A Yard Move is driving defined as On Duty (not driving). This status only appears as an option in the Samsara Driver App if it has been configured by your fleet or carrier administrator.
NOTE If you are ELD Exempt, you will not be able to use HOS functionality while using the Samsara Driver App.
ELD Exempt
If your fleet administrator has designated you as a driver who is exempt from use of an ELD, you will not be able to use HOS functionality while using the Samsara Driver App.
In the United States, when you manually select YM (Yard Move) and you are enabled for auto-duty, the Yard Move status will remain unless there is an engine restart.
If the Samsara Driver App is active when an engine restart occurs, the Samsara Driver App will automatically prompt you to confirm if you would like to remain in Yard Move. If you do not confirm this before the 300 second timer on the app runs out, the Samsara Driver App transitions your status to Off Duty.
NOTE If you navigate away from the app or close it and restart the engine, you must manually reselect YM to continue operating in YM status.
To manually set the Yard Move status:
From the Hours of Service view, tap the duty status bar.
Set your status to YM Yard Move.
If your location cannot be determined, the Samsara Driver App prompts you to either continue without a location, or to cancel and first choose your location. For more information, see Missing Location. If you set your location, repeat this step to select the duty status.

Duty status changes require location information for log entries.
