Start or Stop a Personal Conveyance HOS Exemption
Follow these steps in the Transflo HOS app or Transflo Mobile+ app when you need to start or stop a personal conveyance (PC) exemption from your normal ELD drive logs.
-
On the Home screen or dashboard, tap the TransfloELD tile or HOS dial.
Reminder: Depending on possible product configuration changes for your specific fleet, it is possible that user interface labels, buttons, links, dials, tiles, icons, colors, logos, and placement on the screen can change. Features can also be hidden from your view based on permissions. In the documentation, we cover a default setup with screen examples that are generally similar for smart phones and tablets running either iOS or Android OS. Adjust certain steps, if needed, to reflect your actual device and product configuration.
- Tap HOS.
-
Scroll to the bottom of the HOS section and tap View Exemptions.
-
In the Personal Conveyance section, tap Start.
-
Enter an annotation (your reason for starting the PC) and tap Apply.
-
Later, when you want to stop the personal conveyance, repeat this procedure from Step 1 to go back to the HOS feature and tap View Exemptions. The Start button is now a Stop button. To end the PC exemption, tap Stop.
Tip: If you start PC time and turn your engine OFF and then turn the engine ON again, a pop-up asks you if you want to stay in PC. We recommend that you stop the first PC to move the vehicle. If you ignore the message, the app stops the PC for you and if you move the truck, a DRIVE log is created. If you want to continue in PC mode, start a new PC mode again. This practice keeps your PC logs shorter and prevents the unwanted DRIVE log due to what some might consider an annoying pop-up message.
