Question: Is it necessary for drivers to enter their user credentials before starting the data transfer process?
Guidance: The data transfer process does not require a driver to re-enter user credentials to activate the data transfer process. However, a driver must be logged in to an electronic logging device (ELD) to access data recorded and stored on the system.
