A co-driver is a driver who takes turns driving the same vehicle with you during the same shift. Only one driver can be assigned to a vehicle at a time. This is the current driver. Any HOS (hours of service) data generated is assigned to the current driver. This includes HOS status information, mileage driven, and any violations, diagnostic events, or malfunctions.
Even if you are not currently driving, you can still access your Logbook account to view your HOS information. If your information is displayed on the Dashboard screen, you are the active user. See Switch active users for instructions on how to switch from one Logbook user to another.
The screenshot below shows the difference between the active user and the current driver, who can be different drivers or the same driver:
-
Active user (left): Under YOU is the driver whose data is shown on the Dashboard screen.
-
Current driver (right): The driver who is in control of the vehicle is shown with the label “Current driver”.
A maximum of four drivers can be logged in to Logbook at a time. All co-drivers must log in to Logbook before the vehicle starts moving and log out after the engine has been turned off. All co-drivers must use the same mobile device.
For instructions on how to manage co-drivers, see the following topics:
All co-drivers must log in to Logbook on the same mobile device prior to starting the vehicle.

On the Setup screen you can see who the active user and current drivers are. Under YOU is the active user, whose data shows on the Dashboard screen. Under OTHER DRIVERS are all other co-drivers.

The current driver is the co-driver who is in control of the vehicle and to whom any HOS data that is captured automatically from the vehicle is assigned. The current driver can be the active user but does not have to be.
