Introduction
Motive now supports setting vehicle regulation mode as ‘Unregulated (non-CMV)’. Drivers will need to update their application to Version 53 (or above) on the Motive driver application to use this functionality.
How Unregulated (Non-CMV) Mode Helps You
The Unregulated (Non-CMV) mode supports mixed fleets with the ability to configure a vehicle as Unregulated to help ensure fleets can retain the ability to track telematics information (for example: GPS, odometers or mileage) without impacting the driver’s ELD outputs (for example: log pdf or output file).
| Note: This is intended for ELD drivers operating both regulated and unregulated vehicles. |
Guidance for ELD drivers using Non-CMVs
If an ELD driver operates motor vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of 10,000 pounds or less at the direction of a motor carrier, the FMCSA requires those drivers to maintain records of Duty status and record such time operating as On-duty (not driving).
Regulations
The exemption to HOS and CDL rules for non-CMV vehicles is mentioned in both US and Canadian regulations. For more details, please visit these Exemptions to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations page and the following links to see which vehicles fall under non-CMV definition 49 CFR 390.5 (US) and SOR/2005-313 s.1 (Canada).
