Enhancements
Canadian DVIR Enhancements
Turnpike DVIR functions have been updated, and are now in compliance with regulations specific to
Canadian DVIR requirements. These regulations require a driver to describe inspection defects as
“major” or “minor” when completing a driver vehicle inspection report. The regulations also require
the capture and display of additional vehicle information including vehicle year, make, odometer,
plate number, inspection location, vehicle ownership, and dates the vehicle was first and most
recently operated. These fields
display only when populated in
the Vehicle Profile page, which
has also bee updated.
Turnpike now recognizes the
jurisdiction (CA/US/MX) where the
inspection occurred. A
jurisdiction-specific inspection list
is presented to the driver, and the
correct data is recorded in
TurnpikeDirect.

Vehicle Profile Updates
The Vehicle Profile page in TurnpikeDirect has been updated with several new fields. These new
fields include:
•
•
•
State/Prov. Dropdown: A two-letter abbreviation for the license plate field. Includes all states
and provinces.
Owned By: A new field to indicate owner. This field accepts up to 50 characters, and accepts
alphanumeric and special characters as well as spaces. If Leased is checked, this is a required
field.
If Leased is checked:
o The Owned By field is required.
o The Leased Date field is required. If Leased Date is not known, then the creation date
of the vehicle is used as the Leased Date.
o Last Date Operated By Carrier is enabled. This new field is read-only. The value is
determined by the date the vehicle status is set to Inactive.

Carrier and Fleet Information
When a vehicle’s carrier location differs from the fleet location, Turnpike adjusts the way
information is displayed, and accurately differentiates between carrier and fleet information.
For example, in the image below, the carrier’s main headquarters is in Chicago, IL. However, the
vehicle’s home terminal, or fleet, is in Minneapolis. Turnpike differentiates carrier and fleet
information, including Group HOS settings.

North Dakota HOS Rules
The US 7 Day North Dakota ruleset is now available for use with Turnpike. This ruleset displays as ND
7/70 hrs. in TurnpikeDirect reports.
Software Corrections
This release includes software corrections to address existing issues, and to improve overall product
performance and stability. Selected software corrections are described in the table below. If you
have questions about the status of a specific issue, contact Solutions Support.
Item
Issue Description
Customer Impact of Solution
1.
Inserting Vehicle Inspections: If an unpaired
inspection record was edited, then a user
attempted to delete the inspection event, the
system was unable to completely remove the
event. As a result, a new inspection event could
not be saved in TurnpikeDirect.
This issue has been corrected. Updated
vehicle inspection records can now be
completely removed from TurnpikeDirect,
and new inspection events can be added and
saved successfully.
2.
HOS Rule on Driver Log: The wrong HOS ruleset
was showing on some driver logs.
This issue has been corrected. The correct
HOS ruleset is displayed on driver logs.

3.
Deleting Vehicle Inspections: When a user
attempted to delete a vehicle inspection, the
line would turn red and the inspection
appeared to be marked for deletion. When the
page was reloaded, however, the inspection
remained.
This issue has been resolved. Users can now
delete vehicle inspections successfully.
4.
Co-Driver on Logs: In certain circumstances, a
co-driver was added to a driver’s log on a day
when there was no co-driver on a trip.
This issue has been resolved. A co-driver
entry is no longer present on logs for days
with only one active driver.
5.
Scroll Bars: The Unassigned Vehicle Activity
page did not have scroll bars. It was not
possible to see all events on the page.
This issue has been corrected. When there
are more events than can be displayed on
one page, scroll bars allow a user to navigate
the additional events.
6.
Unassigned Vehicle Activity: In some
circumstances, unassigned vehicle events
appeared on the Unassigned Vehicle report,
even though a driver was associated with the
vehicle at the time of the reported events.
This issue has been corrected. Vehicle
activity is no longer reported as unassigned
during times when the vehicle is associated
with a driver.
7.
Driver Assignment Summary: When the Driver
Assignment Summary report was run for certain
groups, the report did not complete
successfully and results were not displayed.
This issue has been corrected. The Driver
Assignment Summary Report can now be run
successfully regardless of the group selected.
