travels a distance of 1 kilometer. The vehicle W factor is
used only when RoadLog is synchronized with the vehicle
using the pulse inputs interface, which is uncommon. In this
case, the W factor is used by RoadLog to calculate the
vehicle distance travelled.

6. Daily Operations
Once RoadLog has been installed, the Company has been
logged in and first start up procedures have been
completed, RoadLog is ready for daily operational use.
When you start the engine, RoadLog will automatically go
from sleep mode to active mode.
Note: If no Driver is logged in at start up, you’ll see
the Menu screen. From here you can log in, review the
DVIR or view the RoadLog settings.
Driver Log In
At the start of each workday, Drivers must log in to RoadLog
in order to record their duty status and activities for that day.
Drivers can log in automatically with their Driver Key or
manually.
Automatic Log In with the Driver Key
To log in to RoadLog automatically, insert your Driver Key
into the USB port. RoadLog displays the Preview
Availability screen. Data displayed includes:
• Driver: Name of the Driver logging in.
• Last status: Last duty status recorded for the Driver
and the date and time when the duty status was set.
• Driving time left: Remaining driving time allowed for
the Driver.
• Availability reset: Time of the day when the HOS
calculations will be reset.
Note: If it’s your first log in, or RoadLog detects there
is not sufficient historical data for HOS availability
calculation, RoadLog will not be able to calculate
“Driving time left,” and it displays the Not Sufficient
RODS Data screen. It will take a 24 hour period from
the first Driver log in for the system to be able to
calculate “Driving time left” and “Daily Duty Availability.”
It will take 34 consecutive hours of “off duty” time to
show “Weekly duty availability.”
Tap Continue to continue. RoadLog displays the Initial
Status screen. Not Sufficient RODS Data

Enter your Status
Tap the appropriate button for your current status to let the
system know if you’re coming on as a Driver, going On
Duty, going in the Sleeper Berth, or driving for Personal
Use.
Note: If you’re logging in as a team, one person must
select Driver and the other person(s) On Duty.
RoadLog will record HOS data for each person based
on your duty status selections.
Your next step will depend on whether you are the first Driver
to log in and whether there are Trailers and/or Shipping
Documents assigned to the vehicle. In either case, you’ll
need to perform all necessary DVIR procedures when
starting your trip.
If you are the first driver to log in as “Driving,” and current
resources are assigned in RoadLog, you must choose
whether to keep or discard the Trailers and/or Shipping
Documents that have been assigned as current resources.
After making your choices, you’ll perform a DVIR.
If Trailers and/or Shipping Documents are already confirmed
by a previous Driver, you’ll be asked to “Keep the current
resources,” to confirm that resources have not changed.
After confirming the resources, you’ll perform a DVIR.
Automatic status updates
Once you’ve logged in, RoadLog will update your status
automatically – there’s no need to select a status change
from the Driver Overview options menu.
When you travel over 2 miles, RoadLog will automatically put
you in “Driving” (D) status.
When the vehicle is stationary for five minutes, RoadLog will
automatically put you in “On Duty” status (ON).
Note: You can manually select “Sleeper Berth” (SB) or
“Personal Use” (PS) from the Driver Overview options
menu, whenever the vehicle is not traveling.
