Important
According to the ELD mandate:
-
Automatic driving time may not otherwise be re-assigned and may never be cumulatively changed.
-
An ELD must not allow automatically recorded driving time to be shortened or the ELD username associated with an ELD record to be edited or reassigned, except under limited circumstances as defined in the ELD mandate.
Refer to section 4.3.2.8.2. Driver Edit Limitations FMCSA and Transport Canada ELD Technical Specifications.
If you need to update a Driving (ELD) status misattribution due to user error, such as when a driver forgets to sign out of the ELD and a mechanic moves the vehicle, you can annotate the driver log with Ignore Driving Segment. This will readjust the driver’s remaining hours, clear related HOS violations (if applicable) and update the HOS clocks on the Samsara Driver App with the ignored driving time to help with the admin and driver’s workflow.
While all dashboard reports and API endpoints will reflect the new duty status, the Ignore Driving Segment annotation displays in the Datafile and does not remove the Driving (ELD) time from the Datafile, emailed logs, or officer-facing screens. Inspecting officials will be able to view remarks in the Annotations section when viewing the duty status event detail. The officer will consider this remark when evaluating if the driver is in violation.
To edit a driver log with Ignore Driving Segment:
-
You must be a full admin or have a custom role with Driver Logs - Ignore Essentials permissions.
-
Drivers must be on Samsara Driver App version 2130.100 and above in order to see clocks and for violations to accurately reflect the new status.
-
From the Samsara dashboard, select Compliance (
) > Driver HOS.
-
Select the name of the driver.
To narrow the results, use the Search or apply Tags.
-
Select the date range of interest.
-
Select the date of the log you want to edit.
Note
Per ELD mandate requirements, you can only edit logs after they have been certified by a driver. The ability to edit logs will be unavailable (grayed out) until the driver certifies the logs.
-
(Optional) To navigate directly to a status change in the log, click on the segment from the log chart or highlight multiple segments to edit.
-
Click Edit to the right of any individual segment.
For automatically recorded drive time, click Remark to add a comment.
-
Select a Start time and End time for the segment you want to edit. Use the left and right arrows to quickly jump to the next time segment.
-
(Optional) Select the Status you want to apply to this time segment.
If you are only editing the vehicle assignment, you can leave the status as Unchanged.
-
Select the Vehicle assigned to the driver during this time segment. If the current vehicle assignment is correct, select Unchanged. To remove a vehicle assignment, select None.
-
Enter a brief explanatory Remark about the edit.
-
Select Ignore Driving Segment to recalculate the driver's clock status to Off Duty, On Duty, Personal Conveyance, or Sleeper Berth.
-
Click Next.
-
Select the correct Driving (ELD) Status.
-
Save your edits.
After Samsara saves the correction, you can toggle between Show Pending Edits and Hide Pending Edits option to compare the original log to the corrected log. The Samsara dashboard highlights pending edits in yellow and hides the
Odometervalue until the driver reviews and accepts the changes. The Samsara Driver App displays a red banner to Review Carrier Edits on the main HOS screen as well as on any individual log where pending edits exist. -
The driver reviews the edits in the Samsara Driver App and either accepts or rejects the edits.
To view the driver workflow for carrier edit suggestions in the Samsara Driver App, see Approval of Carrier Edits.
When the driver accepts the edit, the dashboard displays the correction with an annotation:
After you enable Ignore Driving Segment, and the driver accepts the edits, the Samsara Driver App annotates the shift and reflects the changes. The Samsara Driver App provides the following driver experience to review the carrier edits:
-
From the Daily Log, the driver taps Review Carrier Edits.
-
The driver reviews the edit and the admin remark. If the driver accepts the edit, the HOS clocks reflect the new duty status.
-
During a Roadside Inspection, the edit displays as a remark in the driver log.
