Reveal updates: October 2020
Welcome to the Reveal updates for October 2020.
This month it's all about smart scheduling, changes to our hours of service (HOS) and ELD malfunction reporting in accordance with the new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules, and new road restrictions warnings available in our Navigation app.
Smart scheduling for jobs
Dispatchers can now get a scheduling recommendation based on the vehicle’s location.
This is helpful when there’s an urgent job and you need to quickly identify a Technician that can get there right away.

Changes to hours of service (HOS) are now live
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has updated their HOS rules for commercial motor vehicle drivers.
For the Reveal ELD Logbook app, please make sure your drivers are on the latest version of the app which is version 3.31 for iOS or Android.

New ELD Malfunction Report
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires carriers to fix a malfunctioning ELD within 8 days.
Reveal now includes a report that helps carriers identify malfunctions more quickly, allowing more time to get them fixed.
