Correct Duty Status

The Correct Duty Status window allows you to manually change a driver's duty status.

A duty status can be changed or you can split it into two records. When you split the record, one record retains the old status and the second is assigned to a new status. Segments can be split repeatedly to create multiple edits for one original duty status. If you undo a correction, all corrections made to an original duty status are undone.

After you save an edit with a remark, appears next to the duty status on the Driver Details page. Hovering over the icon displays the remark.

Neither you nor drivers can edit drive time.

The vehicle's position at the time of the duty status. This position is relative to the nearest town, city, or point of interest. You can adjust the location if necessary.
Distance
For MCPs, this is the distance driven for a recorded or added driving segment. You can adjust the mileage in whole numbers.
Note: If you split a duty status, the point of interest (POI) and other location information are copied to the second part of the split. The POI is expected in the format "City, State/Province," where state or province is abbreviated.
Moving
Check to indicate that the off-duty time was in a moving vehicle. Off-duty time captured in a moving vehicle is subject to the rules of the On Duty Time Definition (Passenger rule). Uncheck the box to indicate the vehicle was not moving during this off-duty time.
Note: When a driver is in personal conveyance status and an inactive driver (passenger) is in off-duty status while the vehicle is moving, the inactive driver is subject to the On Duty Time Definition (or Passenger rule).
Under Rest Break Exemption
Check to indicate that the driver was under a rest break exemption during this segment.
