Drivers can edit their own manually-entered log events (reason required). ELD-auto-recorded Driving events are locked by regulation and cannot be modified, but drivers can annotate them. Fleet managers can suggest edits to any log from the past 14 days via the Fleet Portal — the driver must accept or reject each suggestion before the log changes.
HOS log editing has two separate processes depending on who is making the change and what type of event is involved.
What Drivers Can Edit
Drivers can edit their own manually-entered duty-status events directly in the driver app. A reason is required for every edit. After editing a certified log, the log must be re-certified.
Driving events recorded automatically by the ELD hardware whenever the vehicle exceeds 5 mph are locked by regulation — the status, start time, and end time of these auto-recorded events cannot be modified. Drivers can add annotations to locked Driving events to provide context (for example, noting that a vehicle was moved by someone else), but the underlying record cannot be changed.
All edits and their history are preserved in the log audit trail.
Fleet Managers Suggesting Edits
Fleet managers can suggest edits to driver logs from the Fleet Portal. Key rules: - The driver must certify their logs before a fleet manager can suggest edits to them. - Suggestions are limited to logs from the past 14 days. - A reason is required for every suggested edit. - The driver receives a notification and must accept or reject each suggestion — nothing changes until the driver accepts. - All suggestions, acceptances, and rejections are recorded in the audit trail.
How to Suggest an Edit (Fleet Portal)
Log into the Fleet Portal → Logs → choose the driver → select the day → click Edit → make the changes → add Notes explaining the reason → Apply → Send to driver.
Audit Trail
Every edit, suggestion, acceptance, and rejection is preserved in the log history with the original entry, the change, the annotation, and timestamps. This is fully compliant with FMCSA record-keeping requirements.
