The user will be presented with the ELD Connection & Discovery screen if Connect to ELD Hardware was toggled on from the Login screen.

Indicate the type of log.
Select the appropriate status and location. Tap Submit Status.
Each driver will fill in their own Trip Information, as this information is not passed between the devices.
