EDriver Logs software updates have been fully deployed across hundreds of thousands of users via the company’s patented OTAP (over the air programming) process, ensuring that PeopleNet in-cab fleet mobility devices with the software fully support the new HOS provisions.
PeopleNet eDriver Logs automatically updates drivers’ HOS regarding 34-hour reset eligibility, and alerts them about mandatory 30-minute rests.
