Sign Up

Open the app and tap "Continue with Mobile"
After the OneRoad splash screen loads, tap Continue with Mobile at the bottom of the screen.
Enter your mobile number
Type your Australian mobile number and tap Continue. OneRoad will send a 4-digit verification code via SMS.

Select your role — Driver
When prompted to choose a user type, select Driver. This configures your account for EWD compliance recording.

Already have an account? Signing in takes less than a minute — no password needed.
Tap "Continue with Mobile"
On the splash screen, tap Continue with Mobile.

Type the number linked to your OneRoad account and tap Continue.
Enter your SMS code
A fresh 4-digit code is sent each time you sign in. Enter it to access your account.
Starting a Shift
Before you begin driving, start a shift in the app. This activates your EWD recording for the day.
Tap "Start Shift" on the home screen
You'll be asked to confirm your starting location and select the vehicle you're operating.
Select your vehicle
Choose the vehicle by registration number. If your vehicle isn't listed, contact your fleet manager to have it added before your shift.
Confirm your fatigue scheme
The app shows your active fatigue scheme — Standard Hours, BFM, or AFM. Confirm it is correct before proceeding.
Enter your odometer reading
Enter the current odometer reading from the vehicle's dashboard. This is a regulatory requirement.
Tap "Begin Shift"
Your EWD is now recording. Your initial status is set to Work automatically.
Logging Work & Rest
Update your status throughout the day to accurately record your work and rest times for fatigue compliance.
Change your status when it changes in real life
Tap your current status on the home screen to update it. When you stop for a break, switch from Driving to Rest. When you resume, switch back.
Record all non-driving work
Loading, pre-trip inspections, and admin all count as Work time — even if you're not behind the wheel. Record these accurately as they contribute to your total work hours.
Take rest breaks when the app alerts you
The app notifies you when a rest break is due. Switch to Rest at the start of your break and back to Driving or Work when you resume.
Two-Up Driving
Two-up driving allows two drivers to share a vehicle and access extended driving periods under specific fatigue rules.
Both drivers must be registered in OneRoad
Ensure both drivers have active accounts linked to the same fleet before enabling two-up.
Enable Two-Up from the shift menu
From your active shift screen, tap the menu and select Enable Two-Up. Search for the second driver by name or mobile number.
Both drivers confirm the arrangement
The second driver receives a prompt in their app to confirm. Both must accept before two-up recording begins.
Each driver logs their own status independently
Once active, each driver records their own work and rest. The app automatically links both records to the shared journey.
Compliance & Records
The app continuously monitors your fatigue hours and gives you a clear view of your compliance status and work diary history.
Check your fatigue status anytime
Your live compliance status is on the home screen. Tap it to see time worked, time rested, and time remaining before your next mandatory break.
Act immediately on breach alerts
If the app alerts you to a fatigue breach, pull over safely and rest. The alert details exactly what rest is required and for how long. Do not continue driving.
View and export your work diary
Tap Records in the bottom navigation to view your full diary. Export as PDF to send to yourself, your fleet manager, or a regulator on request.
End your shift
At the end of your day, tap End Shift. Enter your final odometer reading and confirm. Records are saved and stored automatically.
Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to resolve them quickly.
Wait 30 seconds and tap Resend code. Check the number you entered is correct. If the issue continues, check that your phone isn't blocking messages from unknown numbers, then contact support@oneroad.io.
Vehicles are added by your fleet manager in the OneRoad portal. Contact your fleet manager and ask them to register the vehicle registration number before your shift.
Do not start your shift. Contact your fleet manager to correct the scheme — Standard Hours, BFM, or AFM — before proceeding. Starting a shift with the wrong scheme will produce non-compliant records.
Go to your phone's Settings → Privacy → Location Services and set OneRoad to Always. In poor signal areas, the app continues recording time — location syncs when signal returns.
Contact your fleet manager immediately. EWD records can be amended by the record keeper within the regulatory timeframe. Accurate records protect both you and your employer.
Force-close and reopen the app. Check for a pending update in the App Store or Google Play. If the issue persists on the latest version, email support@oneroad.io with your device model and OS version.
