ELD and HOS Roadside Inspections

1. Tap the Transflo ELD tile or HOS duty status dial on your tablet or smartphone.

   

   

2. Tap Inspection.

   

3. You are asked to set a one-time 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) code for security. Only you can enter and exit inspection mode with your memorized PIN code.

   1. Enter a PIN and press Continue.

   2. Enter the PIN again when prompted and tap Confirm PIN.

   3. (Optional) To skip the security pin option, tap No PIN.

      

   • If the app is closed during the inspection, opening it returns you to inspection mode where you have to re-enter the one-time PIN to exit.

   • If the vehicle is driven while in inspection mode, the PIN is cleared and the lock screen activates. A PIN is no longer required to exit inspection mode.

4. If the PIN feature is not enabled, you automatically enter inspection mode. At this step, you either entered a pin, skipped the pin, or were never required to enter a pin. In all cases, the app is now in inspection mode.

5. Review the provided information necessary for the completion of a roadside inspection.

6. When you are in inspection mode, logs are transferred to the FMCSA or are shown on screen.

   

7. You can also review the most recent DVIR.

   

8. After the inspection is over, tap X Exit in the top right corner to exit inspection mode.

   • If you set a 4-digit PIN, the app prompts you to enter it.

   • If your fleet admin did not enable the PIN feature, the screen prompts the current user (police or transportation inspection agent) to hand the device back to the driver before exiting inspection mode. As the driver, tap Continue.

   

Notes:

• If the app is closed during the inspection, opening it returns you to inspection mode where you must re-enter the one-time PIN to exit.

• If the vehicle is driven while in inspection mode, the PIN is cleared and the lock screen activates. A PIN is no longer required to exit inspection mode.

 

Tip: If you cannot remember your PIN, you can log out or begin driving to exit inspection mode.

1. To transfer HOS logs to the FMCSA as a raw data file for their eRODS safety compliance review, enter the code provided by the inspecting officer in the Comments field.

2. Select Email or Web Services to transfer the report.

   

   Tip: We recommend using the Web Services option as the fastest method of transfer. You can also use Compliance Print as an option if both Email and Web Service transfer options fail.

1. To display the logs on your mobile device screen, select Compliance Print.

2. To move between days, tap the arrow buttons.

3. To display all information for that day, scroll through each report.

A formal Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) confirms that a driver has completed a pre-trip and post-trip inspection of their commercial motor vehicle, cab, trailer, tarps, tires, and detailed any mechanical defects. Inspections play an essential role in improving road safety while ensuring fleet compliance.

1. To review the DVIR, select the DVIR tab at the top of the screen and tap Review.

   

2. Scroll down and select View to see the list of defects used in the inspection.

   

3. To exit, close the defects list and select the back arrow at the top-left.
