Yard moves is an ELD Mandate compliant feature that allows a driver to move the vehicle on private roads and work sites without triggering a driving duty status. This feature must not be used while on public roads or sites. 


This feature must be enabled in Navistream on the driver’s user profile, prior to it being available to the driver on their tablet. 


To engage Yard Moves on the tablet, the driver needs to:


  • Select the Activities tile from the Main Menu.


  • Tap the Yard Moves button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.



Please Note: 

An ECM connection is required to use Yard Moves. Without an ECM connection, this option will be greyed out.


  • Once selected, you will be given additional information on the tablet as to what Yard Moves is. 


  • There is a field to enter a reason for entering Yard Moves, it is optional but recommended. 


  • Click on the Continue Button to engage Yard Moves.



Back on the activities screen you will see that the Yard Moves button has been switched to the ON position and has changed its color to green, indicating it's active.



Additional information about Yard Moves:


  • With Yard Moves toggled on, Navistream will no longer automatically change your duty status to driving when you begin moving.

  • To exit Yard Moves, touch the Yard Moves button again.
