New Features and Enhancements

HOS Updates

Drivers can now use Yard Move while they are in Canada.
Drivers are now allowed to accept an Unassigned Driving Event as Personal Conveyance or Yard Move if they have been enabled to use them in the company settings.
When drivers transfer eRODS files, they now receive a message letting them know their records will be sent to the FMCSA.
A new feature allows the carrier to enable the 16-hour Exception from the host at a driver level. If either the fleet 16-hour setting or the driver 16-hour setting denies access to the driver, the 16-hour option is not displayed on the Exceptions screen.
The MCP50 now captures additional data to send to the new Unassigned Driving Report on the HOS host.

Improvements to Malfunction Alerts and Reporting

Several malfunction alerts have been improved:
- Position Malfunction alerts now include instructions for the driver to add the location for the duty status when required.
- Data Recording Malfunction alerts now include instructions for the driver to review and correct logs if necessary, and if the malfunction is hindering accurate recording, to use paper logs.
- Engine Sync Malfunction alerts now include instructions for the driver to review and correct logs if necessary, and if the malfunction is hindering accurate recording, to use paper logs.
- Timing Malfunction alerts now include instructions for the driver to use paper logs until the malfunction is corrected.
- Power Malfunction alerts now include instructions for the driver to review and correct logs if necessary, and if the malfunction is hindering accurate recording, to use paper logs.
To improve malfunction reporting, the Diagnostics and Malfunctions Report now includes the specific trigger for the malfunction event.
To make the Diagnostics and Malfunctions report more useful and easier to read, the report now has one line for each malfunction and diagnostic event that occurred, with each line indicating when the malfunction cleared and all the drivers who were affected by it.
The instruction to go to paper logs has been removed for some sensor failures.
A more intuitive alert for the Data diagnostic now includes what driver action is required.
The instruction to go to paper logs has been removed for some sensor failures.
