Driving While Not Connected to ELD Alert
The Encompass® ELD application has the ability to detect if the driver is moving while disconnected from the ELD. When this is detected, an alert is immediately sent to the Encompass® back office. This alert can be used to monitor the frequency of driving while disconnected to recognize potential training gaps. Staying on top of disconnected driving can help mitigate the volume of unidentified ELD events and log inaccuracies.
To customize alert/notification types for Employees Driving Without Being Connected to an ELD, click the Customize button near the top of the page.

In the example below, these alerts will display as a priority alert; the admin will receive an email regarding the alert; the alert will display as a card in the Alerts center; will display in the Alerts Bell; and will send a real-time notification if a driver is not connected to an ELD.

From the alerts center, clicking the card will take you to the Not Connected While Driving tab in the Hours of Service page. Alternately, you can access this by locating the alert in the Alerts Bell.
