This article describes the driver experience when using a shared tablet that has been set up in Tablet Mode. For setup instructions, see Setting Up Tablet Mode.
Step-by-step acknowledgement
- The driver opens the tablet's browser (or taps the bookmarked eRegs icon).
- A driver selection screen shows all drivers assigned to this tablet. The driver taps their name.
- The regulations are displayed for review.
- The driver taps I Acknowledge Receipt at the bottom of the screen.
- A success screen confirms the acknowledgement. After about 2 seconds, the regulation reader opens automatically.
Switching drivers (slip-seat operations)
For slip-seat fleets where multiple drivers share the same truck and tablet:
- The current driver taps the Switch Driver button in the top-right corner of the screen.
- The tablet returns to the driver selection screen.
- The next driver selects their name and completes their own acknowledgement.
What the fleet manager sees
After a driver acknowledges on a tablet:
- The driver's status changes to Acknowledged on the Drivers page.
- A PDF receipt is generated and available for download.
- The Device column shows which tablet was used.
- The Last Seen timestamp updates whenever the driver interacts with the tablet.
