Change Duty status

  1. On the Hours of Service landing page, tap your current duty status.
  2. Tap the desired duty status from the list to change. (Tap BACK to cancel and remain in your currently selected duty status.)

When you are not connected to an asset you can only change your duty status to:

  • On duty not driving (shown in orange)
  • Off duty (shown in grey)
  • Off duty at a well site – only if you are making use of an oil field rule set.
  1. Enter an optional annotation (remark).
  2. Tap YES.
  3. Your new duty status will be displayed in the bar at the top.

!!! note "" When you are in a special driving condition, you will need to end this before making changes to your duty status.

The Remain driving? prompt asks if you are still driving if no motion has been detected for 5 minutes. If you do not respond within 1 minute, EasyELD automatically changes your duty status to On-Duty Not Driving, as required by ELD mandate 4.4.1.2. This behavior is always on.

Respond to the Remain Driving prompt

  1. Open EasyELD when the Remain driving? prompt appears.
  2. Respond to the prompt within 1 minute to keep your Driving status.

Keep EasyELD open on your device while you drive. This makes sure you see the prompt and can respond in time.

If you stop for more than 6 minutes, your duty status changes to On-Duty Not Driving regardless of whether the app was open.
