When a driver connects to an ELD, they will need to assign themselves to a vehicle listed under the carrier account or already be assigned to a vehicle by a fleet administrator. A driver cannot select a vehicle that is already assigned to another driver unless they are designated as a co-driver, so it is important for a driver to unassign himself if other drivers operate the vehicle.
FLEET ADMIN ASSIGN VEHICLE STEPS
1. If a fleet administrator wants to assign a driver to a vehicle or unassign a driver from a vehicle, you can click on Admin --> Vehicles as shown below:
2. Once in the vehicles section, click on the vehicle you wish to assign or unassign and then click the EDIT button in the upper right corner
3. Once in the edit vehicle section, click into the assigned driver field and a drop down of drivers should appear. If you do not see any drivers, that means that the drivers are either assigned to other vehicles or you do not have any active drivers added to your carrier account. If a driver is already assigned, you can unassign the driver by selecting unassigned and clicking SAVE.
4. If you want to assign a second driver to a vehicle as a co-driver, you can select an assigned co-driver once you have already select the initial assigned driver as shown below. Co-drivers will be able to select and use the same vehicle as the primary driver in the app.
Once finished click SAVE at the top of the screen.
DRIVER VEHICLE SELF ASSIGN
Drivers can also self assign themselves to a vehicle directly in the driver app. If drivers are switching vehicles on a regular basis, it is important to unassign themselves from the vehicle once they end their shift. To assign themselves to a vehicle follow the instructions below:
1. Go into PROFILE SETTINGS in the driver mobile app
2. Select the Equipment tab and click on the vehicle drop down. This may be already filled in, blank or unassigned.
3. Select your vehicle or select Unassigned to unassign yourself from the vehicle if someone else will be using the vehicle after you. NOTE: if you receive a message that there are no available vehicles or your vehicle is not listed then someone else is assigned to the vehicle or it has not been added by your fleet admin yet. Your dispatcher or fleet admin can let you know what the situation is.
4. Once you select the vehicle or select unassigned ensure you click SAVE at the top right of the screen,
If you are a co-driver and want to select the same vehicle as a driver who is already assigned to this vehicle, you can select the same vehicle once you add them to the co-driver field under Personal tab in the profile settings.
1. Select the Personal tab.
2. Ask the co-driver for their driver email and enter it in as shown in #2 below. If you enter it correctly a green check will appear after the email.
3. Click SAVE
You must save it before you go back into the Equipment tab to select the vehicle.
