FAQs
What can I filter or sort by in the Trips section?
You can filter by date range, trip status, vehicle, driver, and other criteria. Sorting options include start time, distance, and duration.
Why do unidentified trips occur?
Unidentified trips occur when a driver doesn’t connect to the Vehicle Gateway, leaving the trip without a driver assignment.
How do I assign an unidentified trip to a driver?
Select the trip, click Assign, choose the driver, and save your changes.
Can I assign or annotate multiple trips at once?
Yes, use the bulk assign and annotate features to update several trips at the same time, which helps save time and ensures efficient management
What is the difference between Unidentified and Unbound trips?
Unidentified trip: An unidentified trip happens when the ELD records a driving event without identifying a specific Driver. These trips occur when no one is connected to the vehicle while driving. Identifying unidentified trips is crucial to ensure accurate and compliant ELD data.
Unbound trip: An unbound trip occurs when the ELD records the start time of a driving event but does not register the end time. In other words, the ELD thinks the driving event is still ongoing. Handle unbound trips to maintain data accuracy and prevent ongoing trip errors.
| Note: Fleets must annotate all log edits, including assigning or annotating trips. Ensure each unidentified trip is properly annotated or assigned if log maintenance is required. |
