Geotab Drive Version 7 Hours of Service Updates

Geotab Drive continues to improve both for drivers and administrators. We are excited about the coming changes and ready to give you a preview. So, here is an overview of what will be released in Version 7.

New Unidentified Driving Page for Admins

The Unidentified Driving page in MyGeotab is now in Feature Preview. This is a dedicated page that provides information about unassigned trips, for the purpose of helping administrators identify the correct driver. The page includes the following:

  • Vehicle groups and comments to provide context about the vehicle in question.
  • Trip distance, duration, and a link to a map with the highlighted route.
  • If available, the driver of the previous and the next trip made by the vehicle.
  • The ability to filter trips by annotations, minimum distance and minimum duration.
  • The option to identify probable Yard Moves with the “Vehicle Movement Within Zones” rule.

Administrators will be able to quickly re-assign or annotate single or multiple trips without leaving the page. Pending assignments are displayed and can be canceled by the administrator. Drivers that accept the assigned unidentified driving will now end the driving period with the same duty status that they had before the unidentified driving was assigned (previously, unidentified driving always ended with an On Duty status).

You will need to enable “Feature Preview” in your User UI Settings to access this page. Call us if you need assistance.

Changes to Ignore Logs Function

In the current version, only administrators can choose to ignore automatically generated logs. In Geotab Drive version 7, administrators can give drivers clearance to ignore them with an annotation as well. This will allow drivers to fix their own errors rather than having to contact the administrator to do so. Ignoring a log will function the same as it does on MyGeotab: an ignored log will no longer count towards HOS availability, but will still appear during Roadside Checks. UI notifications are displayed on the Drive App informing the driver of both these things.

Improvements to Asset Inspection

The Geotab Drive Version 7 asset inspection workflow has changed for United States drivers. In Version 7, inspections only need to be certified if a defect is reported. When there are no defects, the system will no longer prompt to certify the inspection. There are also some new choices available for reporting a defect that is not critical that allows the driver to move on to the next inspection item without first marking the defect repaired.

Geotab Drive Version 7 Driver Password Recovery

Drivers will no longer need to rely on an administrator if they forget their password in Geotab Drive Version 7. Drivers will now have a Forgot Password option on the login screen that will send them an email with a link to reset their password.
