More information about the Yard Move, Personal Conveyance, and Exempt HOS exemptions in Geotab Drive.
If enabled by your admin in the app, you can enable the Yard Move (YM), Personal Conveyance (PC), and Exempt HOS exemptions as described in Viewing and applying exemptions.
This article provides some details about these exemptions:
YM and PC are not available if the telematics device cannot communicate with the vehicle (see Connection status).
YM and PC logs cannot be edited.
All manual duty status changes are disabled (greyed out) while YM or PC are active.
End a YM event by tapping End on the Exemptions screen, or by turning the vehicle ignition off and back on.
In Canada, YM is automatically disabled if the vehicle moves faster than 32 kph.
End a PC event by tapping End on the Exemptions screen, or by confirming the event ended in the prompt that appears after the vehicle is turned off and back on.
In Canada, PC is automatically disabled if you drive more than the daily PC distance limit, shown in the app. In the USA, PC is not automatically disabled but you will be shown a notification.
You can apply Exempt HOS if you are operating in any HOS-exempt capacity as defined by North American regulations.
