About This Guide
About DriverConnect
DriverConnect is an integrated platform that consists
of the DriverConnect app installed on an Android™based device (a tablet or a smartphone), a cloudbased web portal, and a Rand McNally ELD.
The ELD automatically gathers data as you drive,
and sends the data to your Android™ device or tablet over Bluetooth®.
DriverConnect uses an internet connection (cellular or Wi-Fi™) from
your Android™ device to store that data in a cloud-based online
account.
DriverConnect:
 Automatically calculates your Hours of Service (HOS).
 Displays work timers that tell you how much time you have left in
your driving session, driving shift, work day, and work cycle.
 Displays break timers that calculate time left in your break, and how
long until your work cycle restarts.
 Displays gauges with details about your engine’s performance.
 Creates driving logs for Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) inspections.
 Enables messaging services between drivers and fleet managers.
 Stores more than 6 months of driving logs in the DriverConnect
Cloud services.
 Provides certifiable Driver-Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR).
 Automatically tracks your state-to-state driving for IFTA reporting.
 Allows you to take and store a picture of your fuel receipt.
 Provides forms-based workflows for completing common tasks.

About This Guide
Terminology
These terms are used throughout this guide:
 ELD is short for Electronic Logging Device. An ELD connects directly
to your truck and send information over Bluetooth® to your
Android™ device or tablet. Your ELD refers to the specific Rand
McNally ELD installed in your vehicle, such as the ELD 50 or DC 200.
 Your Android™ Device means the Android™-based smartphone or
tablet on which you have installed and use the DriverConnect app.
 HOS means your Hours of Service. This is the amount of time spent
On Duty, Driving, in the Sleeper Berth, and Off Duty.
 A DVIR is a Driver-Vehicle Inspection Report. You need to complete
one before and after each driving session.
 IFTA is the International Fuel Tax Agreement. DriverConnect
automatically tracks your state-to-state driving for easier IFTA
reporting.
 Your Fleet Manager is the individual at your organization who
typically interacts with drivers by managing logs and reports,
performing dispatch, etc.
 A Law Enforcement Officer (or LEO) may request to see your
Logbook on a traffic stop to ensure compliance. DriverConnect has a
special Inspection Mode for these situations.
 The DriverConnect Portal is the web-based component of
DriverConnect that allows you to access reports and driving history,
plus additional features not available in the app. You can access the
portal at: https://driverconnect.randmcnally.com

When you change your trip name,
DriverConnect makes a new trip
entry. All of your mileage and
status changes will be stored
under that trip name, until you
change it and go to On Duty using
a different trip name.

Log Driving Time
When you start driving, you
automatically enter Driving (D) status
when connected to an ELD.
Since DriverConnect uses minute-byminute data for the most accurate drive
time logs, your status switches between
Driving and On Duty automatically.

When the truck first reaches a set
threshold speed after going On Duty,
your status automatically changes to
Driving (D).

Once you stop for 3 seconds, you
can change your status from Driving to
any other status.

If you have been stopped for 5
minutes, and have not already switched
your status, the app automatically switches you to On Duty.
 When you reach the set threshold speed again, your status switches
back to Driving.
 If you stop the engine, the app automatically switches from Driving
to On Duty.
This automatic switching is designed to maximize your drive time while
maintaining compliance. By automatically switching back to On Duty
when you stop, you can gain valuable time back in your legal driving
limits. The threshold speed to transition in and out of driving can be
set by fleet manager on the DriverConnect portal.
