A driver's log is comprised of automatically recorded drive time by the ELD and manually recorded status changes set by the driver.
When drivers Go Off Duty at the end of their shift, they certify their log from HoS > Log in the Samsara Driver App. If you allow Drivers Can Edit Certified Log in Customizable HOS Settings drivers can also edit HOS Logs if any corrections are needed.
After a driver has certified logs, if you need to make any corrections, you can add a remark or edit as permitted by regulations from the Samsara dashboard. When suggesting edits to driver logs, keep the following in mind:
-
You can suggest edits for up to 6 months of certified logs.
-
ELD regulations prohibit carriers from editing automatically recorded drive time. See ELD Mandate on Driver Approvals for detailed terminology. If you need to edit a Driving (ELD) status change due to duty status misattribution, you can use the Ignore a Driving Segment feature.
-
After any corrections are made, the driver must accept the suggested corrections to complete the edit.
To edit the log for a driver:
-
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.
See Ignore a Driving Segment for more information and to enable this option.
-
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.
