Following these steps ensures accurate organizational hierarchy, proper ELD compliance, and clear company reporting.
Add a Reporting Level
Go to Settings > Company Level Listing.
> 
Click Add Level underneath your Company.
Important Note!
The ELD Mandate requires that the Company Name match the Carrier Name the DOT Number is registered to or the DBA (Doing Business As) name that it is registered to.
A good practice to follow where there are multiple Company Locations is listed below:
DOT registered name is ABC Company.
If this company has multiple "Locations" or virtual companies that share the same DOT Number, then they should be named in the following suggested pattern:
ABC Company - Appleton
ABC Company - Green Bay
ABC Company - DenverKey Takeaway: When entering the Company Name, the registered Carrier Name is always first.
Fill in as much information as possible. Click Save when finished.
Your newly added level will now display in the list.
Remove a Reporting Level
To remove a reporting level, simply click the trash can button next to the title of the level. Note: This is a permanent removal.
Confirm the deletion.
