Samsara automatically transitions the driver status according to the conditions of your regional mandates. If your drivers are subject to regional mandates such as ELD, you should always keep this enabled for your organization to avoid going out of compliance.

DRIVE |
A vehicle is considered driving when a vehicle exceeds 5mph (the value defined by the ELD Mandate). The Samsara Driver App automatically transitions drivers to Drive unless they are in Personal Conveyance or Yard Move. |
YARD MOVE → ON DUTY |
After a driver manually selects Yard Move, the Yard Move status will remain indefinitely unless:
|
PERSONAL CONVEYANCE → OFF DUTY |
After a driver manually selects Personal Conveyance (PC), the PC status will remain indefinitely unless:
|
DRIVE → ON DUTY |
After the vehicle comes to a stop for five consecutive minutes, the Samsara Driver App displays a prompt for the driver to choose whether they want to remain in Drive or transition to On Duty.

The amount of time stopped before SamSara registers 'On-Duty' should be adjustable. SamSara claims 5minutes, followed by a 60second prompt asking "Stay in driving / Go on duty / Go off duty". Though, this doesn't appear to be accurate.
Frequently our drivers are stopped for 10-15min, re-enter their vehicle, and this prompt is still active. They select "stay in driving", as they're about to drive away. This skews their drive-time. Which is a component of our pay structure.
