To assist drivers who are having issues signing out, or to force a driver to exit their session, you can trigger a sign-out action for a particular driver from the Samsara Dashboard. 

This can be useful in the following situations:

• A driver is still assigned to a vehicle even though their shift has ended, putting them at risk for HOS violations if that vehicle is moved
• A driver requires an update to the Samsara Driver App, which is triggered by signing out and signing back in
• You want to prevent unauthorized access to the Driver App (e.g. if a device is stolen)

Triggering a Sign-Out

An admin with appropriate permissions can access the remote sign-out capability from two different locations within the Dashboard.

NOTE: Drivers must be on v2130.600 or higher for the remote sign-out to work correctly. 

From the Driver overview page

Overview > Drivers > [Driver Name]

From the driver's HOS logs page

Compliance > Driver HOS > [Driver Name]

Restrictions on Usage

In order to ensure ELD compliance, administrators will not be able to use the feature for any of the following actions.

• Remotely sign out a driver who is currently in a Driving, Yard Move, or Personal Conveyance duty status.
  
• Change a driver's duty status as part of the remote sign-out. The driver will remain in the same duty status even after they are remotely signed out.
  

Identifying Drivers Who Forgot to Sign Out

To assist in identifying drivers who are potentially at risk for running into HOS violations because they forgot to sign out of the app, and still have a vehicle assignment at the end of their shift, we have added new capabilities to the HOS Report page.

Vehicle Column

This column identifies the current vehicle assignment. It is also possible to sort on this column.

Vehicle Assignment Filter

An Admin can filter for users who have (or don’t have) a vehicle assignment.
