General

From General driver app settings, you can edit the Driver Fleet ID for login and customize the vehicle and trailer selection for your drivers.

Settings	Description
Login	Edit the Driver Fleet ID that drivers use to connect to your organization at Samsara Driver App sign in.
Org vehicle search	By default, drivers are limited to vehicles within their selection tag when connected to the internet. Enable this feature to allow drivers to search for vehicles outside their selection tag.
Restrict vehicle selection based on location	Note Contact Support to enable this feature. Encourage drivers to select nearby vehicles by suggesting vehicles within their proximity. You can customize the proximity to a 100 or 500 meter radius.
Trailer selection	Allow drivers to view and select trailers. Customize the options available to the driver for trailer selection, such as allowing the driver to create or search for trailers or limiting the number of trailers the driver can select.

Features
