If a driver is not obliged to be compliant with the Hours of Service (HOS) mandate, or perform an asset inspection (DVIR), and the Drive App user is the Security Clearance from which you would like to create a Sub Clearance, you can type in the Search feature box the words DVIR and disable the features, and then do the same with HOS.

Make sure the driver is assigned to the group where the vehicles they would be using are, so that the driver could assign himself to those vehicles and categorize the trips.
