Ignore Drive Time - Mobile App

How to Mark a Drive Time Event as Ignored

Overview

There are instances where drivers forget to set themselves to On Duty – Yard Move or Off Duty – Personal Use, before starting to drive their vehicle. Although they can annotate the event, it makes it difficult for drivers to know how much time they would have had left if the driving status was set correctly from the beginning.

The BigRoad ELD mobile app allows you to mark a drive time event as ignored, to assist drivers in this scenario.

Mark Drive Time Event as Ignored

Since the driving event cannot be edited, we have added the option to mark the event as ‘ignored’.

Follow the steps below to mark a drive time event as ignored:

  1. Log in to the BigRoad ELD mobile app

  2. Tap the Logs button

  1. Type in a Note explaining why you are ignoring the event (note is visible to the roadside inspector and it should indicate why they shouldn’t consider this to be driving time and what they should consider it to be instead)

  2. Select an Alternate Duty Status to use for timer and violation calculations

  3. Tap the Save button

Note: If the driver forgot to select PC before driving, the alternate duty status should be 'Off Duty'. If they forgot to select Yard Move, the alternative duty status should be 'On Duty'.

  1. View the example on the Log page – Driving event with annotation and alternate duty status

When the event is saved, the timers that show the remaining time for that day and the violation calculations will display as if the duty status were the alternate duty status. Otherwise, the event will continue to be considered a Driving event.

Un-Do Mark Drive Time Event as Ignored

If a driver decides they shouldn’t have ignored the driving event, they can edit the event and uncheck the 'Ignore Event' option and timers and violation calculations will return to normal.

Follow the steps below to edit a log and un-select the Ignore Event option:

  1. Follow the same steps from the Mark Drive Time Event as Ignored section above, and un-check the Ignore Event option

  2. View the example on the Home page with the On Duty time and Drive time remaining
