Driver Logbook
Driver Logbook
Truck Me includes a built-in driver logbook with three tiers. Choose the level of tracking that suits your workflow, from zero overhead to full trip logging with export.
Three Tiers
Tier 1: Off
No logbook functionality. Truck Me works purely as a routing and navigation app. Choose this if you use a separate EWD (Electronic Work Diary) or don't need trip tracking.
Tier 2: Reminders
Lightweight prompts without active tracking:
- Trip start prompt, when you begin navigation, Truck Me asks: "Log this trip?" with quick-tap yes/no.
- Trip end prompt, when you arrive at your destination, a prompt to record the trip.
- Rest break reminders, configurable reminders based on drive time (e.g. alert after 5 hours continuous driving).
No odometer tracking, no background recording. Just simple prompts to help you remember.
Tier 3: Tracking
Full trip logging with data capture:
- Odometer entry, prompted at trip start and end. Calculates trip distance.
- Rest break logging, record break start/end times with location.
- Trip history, searchable list of all logged trips with date, origin, destination, distance, and drive time.
- Export, export trip logs as CSV or PDF for record-keeping or compliance.
Setting Your Tier
- Go to Settings → Driver Logbook.
- Select your tier, Off, Reminders, or Tracking.
- Configure options (Tier 2 & 3):
- Rest break reminder interval (e.g. every 5 hours, 5.5 hours).
- Auto-log trips (skip the "Log this trip?" prompt and always record).
Trip Log Details
Each logged trip (Tier 3) records:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | Trip date |
| Origin | Start location |
| Destination | End location |
| Start odo | Odometer at departure |
| End odo | Odometer at arrival |
| Distance | Calculated from odo readings |
| Drive time | Total time in motion |
| Rest breaks | Number and total duration |
| Vehicle | Which vehicle profile was active |
Exporting Logs
From the trip history screen:
- Select date range, pick the period you want to export.
- Choose format, CSV (for spreadsheets) or PDF (for records).
- Export, file is saved to your device or shared via email/messaging.
Important Note
Truck Me's logbook is a convenience tool, not a certified Electronic Work Diary (EWD). It does not replace NHVR-approved EWD systems for fatigue management compliance. If you need a certified EWD, use a dedicated system alongside Truck Me.
