HOS Home Screen and Navigation Buttons

Use this article to learn about the main dashboard (the Home screen) and the navigation buttons in the Transflo HOS app.

Tip: Which mobile app should I be using? If you purchased your ELD from a retail location, use the Transflo HOS app described here on this page. If you received your ELD from your fleet (as part of a fleet subscription), use the expanded features in the Transflo Mobile Plus app.

 

The Home screen consists of configurable dials, menu items, the bottom navigation buttons, and two essential options to more features: the User Settings option and the Main Menu.
