Route One ELD tracks four duty statuses: Off Duty, Sleeper Berth, Driving, and On Duty (Not Driving).
Federal regulations (49 CFR Part 395) require all commercial drivers to record one of four duty statuses at all times. Route One ELD tracks these automatically or manually depending on the status type.
1. Off Duty (OFF)
The driver is not working and not responsible for the vehicle. Use this when you've ended your shift, are on a multi-day break, or are waiting in a personal capacity. Off-duty time does not count against your driving or on-duty limits.
2. Sleeper Berth (SB)
The driver is resting in the truck's sleeper berth. Under HOS rules, drivers can split the required 10-hour off-duty rest across a sleeper berth period and a shorter off-duty period to extend their driving window. See hours of service rules for split sleeper berth details.
3. Driving (D)
The driver is operating the vehicle. **This status is set automatically** by the ELD when vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph — you cannot set it manually. See how the ELD triggers driving mode for details.
4. On Duty Not Driving (ON)
The driver is working but not behind the wheel — loading/unloading, pre-trip inspections, fueling, waiting at a shipper. This status counts toward your 14-hour on-duty window.
Special Statuses: Yard Move and Personal Conveyance
In addition to the four standard statuses, Route One ELD supports two special statuses that must be authorized by your motor carrier before they appear in the app: - **Yard Move (YM)** — for on-premises vehicle movement within a yard or facility. - **Personal Conveyance (PC)** — for personal, non-work use of the vehicle after going off duty.
Changing Your Status
You can change your status manually by tapping the status field in the driver app. The vehicle must be completely stopped before you can make a manual change.
