    If the Geo Fence isn't correct or updated it will cause it to mark driver error also you drivers have got to make sure your ELD is working correctly cause for example when you arrive at location boom its logged but most drivers forget and it only messing with safety bonuses so when you are doing paper work and dont put tractor in drive with out immediately departing that hun or warehouse cause if you dont it will mess all stuff up also if you forget to log when you arrived and waited until your delivery is complete for the love of God dont log arrived and immediately departed cause it will flag you
