Duty statuses classify a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver's activities during a specific period and are recorded in the driver's log. Accurate recording of the duty statuses is essential for compliance with FMCSA and Canada’s Hours of Service (HOS) regulations.
To review how Samsara automatically updates driver status based on your regional mandates, refer to Automatically Update Driver Status (Auto-Duty).
Note
If you have an ELD Exemption in the Samsara Dashboard, you will not be able to use the HOS functionality in the Samsara Driver App.
Use the following workflow to manually set duty statuses in the Samsara Driver App:
-
Within the Home view, tap the HoS tile.
-
Tap the duty status bar.
-
Select a duty status.
Note
If your location cannot be determined, the Samsara Driver App prompts you to either continue without a location, or to cancel and first choose your location. For more information, see Missing Location. If you set your location, repeat this step to select the duty status.
-
(Optional) Add a remark to describe the status selection.
-
Save changes.
