Personal Use and Yard Moves options are not displayed when editing an event (both via Legacy Editing and Grid View Editing mode)

Created Events

Upon logging in and logging out of the HOS app, as well as connecting and disconnecting to a VBUS Device, new event types will display on the Event History List. The New Event Types are as follows:

Certify
Remark - with a note of “Authenticate” (if logging in) or “Unauthenticate” (if logging out)
ELD Login - event that will be recorded when app is connected to VBUS Device
ELD Logout - event that will be recorded when app is disconnected to VBUS Device

Note: Auto events created are recorded in the app with a note stating: “Automatic Transition”

Personal Use - If this is enabled, the status will be set to Off Duty automatically and will disable the Yard Moves checkbox. Selection of this option will be recorded within the events history list.
Yard Moves - If this is enabled, the status will be set to On Duty automatically and will disable the Personal Use checkbox. Selection of this option will be recorded within the events history list.

Note: Not all of the events statuses are displayed on the grid chart. Personal Use and Yard Moves are also displayed on the grid chart as an Amber color line to be visually different with the other event statuses, a dashed line represents the Personal Use event and a dotted line represents the Yard Moves event. The legends for Personal Use and Yard Moves event will only display when the said events occurred. A driver’s indication that the CMV is being operated for authorized personal purposes may span more than one CMV ignition on cycle if the driver proactively confirms continuation of the personal use condition prior to placing the vehicle in motion when the ELD prompts the driver at the beginning of the new ignition power on cycle. In addition, upon disabling the events "Personal Use" or "Yard Moves", it records a new event on the list stating "ClearPC or ClearYM" which indicates the clearing of the option for Personal Use and Yard Moves. Thus, it will not reflect on the grid chart.

Note: When a co-driver is log into the HOS app, the co-drivers name is displayed on the daily logs which is placed right below the grid chart.

Re-assigning driving time to a co-driver
The Primary driver is allowed to re-assign his driving status/time to his co-driver (if the co-driver logs in).

Tap the Edit icon on the edit logs screen to re-assign the status
You will need to login the Co-Driver to make it active.
You can also check on the event history list of the co-driver to confirm that the status is re-assign.
When back to main driver, check also the event history list of the main driver to confirm that the driving status is no longer there.

Note: Only driving events that are created automatically can be reassigned, non-driving events such as Login or Power On can only be annotated.

Crossing Boundaries
The border crossing calculation uses the VBUS GPS coordinates if they are available, and the android coordinates if they are not. The following instances happens when the driver crossed boundaries between Canada and US (vice versa):

If the GPS coordinates are changed to a different state or province, a remark event will be recorded in the driver log.
If the current location is in Canada, the driving rules will automatically switched to Canadian rules; similarly, if the location is in the US, the driving rules automatically switched to US rules.
If there is a co-driver logged in, both the remark and the rules changes will be occurring for them as well.

Note: These remark events will be reflected in the portal’s Logs Tab

Driving Rules
This is where you change the HOS rules or the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) regulations that govern the hours that a commercial vehicle driver can legally accumulate driving or being on duty for a motor carrier in a working day and week. This is where you also apply the HOS rules exceptions. Select the HOS rules that you would like the HOS app to use in the appropriate drop-down list. You can customize cycle, cargo, exceptions and time zone rules.

The driving rules can also be set from within the Hours of Service section (main navigation hamburger > Settings > Hours of Service). You can scroll the screen down to the Driving Rules section:

Select the appropriate HOS rules that you would like the app to use from the drop-down list. You can customize the region, cycle, cargo, exceptions and time zone rules

Cargo - this will set the applicable HOS rules for property-carrying or passenger-carrying commercial vehicles.
Available Cargo Rules Options:
- Property: the 11 and 14 hours rule will then apply
- Passenger: the 10 and 15 hours rule will then be used by the HOS app
  
  Either of the above cargo rules can be applied by selecting the appropriate rule from the drop down

Cycle - this is where you set the consecutive multi-day duty period which the driver will follow. Choosing a cycle will take into effect the corresponding legal limitations on the hours that can be used by the driver in a 7-day or 8-day working cycle. The cycle changes depending on the Country selected. Also, the cycle being used is included in the driver's Certified Logs.

Malfunction and Data Diagnostic Events

Malfunction Events
Requirement No.	Event Code	Event Name	Description
4.6.1.1	P / Power MF	Power Malfunction	An ELD must set a power compliance malfunction if the power data diagnostics event described in paragraph 4.6.1.1(a) of this appendix indicates an aggregated in-motion driving time understatement of 30 minutes or more on the ELD over a 24-hour period across all driver profiles, including the unidentified driver profile.
4.6.1.2	E / Sync MF	Engine Synchronization Malfunction	An ELD must set an engine synchronization compliance malfunction if connectivity to any of the required data sources specified in section 4.3.1 of this 87 appendix is lost for more than 30 minutesduring a 24-hour period aggregated across all driver profiles, including the unidentified driver profile.
4.6.1.3	T / Timing MF	Timing Malfunction	The ELD must periodically cross-check its compliance with the requirement specified in section 4.3.1.5 of this appendix with respect to an accurate external UTC source and must record a timing compliance malfunction when it can no longer meet the underlying compliance requirement.
4.6.1.4	L / Pos MF	Position Malfunction	ELD records requiring location information must use the last valid position measurement and include the latitude/longitudecoordinates and distance traveled, in miles, since the last valid position measurement. An ELD must monitor elapsed time during periods when the ELD fails to acquire a valid position measurement within 5 miles of the CMV’s movement. When such elapsed time exceeds a cumulative 60 minutes over a 24 hour period, the ELD must set and record a positioning compliance malfunction.
4.6.1.5	R / DR MF	Data Recording Malfunction	An ELD must monitor its storage capacity and integrity and must detect a data recording compliance malfunction if it can no longer record or retain required events or retrieve recorded logs that are not otherwise catalogued remotely by the motor carrier.
4.6.1.7	S / Trans MF	Data Transfer Malfunction	(a) An ELD must implement in-service monitoring functions to verify that the data transfer mechanism(s) described in section 4.9.1 of this appendix are continuing to function properly. An ELD must verify this functionality at least once every 7 days. These monitoring functions may be automatic or may involve manual steps for a driver. (c) After an ELD records a data transfer data diagnostic event, the ELD must increase the frequency of the monitoring function to check at least once every 24-hour period. If the ELD stays in the unconfirmed data transfer mode following the next three 90 consecutive monitoring checks, the ELD must detect a data transfer compliance malfunction.
4.1.6.8	O / Other MF	Other Malfunction	In addition to the required monitoring schemes described in sections 4.6.1.1– 4.6.1.7 of this appendix, the ELD provider may implement additional, technology-specific malfunction and data diagnostic detection schemes and may use the ELD’s malfunction status indicator and data diagnostic status indicator (described in sections 4.6.2.1 and 4.6.3.1) to communicate the ELD’s malfunction or non-compliant state to the operator(s) of the ELD.

Data Diagnostic Events
Requirement No.	Event Code	Event Name	Description
4.6.1.1	1 / Pwd Diag	Power Diagnostic	An ELD must monitor data it receives from the engine ECM or alternative sources as allowed in sections 4.3.1.1-4.3.1.4 of this appendix, its onboard sensors, and data record history to identify instances when it may not have complied with the power requirements specified in section 4.3.1.1, in which case, the ELD must record a power data diagnostics event for the corresponding driver(s), or under the unidentified driver profile if no drivers were authenticated at the time of detection.
4.6.1.2	2 / Sync Diag	Engine Synchronization Diagnostic	An ELD required to establish a link to the engine ECM as described in section 4.2 must monitor its connectivity to the engine ECM and its ability to retrieve the vehicle parameters described under section 4.3.1 of this appendix and must record an engine-synchronization data diagnostics event when it no longer can acquire updated values for the ELD parameters required for records within 5 seconds of the need.
4.1.6.4 (d)	3 / Miss Diag	Missing Data Elements Diagnostic	If a new ELD event must be recorded at an instance when the ELD had failed to acquire a valid position measurement within the most recent elapsed 5 miles of driving, but the ELD has not yet set a positioning compliance malfunction, the ELD must record the character “X” in both the latitude and longitude fields, unless location is 88 entered manually by the driver, in which case it must log the character “M” instead. Under the circumstances listed in this paragraph, if the ELD event is due to a change in duty status for the driver, the ELD must prompt the driver to enter location manually in accordance with section 4.3.2.7 of this appendix. If the driver does notenter the location information and the vehicle is in motion, the ELD must record a missing required data element data diagnostic event for the driver.
4.1.6.7	4 / Tran Diag	Data Transfer Diagnostic	(b) If the monitoring mechanism fails to confirm proper in-service operation of the data transfer mechanism(s), an ELD must record a data transfer data diagnostic event and enter an unconfirmed data transfer mode.
4.6.1.6	5 / Unid Diag	Unidentified Driver DIagnostic	(b) If more than 30 minutes of driving in a 24-hour period show unidentified driver on the ELD, the ELD must detect and record an unidentified driving records data diagnostic event and the data diagnostic indicator must be turned on for all drivers logged in to that ELD for the current 24-hour period and the following 7 days. (c) An unidentified driving records data diagnostic event can be cleared by the ELD when driving time logged under the unidentified driver profile for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days drops to 15 minutes or less.
4.1.6.8	6 / Other Diag	Other Diagnostic	In addition to the required monitoring schemes described in sections 4.6.1.1– 4.6.1.7 of this appendix, the ELD provider may implement additional, technology-specific malfunction and data diagnostic detection schemes and may use the ELD’s malfunction status indicator and data diagnostic status indicator (described in sections 4.6.2.1 and 4.6.3.1) to communicate the ELD’s malfunction or non-compliant state to the operator(s) of the ELD.
