Exploring the Home Screen

The Driver Portal Home screen allows you to manage your duty status without signing in to an electronic logging device.

To update your status:

Once you have successfully signed in, the Home screen appears and displays your open status and the corresponding start time (date and time) of your current open status.

  1. From the home screen, click Change My Status.

The Change My Status screen appears.

  1. Choose an applicable status from the Change My Status To drop-down menu.
  2. Enter your current city.
  3. Choose the current state from the State/Province drop-down menu.
  4. Click Save in the upper-right corner to update your status.

The Home screen appears with your updated status, indicating your changes have been recorded.

Exploring the HOS Screen

From the HOS screen, you can access the Conflict Report, view your logs, print multiple logs, and change your status.

Change My Status

The Change My Status page allows you to change your status from Off Duty to On Duty and vice versa.

This does not replace properly signing out of a device.

Use the Change My Status page to record on-duty activities that do not take place in or near a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). Such activities may include:

  • Work performed at the home terminal or shipping facility, before or after your vehicle is available.
  • Time spent giving or receiving training.
  • Time spent providing a sample for drug/alcohol testing, including travel to and from the collection site.
  • Time spent doing any other work for a motor carrier, including driving a company car.

If your current status is an automatic (ELD-recorded) Driving event, you will not be permitted to change your status on the portal until the device has updated the host with the end of the drive.

  • If you forget to sign out of the device at the end of your shift, you will need to return to the vehicle and sign out.
  • Then allow the device to communicate that status change to the host before making any log edits on the driver portal.
  • Once you are signed out of the device and your logs on the portal show their current status as off duty, then you can safely edit logs as needed.

The following information is listed on the Change My Status Page:

  • Name and Date – The driver’s name and the current date, including the time zone. * Time zone is based on your current home terminal.
  • Open Status – Your last reported duty status.
  • Start Time – The date and time when your open status started, adjusted for the time zone of your current home terminal.

To change your duty status:

  1. Verify that the Name and Date are correct, including the time zone (which should be the time zone of your current home terminal).
    • If the name is not correct, sign out immediately and sign in using your own ID and password.
    • If the time zone is not correct for your home terminal, sign out immediately and contact your supervisor before using this page.
  2. Verify that the Open Status and Start Time (adjusted for your current home terminal time zone) are correct. If the status and/or start time are not correct, contact your supervisor to correct your driver log.
  3. Select the appropriate duty status from the Change My Status To drop-down list.
  4. Enter the name of the City. If you are outside city limits, enter the name of the nearest city, town, or other population center.
  5. Select the State or Province.
  6. Click the Save button.

If you make a mistake, you can click the Cancel button at any time to return to the previous web page without changing your duty status.

* If you have used the Change My Status page to record an on-duty activity and you will NOT be signing in to a mobile logging device at the conclusion of that activity, be sure to use the Change My Status page to change your status to Off Duty (OFF) when you are relieved from duty.

      2. The proposed edit is applied to your log and your remaining hours are recalculated accordingly. The original event displays a status of Inactive – Changed. Use the annotation icon (plus sign) to add annotations to the log event, if needed.

    2. To reject, click the red thumbs-down icon.

      3. The proposed edit is updated and displays inactive-rejected on your log. Use the annotation icon (plus sign) to add annotations to the log event, if needed.
