About This Guide
About DriverConnect
DriverConnect is an integrated platform that
consists of the DriverConnect app installed on an
iOS™-based device (such as an iPhone™ or iPad™),
a cloud-based web portal, and a Rand McNally ELD.
The ELD automatically gathers data as you drive,
and sends the data to your iOS™ device or tablet over Bluetooth®.
DriverConnect uses an internet connection (cellular or Wi-Fi™) from
your iOS™ 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.
 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.

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 iOS™
device or tablet. Your ELD refers to the specific Rand McNally ELD
installed in your vehicle, such as the ELD 50, DC 200, or DC 200S.
 Your iOS™ Device means the iPhone™ or iPad™ 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

Set Up DriverConnect
To set up the DriverConnect app for the first time, you need to either
create a new account, or log in with an existing Driver ID.
You also need a Rand McNally Electronic Logging Device (ELD). This
user guide applies to all ELD hardware that is part of the
DriverConnect suite. Supported ELD devices include:
 ELD 50: Installs in seconds directly on a 9 pin or 6 pin JBUS
interface. The ELD 50 is available in both 6 pin and 9 pin
configurations. The ELD 50 has Bluetooth connectivity.
 DC 200: A telematics gateway allows electronic logging and fleet
management in a sleek, low-profile design. The DC 200 connects to
the Engine JBUS connector using a cable, and also has a built-in
cellular modem, WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Log Driving Time
When you start driving, you automatically
enter DRIVING (D) status when
connected to an ELD.
Since DriverConnect uses second-bysecond 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.
