When you sign in to the Samsara Driver App, the app prompts you to select your vehicle. To change your vehicle or to select your trailer:
-
From the app home screen, tap Assets (
).
-
Select Vehicle to view available vehicles.
Recently selected vehicles are highlighted for easy identification. In Samsara Driver App version 2510.300 or later, vehicles are listed by proximity, from closest to farthest.
-
Tap the vehicle and select Confirm to verify the selection.
Troubleshooting Tip: If you see a message that the vehicle is not in your vicinity or that you are not within the required distance, try the following:
-
Move closer to the vehicle and stop in a safe location. Stay within range of the Vehicle Gateway to claim the vehicle. If your vehicle broadcasts a Samsara Wi-Fi hotspot, connect your device to it.
-
Make sure Location Services are enabled on your phone or tablet and that the Samsara Driver App has permission to access your location.
-
Check that your device has an active internet connection and that the Vehicle Gateway shows normal status.
-
Sign out of the Samsara Driver App, restart your device, then sign back in and try selecting the vehicle again.
-
If the vehicle appears but is grayed out because you are not within the required distance, tap Select anyway if available. Enter a brief comment explaining why you are selecting the vehicle despite the warning, then confirm the selection.
-
If selection still fails or a different vehicle appears, confirm with your fleet administrator that you are using the correct vehicle name or number, and ask them to check for duplicate vehicle names or records, which can block selection.
-
-
Tap Trailers to search for and select a trailer.
To view and select a trailer, your fleet administrator must enable Trailer Selection. See Trailer Management for more information.
-
If relevant, + Add a Shipping ID and Save to add the ID to your HOS log.
-
Tap Done to return to the home screen with the selection.
