Changing Duty Status

For the most accurate records, you must change your duty status in the Garmin eLog™ app every time you change your driving status, such as when you start driving, take a break, switch drivers, or change the type of driving you are doing. The Garmin eLog adapter automatically switches to driving status when the vehicle's diagnostic port reports a speed greater than or equal to five miles per hour. The vehicle is stopped when the diagnostic port reports a speed of zero miles per hour.

NOTE: The vehicle must be stopped to change duty status. You cannot manually change duty status while you are driving.
  1. From the Garmin eLog app, select Change duty status.
  2. Select an option:
    NOTE: The Personal Conveyance and Yard Moves options are available only if the administrator has enabled them for your driver profile (Editing a Driver Profile).

    • If you are on duty, select On Duty.

    • If you are off duty, select Off Duty.

    • If you are on duty and driving, select Driving.

    • If you are moving to the sleeper berth, select Sleeper Berth.

    • If you are using the vehicle for personal conveyance, select Personal Conveyance.

    • If you are moving the vehicle within the yard, select Yard Moves.
