Unidentified Trips Overview

Unidentified trips occur when a driver or mechanic forgot to log into the EROAD electronic logging device (ELD) in-vehicle device and the vehicle is driven at least five miles per hour. Motor carriers must do the following steps per subsection 395.32(c):

  • Ensure that records of unidentified trips are reviewed
  • Annotate the record to explain why the time is unassigned to any driver
  • Assign the trip to the appropriate driver to correctly reflect the driver's hours of service
  • Retain the records for each ELD for a minimum of six months from the date of receipt

You can manage unidentified driver trips through the new Unidentified Trips submenu, where you can perform the following actions:

  • Access/view unidentified trips in a specific time period
  • Filter trips based on trip status, vehicle, or the group to which the vehicle belongs
  • View detailed information for each trip, including location
  • Assign individual trips
  • Bulk assign trips to a specific driver
  • Bulk close trips, leaving them as unassigned
  • Export all of the trips matching the current filter as a comma-separated values (CSV) spreadsheet
  • Export selected trips as a CSV file
  • View or export trips that have been closed as unassigned
