* When your Motorola reaches a low level of battery (15% by default, though you can customize it), the battery saver mode automatically starts and ignores the battery optimization setting you've chosen previously, so steps 8, 9, and 10 are advisable.
If you are still having problems disabling your android device's battery optimization, please "Give Feedback" in the "Services" tab of the app or email carriersupport@convoy.com. It is important to have this turned off so Convoy can process your correct in/out times, etas, and detention.
