Exempt Logs (iPhone®/iPad®)
This article explains how 150 Air-Mile-Radius exempt drivers can use the Encompass® ELD system to track hours and maintain compliance. Administrators must first enable the Exempt Log functionality in the back office. Once logged in, drivers select “Exempt Log” and confirm requirements, with the Dashboard displaying “Exempt” in the duty status bar. In Exempt mode, the Driving Hours Available clock shows N/A, and log views only display On Duty and Off Duty time combined. Drivers can also view Recap info, edit trip details, and add log remarks as needed. If the exempt log is converted to a standard log mid-day, trip information will be required.
When operating in an exempt driving status, the Driving Hours Available clock will be grayed out and display driving hours as N/A when the vehicle is in motion.
Logging In on iOS - Exempt Driver
Launch Encompass® ELD and login.
Tap on Exempt Log. The driver will be presented with an Exempt confirmation message, listing the requirements they must comply with in order to create an exempt log for today. Press OK to proceed.
Select your current duty status.
The duty status in the green bar of the dashboard will indicate "Exempt". (New customers will see the new Dashboard screens).

The Grid screen displays only on-duty and off-duty time, even if the driver has driven the vehicle. Both driving and on-duty are combined into on-duty time.

View, Add and Edit Log Remarks
Log Remarks can be added, if needed. Tap Log Remarks at the bottom of your screen. Select Add Log Remark from the status in which a note should be added. These remarks are meant to provide additional information as to what occurred during a particular duty status.
