Driver reports Β· part of CargoPay

Driver app: every loading and unloading, reported.
With the GPS position and the odometer.

DriverLog is the driver app for your trucks: each loading and unloading is reported from the driver's phone, with nothing to install, no account and no GPS device on the truck. Every report reaches your account with the GPS position, the odometer reading and the plates, and the kilometres driven empty are worked out from them.

In short

  • DriverLog gives each of your trucks a driver token: a link the driver opens to report every loading and unloading.
  • Drivers have nothing to install and no account. Each report carries the GPS position with its accuracy, the odometer, the plates and the company where the truck loaded or unloaded.
  • Your office gets every report in one list, the empty kilometres and utilisation for the last 90 days, a PDF per token, and the truck's odometer kept current.

What exactly is DriverLog?

DriverLog is the record of every loading and unloading your trucks do, sent by the driver at the moment it is done. A report is one check-in from the driver: what was done, at which company, with the truck plate, the odometer reading and a GPS position.

The report is sent from a web page on the driver's phone, opened from a link you give them. That link carries a driver token: a credential tied to one truck, which ends on the date you set and which you can revoke at any time. Only you log in; the driver never sees anything in your account.

DriverLog is not a tachograph. It does not record driving or rest times; it records where and when the truck loaded and unloaded, and how far it drove in between.

What changes in the office?

Without driver reports, the office learns what the truck did from phone calls and paper, after the fact. With DriverLog, each stop is recorded by the driver when it happens.

Without driver reports With DriverLog
You learn a truck has loaded when the driver calls The report arrives with the time, the position and the company where it loaded
Odometer readings are copied from paper at the end of the month Every report carries the odometer, and the truck's vehicle record is updated from it
Empty kilometres are an estimate Empty kilometres are worked out from each loading and unloading reported
A message says where the driver is Every report has a GPS position, its accuracy and a trust score
A driver app has to be installed, updated and logged into A link opens a page in the phone's browser
A driver who leaves still has access Revoke the token and its link stops working at that moment
When your customer asks when the truck loaded, the answer is a report with a time and a GPS position, not a call to the driver.

How does a driver send a report?

From the link you sent, in the phone's browser, with nothing to install. Four steps after each loading or unloading.

1

Open the link

After a loading or an unloading is done, the driver opens the link you sent. It opens in the phone's browser, in English, Spanish or Romanian depending on the link.

2

Fill the form

Load, unload or both; the company where the truck is loading or unloading; the truck plate and the odometer. The address and the trailer plate are optional. The phone remembers the last values, so at the next stop the driver changes the company and the address.

3

Get the location

The page reads the phone's GPS for a few seconds and keeps the most accurate reading. It asks the driver to stop the truck first if it is still moving.

4

Check and send

A summary of the report is shown before it goes. The driver confirms, and the page says when the report has arrived in your account.

No signal at the site? The report is kept on the phone and sent once the connection returns while the page is open, or the next time the driver opens it. The phone keeps up to 10 waiting reports, each for up to 7 days.
The link is the credential. It works for one truck, and a report is refused if the plate typed is not that truck's plate. Send it only to the driver; if it reaches anyone else, revoke the token and issue a new one.

What do you have to set up?

A truck in your fleet and one token for it. After that, the reports arrive in your account as the driver sends them.

1

Add the truck to your fleet

A token can only be issued for one of your trucks, under Vehicles. Its plate is the one the driver will type on every report.

2

Issue a driver token

Three fields: the driver's name, the truck, and the last day the link works. The token works to the end of that day on your company's clock.

3

Send the link

Copy the link from the token page and send it by email, WhatsApp or any message app. The driver uses the same link for every report until the token ends.

4

Replace it when things change

A new token for the same truck revokes the earlier one, so a new driver or a new date is a new link, and the old one stops working.

One active token per truck. A truck never has two working links at once, and one link never reports for two trucks.

What do you get from the reports?

Every report is stored as an entry in your account. The entries are listed, counted and put in a PDF without anyone retyping them.

Every report in one list

Truck plate, odometer, company, location, operation and time for every report from your drivers. Search and sort work on the whole list.

Four figures, last 90 days

Total distance, empty distance, utilisation rate and the number of loadings and unloadings, across all your trucks.

A trust score per report

Worked out from the GPS accuracy and how well the position matches the address the driver picked, to point you at the reports worth checking.

A PDF per driver token

The last 30 days of reports sent with that token: the driver, the truck and trailer, kilometres and empty kilometres per month, and the reports grouped by week.

The odometer stays current

Each accepted report updates the odometer on the truck's vehicle record, while the truck is in your fleet.

Your reports stay yours

Every entry and token belongs to your organisation. No other company on CargoPay sees them.

The figures are only as complete as the reports. A loading the driver did not report counts the next stretch as empty, and an unloading not reported counts it as loaded.

Why keep driver reports where your fleet already is?

A separate reporting tool needs its own list of trucks and drivers, kept in step with the one you already have. DriverLog issues tokens for the trucks you registered in CargoPay.

It starts from your fleet

A token is issued for a truck you already registered under Vehicles, so the plate on every report is checked against your own fleet.

The reports add positions to TruckTrace

Each report adds a position to the truck's TruckTrace trace, the link your customer opens to follow the truck.

No wallet charge

Issuing driver tokens and receiving reports takes nothing from your CargoPay wallet.

In the driver's language

The report page opens in English, Spanish or Romanian, depending on the link you send.

Frequently asked questions about DriverLog

DriverLog is how your drivers report each loading and unloading from their phone. You issue a driver token for one of your trucks and send the driver its link; every report the driver sends lands in your CargoPay account with the GPS position, the odometer reading and the plates.

No. The driver app is a web page that opens from the link in the phone's browser. There is nothing to install and nothing to register; the driver only allows the page to use the phone's location.

No. DriverLog records loadings and unloadings, with the position, the odometer and the plates. It does not record driving or rest times, and it does not replace the tachograph.

No. The position comes from the driver's phone at the moment of each report, with its accuracy. It is one position per report, not continuous tracking. The truck's position while it drives comes from TruckTrace, a separate service charged to your wallet, when the driver turns on live sharing.

No. A report records when and where the driver reported an unloading, with the GPS position, but nobody signs it. The signed proof of delivery in CargoPay is the eCMR, which the consignee signs from a phone, without an account.

Yes, from the reports. Every report carries the odometer reading, which must be higher than the last one for the truck, and the PDF of each driver token shows the kilometres and the empty kilometres per month for its last 30 days.

It is the driver-reporting part of your fleet records in CargoPay, next to your vehicles and TruckTrace. DriverLog itself does not record maintenance, fuel or driving hours.

Whether it was a loading, an unloading or both; the company where the truck is loading or unloading; the truck plate, the trailer plate and the odometer reading; the GPS position with its accuracy; the address the driver picked, or the city and country worked out from the position; and when the report was made.

A report cannot be sent without a GPS reading, and the reading's accuracy is stored with it. The page does not take a position while the truck is moving. Each report also gets a trust score, worked out from the GPS accuracy, the distance between the position and the address the driver picked, and how complete that address is. A low score does not stop a report from being saved; it marks the reports worth a second look.

The report is kept on the phone and sent once the connection returns while the page is open, or the next time the page is opened. The phone keeps up to 10 waiting reports, each for up to 7 days. A waiting report is still checked when it arrives, so it is refused if the token has ended in the meantime.

From the odometer readings and the operations reported. For each truck, the distance between one report and the next is added up; each loading opens a load and each unloading closes one, and the distance driven with no load open counts as empty. The figures cover the last 90 days and are only as complete as the reports: a loading the driver did not report makes the next stretch count as empty.

No. A token belongs to one truck in your fleet, and the driver types the truck plate on every report. A report whose plate is not the token's plate is refused.

Issue a new token for the truck and send the new driver the link. The earlier token for that truck is revoked at that moment, so the previous link stops working. You can also revoke a token on its own at any time. Reports already sent stay in your entries.

No. Reports cannot be edited. Delete the wrong one and the driver sends it again. Every report must carry a higher odometer reading than the latest one for the truck, so deleting a reading typed too high lets the correct one through.

Issuing driver tokens and receiving reports takes nothing from your CargoPay wallet.

Your organisation. Every entry and token belongs to the carrier that issued the token, and no other company on CargoPay sees them. The driver sees the report form and the messages about their own report, never earlier reports or anything else in your account.

No. DriverLog is for carriers and their own trucks. Your customer can follow the truck through a TruckTrace link you send, and each driver report adds a position to that trace.

Start with one truck

Add a truck, issue a token for it and send the link to its driver. The first report shows you what every stop will look like in your account.
