In the Samsara Driver App, you can view HOS dials to monitor your progress toward your applicable HOS limits, based on your ruleset.
To help prevent violations, Samsara also adjusts the HOS dials to reflect your most constraining limit. For example, if your daily travel time has a cap of 13 hours, but your cycle is near its end and only allows 5 hours, the dials will reflect your progress toward the lower limit.
The dials that you see in the Samsara Driver App differ based on your region and associated rulesets:
The four dials (or clocks) in the Samsara Driver App represent how many hours and minutes remain for your Break, Drive, Shift, and Cycle clocks. From the home screen, tap HoS to view the HOS dials in detail.
-
Break clock: Top left dial. Displays the shift time remaining until the 30-minute break.
-
Drive clock: Top right dial. Displays the shift drive time remaining until a 10-hour break is required.
-
Shift clock: Bottom left dial. Displays On Duty status time before you must take a 10-hour break (commonly referred to as daily limit).
-
Cycle clock: Bottom right dial. Displays the time remaining on your cycle; typically represents a 7/8 day or weekly limit.
Dial rings are color-coded to indicate the violation status:
-
Blue ring clock dial: No violation.
-
Yellow ring clock dial: Nearing violation.
-
Red ring clock dial: In violation.
If you enabled popup notifications for the Samsara Driver App, you will receive a popup notification on your phone when you are nearing the time limits set for these violations.

The HOS dials are represented as clocks that display how much time is left for Drive, On Duty, Shift, Off Duty, and Cycle and vary depending on your region.
For Canada South:
-
The top left dial is the Drive clock which counts down from 13 hours and shows the remaining drive time in a driver’s shift and day.
-
The top middle dial is the On Duty clock which counts down from 14 hours and shows the remaining on duty time in a driver’s shift and day.
-
The top right dial is the Total Shift clock which counts down from 16 hours, starting when you first go On Duty.
-
The bottom left dial is the Off Duty clock which counts down from 10 hours.
-
The four bars within the dial represent the 2 hours of off duty that must be taken separately from the 8 consecutive hours of off duty.
-
Each bar counts down from 30 minutes and if a break exceeds 30 minutes, the next bar begins counting down.
-
-
The bottom right dial is the Cycle clock which counts down from 70 or 120 hours, depending on the selected cycle.
For Canada North:
-
The top left dial is the Drive clock which counts down from 15 hours and shows the remaining drive time in a driver’s shift.
-
The top middle dial is the On Duty clock which counts down from 18 hours and shows the remaining on duty time in a driver’s shift.
-
The top right dial is the Total Shift clock which counts down from 20 hours, starting when you first go On Duty.
-
The bottom left dial is the Off Duty clock which counts down from 8 hours.
-
The bottom right dial is the Cycle clock which counts down from 80 or 120 hours, depending on the selected cycle.
The color surrounding any of these dials appears red when you are in violation. You will also receive a popup notification on your phone when you are nearing the time limits set for these violations. You will only receive popup notifications if you have your notifications turned on for the app.

Use the image above along with the following list to understand the elements of the Off Duty dial:
-

-
A timer that counts down to signify how much total off-duty time is left in the day
-
(Canada South only) Four separate break bars that each represent a 30 minute break. When breaks are taken, these bars will deplete (if 30 minute minimum is met).
