Personal Use (PU)
Current regulations allow up to 75 km of driving for personal use for drivers. This provision allows you to drive to the nearest rest area, drive home, and more. The ELD will prompt you to add a pre-defined remark or type a different reason when changing to Personal Use (PU) during vehicle operation.
Selecting Personal Use (PU) Status:
- From the Home Screen, tap Personal.
- Tap OK.
- The Remark for ON-DUTY pop-up appears, check a box (if applicable) and/or tap OK to continue.
- The Remark for PU pop-up appears, check the applicable box or enter a remark on the Other line, then tap OK.
- If there is an ignition-off event, you will be prompted to either exit or continue the Personal Use status upon ignition on.
A warning pop-up appears to confirm you would like to change your status to Personal Use.
Your status is changed to Personal Use.
Once you have reached the 75 Km limit you will receive a notification and you will be automatically switched to Driving duty status.

Selecting Yard Move (YM) Status:
- From the Home Screen, tap Yard.
- Tap OK.
- The Remark for ON-DUTY pop-up appears, check a box (if applicable) and/or tap OK to continue.
