How to Use Hyrail
This article explains how Encompass® ELD supports Hyrail Drivers by allowing them to record On-Duty Hyrail time separately from standard On Duty/Drive time. The feature must be enabled by the company’s Encompass Administrator. Drivers can activate Hyrail Mode at login by toggling “Utilize Hyrail Functionality?” or switch to it later through the duty status menu. In Hyrail Mode, vehicle movement records time as On Duty Hyrail without affecting regular drive limits, and log remarks automatically note Hyrail usage and start time. Drivers can exit Hyrail Mode by toggling the option off or selecting a different duty status.
Logging Into Hyrail Mode
When logging into Encompass® ELD, the driver is prompted to select their duty status. If, upon starting their day, they are immediately going to be using hyrail functionality, they can toggle on Utilize Hyrail Functionality?.

When the status of On-Duty Not Driving is selected, turn the toggle on for Utilize Hyrail Functionality? Press OK.
