Duty status changes require location information for log entries. In cases where the Samsara Driver App cannot properly identify the location, you must manually add a location to avoid a violation at a roadside inspection or audit.
When you change your duty status without a manual or automatically detected location, the Samsara Driver App provides a notification about the missing location:
![]() |
You can then choose from two options: You can proceed to set your duty status with a blank location, or you can choose to cancel and manually add the location before proceeding with duty status selection.
![]() |
After you Save your location, Samsara will use it to identify your location in related logs.
