Using the Break Planning Feature on a dēzl Device

Note: The Break Planning feature is not an approved substitute for logbook recording requirements under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. A Garmin eLog™ Compliant ELD, when integrated with your dēzl™ device, will allow a motor carrier to comply with Hours of Service (HOS) logging and break requirements. Visit garmin.com/eLog for more information.

The Break Planning feature will notify you if you have approached the maximum number of drive hours on your route. The device will suggest adding a stop to the route to prevent a HOS (Hours of Service) violation.

Your device must be in the Truck usage mode to enable this feature. See the owner's manual for instructions to change the device usage mode.

• The Garmin eLog app must have a valid driver name set.

• You are 1 hour away or have reached a driving time violation (i.e. daily or weekly).

This up ahead map tool shows the standard up ahead map tool options as set by you.

• You are 1 hour away from or have reached your continuous driving limit.

  • Note: Continuous driving is stopped when your speed goes below 5mph for 15 minute or more.

Note: See Regulations and Exemptions Supported by the Garmin eLog for more information on limits.

For HOS (US-only):

• As of 9/29/2020, the ‘driving’ status is the only status that doesn’t contribute to rest-breaks. “On Duty” and “Yard Moves” can now contribute to a rest-break.

• 30-min is the required duration for a rest-break, not 15-min.

• The required rest-break is 8-hr from the (a) start of their day or (b) their last rest-break.

• The required rest-break only applies to property-carrying vehicles, passenger-carrying vehicles are not required to take a break.
