Purpose
The Log Over button on the MDT is used to save time for run changes and operator reliefs. When the first operator is ready to hand the vehicle over to the second driver, they simply press the ‘Log Over’ button instead of using ‘Log Out’ at the end of their shift.
If an operator is at a relief point and a new operator is taking the vehicle, the operator simply touches the log over button’, then the relief operator logins in, without having to log off the MDT completely. This saves valuable time for driver relief points and job changes! Log Over allows for a faster transition between operators without an interruption to passenger information on myStop!
Important Tip: The Log Over function is configured for trips scheduled for the same route.

Other Considerations
Following a successful log over, the MDT may perform differently depending on your myAvail vehicle system configuration. The MDT:
- may not require pretrip vehicle inspections for the new Driver
- may walk the new driver through a set of pretrip vehicle inspection screens using the previous driver’s results,
- may walk the new driver through a new set of pretrip vehicle inspection screens, or
- the MDT may prompt the new driver to decide to start new pretrip vehicle inspections or use the previous driver's results.
