Send Logs to the FMCSA - Mobile App

Send Logs to the FMCSA - Mobile App

Overview

While performing roadside inspections, DOT officials can request Driver Daily Logs to be sent directly to the FMCSA. The Inspect Daily Logs screen of the Big Road ELD Mobile App has a Send to FMCSA button to make it easy to send logs directly without delay.

Users can choose to send logs either via Web Service or via Email.

Note: Only ELD inspections in the United States will have the option to send logs to the FMCSA.

Note: Sending logs to FMCSA requires the driver to have internet access on their mobile device. If a driver does not have service at the time of inspection or cannot submit logs electronically for any other reason, they can still follow ELD rules by showing the safety official their logs using the on-screen Inspection Mode.
