® .

DriverConnect uses an internet connection (cellular or Wi-Fi™) from your Android™ device to store that data in a cloud-based online account.

DriverConnect:

 Automatically calculates your Hours of Service (HOS).

 Displays work timers that tell you how much time you have left in your driving session, driving shift, work day, and work cycle.

 Displays break timers that calculate time left in your break, and how long until your work cycle restarts.

 Displays gauges with details about your engine’s performance.

 Creates driving logs for Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) inspections.

 Enables messaging services between drivers and fleet managers.

 Stores more than 6 months of driving logs in the DriverConnect

Cloud services.

 Provides certifiable Driver-Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR).

 Automatically tracks your state-to-state driving for IFTA reporting.

 Allows you to take and store a picture of your fuel receipt.

 Provides forms-based workflows for completing common tasks.

About This Guide

Terminology

These terms are used throughout this guide:

 ELD is short for Electronic Logging Device. An ELD connects directly to your truck and send information over Bluetooth ® to your

Android™ device or tablet. Your ELD refers to the specific Rand

McNally ELD installed in your vehicle, such as the ELD 50 or DC 200.

 Your Android™ Device means the Android™-based smartphone or tablet on which you have installed and use the DriverConnect app.

 HOS means your Hours of Service. This is the amount of time spent

On Duty, Driving, in the Sleeper Berth, and Off Duty.

 A DVIR is a Driver-Vehicle Inspection Report. You need to complete one before and after each driving session.

 IFTA is the International Fuel Tax Agreement. DriverConnect automatically tracks your state-to-state driving for easier IFTA reporting.

 Your Fleet Manager is the individual at your organization who typically interacts with drivers by managing logs and reports, performing dispatch, etc.

 A Law Enforcement Officer (or LEO ) may request to see your

Logbook on a traffic stop to ensure compliance. DriverConnect has a special Inspection Mode for these situations.

 The DriverConnect Portal is the web-based component of

DriverConnect that allows you to access reports and driving history, plus additional features not available in the app. You can access the portal at: https://driverconnect.randmcnally.com

You can view details in the

DriverConnect portal for each separate Trip Name, Tractor

Number, and Trailer Number you use.



31


Log Driving Time

When you start driving, you automatically enter Driving (D) status when connected to an ELD.

Since DriverConnect uses minute-byminute data for the most accurate drive time logs, your status switches between

Driving and On Duty automatically.

 When the truck first reaches a set threshold speed after going On Duty, your status automatically changes to

Driving (D).

 Once you stop for 3 seconds, you can change your status from Driving to any other status.

 If you have been stopped for 5 minutes, and have not already switched your status, the app automatically switches you to On Duty.

 When you reach the set threshold speed again, your status switches back to Driving.

 If you stop the engine, the app automatically switches from Driving to On Duty.

This automatic switching is designed to maximize your drive time while maintaining compliance. By automatically switching back to On Duty when you stop, you can gain valuable time back in your legal driving limits. The threshold speed to transition in and out of driving can be set by fleet manager on the DriverConnect portal.
