Personal Use and Yard Moves

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:

  1. From the Home Screen, tap Personal.
  2. A warning pop-up appears to confirm you would like to change your status to Personal Use.

  3. Tap OK.
  4. The Remark for ON-DUTY pop-up appears, check a box (if applicable) and/or tap OK to continue.
  5. The Remark for PU pop-up appears, check the applicable box or enter a remark on the Other line, then tap OK.
  6. Your status is changed to Personal Use.

  7. If there is an ignition-off event, you will be prompted to either exit or continue the Personal Use status upon ignition on.
  8. Once you have reached the 75 Km limit you will receive a notification and you will be automatically switched to Driving duty status.

Yard Move (YM)

The ELD also allows you to drive the vehicle inside a yard. To do so, switch to Yard Move (YM) before putting the vehicle in motion.

Selecting Yard Move (YM) Status:

  1. From the Home Screen, tap Yard.
  2. A warning pop-up appears to confirm you would like to change your status to Yard Move.

  3. Tap OK.

    If the vehicle’s speed exceeds 32 km/h you will be automatically switched to Driving duty status.
