In the event that there is more than one assignment type for a vehicle, Samsara uses hierarchy logic to determine which driver to assign to the vehicle for use in trip histories and vehicle trips. If more than one driver has a Driving status during a trip, the driver with the most drive time is assigned to the trip history. The driver assignment will impact events such as fuel efficiency reporting and safety event associations.
For compliance reporting, Samsara uses only compliance-based assignments, such as tachograph or assignments created in the driver app from HOS logs.
The following table summarizes assignment types in order of priority from 1 (highest priority) to 8 (lowest priority):
