Canada Roadside Inspection: Mobile App
Overview
While performing roadside inspections, Safety officials can request Driver Daily Logs to be sent directly to the official or view on screen. The Inspect Daily Logs screen of the Big Road ELD Mobile App has a Send/Print Logs button to make it easy to send logs directly without delay.
Users can choose to send logs via Email, Print or Fax Logs
Note: Sending logs to Safety Authorities requires the driver to have internet access on their mobile device. If a driver does not have service at the time of inspection, they can still follow ELD rules by showing the safety official their logs using the on-screen Inspection Mode.
