Log Activities as a Mechanic

The ELD Mandate specifies that carriers must record the time when drivers are operating vehicles in their yards. Drivers can select Yard Move (YM) status in the Samsara Driver App to count the time as on-duty time, but it will not count against their driving time.

If you have team members, such as mechanics, who move vehicles around your yard, they can also record their hours when they perform a yard move. To record their yard move, mechanics can download the Samsara Driver App, sign in with their own driver account, and Set a Yard Move Duty Status. You can also assign the Yard Move after the mechanic has made the move in the Samsara dashboard. To assign hours to a mechanic, assign or annotate the unassigned HOS.
