This article explains how Drivers can add log events in compliance with the ELD Mandate using the Encompass® ELD app. From the Dashboard, Drivers access the View Log icon, select Edit Log, and choose the correct date if needed. They can add a new event by entering required details such as duty status, start/end time, location, annotation, and any applicable vehicle or shipment information. Once saved, the event appears in the log and is shown in green on the grid log screen to indicate it was edited. This process ensures accurate and compliant recordkeeping of duty status changes.

 

To begin, tap on the View Log icon from the Encompass ELD Dashboard.
