FMCSA Data Transfer Procedures – For Drivers

The Output File is a special inspection report available in the GPSTab app. It contains your key Hours of Service (HOS) data and ELD usage details required for FMCSA inspections.

All ELD-enabled drivers can send this file directly from their app when requested by a DOT officer or inspector.
​

How to Send the Output File (Data Transfer to DOT)

  1. Open the GPSTab app.

  2. Tap the Menu (☰) in the top-left corner.

  3. Select Inspection Module.

  4. Tap Send Output File (3rd button).

  5. Enter the Safety Official or Investigation Code provided by the officer.

  6. Tap Send.
    ​

The system automatically transfers your data via a web service to the FMCSA database.

The file includes your logs for the past 8 days (today + 7 previous days), along with your driver profile, log graph, and status history.
​

Important:

  • The Output File can’t be viewed or downloaded by drivers - it’s only accessible to FMCSA officials.
    ​

If you encounter an error while sending the file, ensure you have a stable internet connection and contact GPSTab Support for assistance.
