Driver Logs enables you to check the status, state, and duty log information of your fleet’s drivers. A benefit of Driver Logs is drivers’ logs can be exported for review or edits can be made or confirmed. It is possible to quickly send a message to a driver and view the past communication.
To access the Driver Logs, on the main menu go to Reports, then Zonar Logs, then select Hours of Service (Compliance Insights).
Once Hours of Service is loaded, select Driver Logs (New) on the far right side of the reports bar. You may need to scroll the bar to see the option.

Drivers using ELD have access to the export function on the tablet when in Roadside View. However, it is possible to export logs from the Ground Traffic Control report to aid a roadside inspection or to produce a hardcopy of logs.
There are two options for exporting: Active Drivers and Inactive Drivers. Both produce the same format logs, but selecting a driver is slightly different for each.
Active Driver Exporting
- In the Driver List, click the name of the driver to be exported.
- Click the Export button in the upper right, then select Active Drivers. This generates logs for the current driver.
- This brings up the Active Driver log export window. This only generates logs for the current driver. Click the Export Type dropdown to select which type you want to use. See Export Options for more details.
Inactive Driver Exporting
As inactive drivers are not visible in the driver list, the Inactive Driver Export allows you to select a driver within the export window.
- Click the Export button in the upper right, then select Inactive Drivers to bring up the Inactive Driver export.
- Click the Export Type dropdown to select which type you want to use. See Export Options for more details.
- Type the inactive driver's name or part of the name in the provided box. When you press Enter, matching names pop up below the box and can be clicked on.
