If you would like to permit your drivers to make changes to their off-duty and on-duty statuses when they are away from the vehicle or Driver App, you can enable Kiosk Mode from the Samsara Dashboard. After you enable Kiosk Mode, drivers can remotely edit HOS logs, view their safety history, and access Driver App training resources. This will ensure more accurate logs and less time spent editing on-duty time at the beginning and end of their shift.
To Enable This Feature For Your Drivers
Go to Settings (Gear Icon), within Fleet settings, select Compliance and enable Persistent Duty Status and Kiosk Mode.
