The truck friendly part of the GPS does not seem to work very well. We have been routed down roads that say no trucks. We have also not been real impressed with the HazMar routing of the GPS. The interesting part of the GPS is that when you get your load it populated the dispatch field of the...

Hey I want to come to your house for supper! I have never made home made noodles but I sure do like them. I can just see the egg noodles hung all over the truck drying! Do you cook the noodles before you pack them? I have found when I make spaghetti at home I can easily freeze my cooked...

You will have a receipt from the shop for shop time.

Great information thanks for sharing!

That sounds pretty neat. How is the price for the pen? Do you know if you can purchase them at Best Buy?

The EOBR is tied into your ECM. When the truck moves the logging begins. I believe that when you use your truck for personal use such as moving someone you are to cover up all signs and numbers. One of the other issues is when loaded you cannot use the truck for personal conveyance. Here...

One of these days I have hope we will move into the vision of using the QC to send our departure information in on. If we could do this on all "normal" departs the phone system use would be cut down in 1/2 I believe. I wonder though on advertising on our the phone system if this is the same...

I agree with you on this. We though can be controlled through HOS and the shipper and consignee cannot. Through us they will end up controlling the shipper and the consignee or another plan will be made. Listening in on the hearing it was loud and clear exactly where the problem was and...

The HOS rules have not changed just because of an EOBR's. If you read the posts on the EOBR's it appears that many people are running illegal on paperlogs. Layoutshooter one way to keep from having the co-driver get up is to fuel at the truckstops where you can get your receipt at the pump...

Re: Expediting Expo/workshop The workshop was a lot of fun and we met some very interesting people.

You can have the QC mounted how ever you like or you can mount it yourself.

If you think that is even remotely true next time you are at the office sit down with the dispatchers for a few hours and watch how the system works. Get the facts on how loads are dispatched, how the computer calculates load pay, and how the trucks come up in the system to be dispatched. Get...

One of things to keep in mind is that many of these rules are for a commercial vehicle and has nothing to do with FedEx making the rules.

If you are going to place the QC where you cannot see it you need to keep the sound up so you can hear when you get a message. We have found for us we keep the sound down and the lit envelope gets our attention. If we had the QC hidden we would not be able to see the lit envelope.

Piper1 the QC are all new and that darn cord is very stiff and unyielding. I am wondering if 5 years if it will be pliable.

We will be there....

Dreamer as of right now IT does not have this on the Extranet so we are really trying to do a little CYB until this information is available.

You bring up a good point on keeping a paper log and also using the EOBR which is why the discussion is good. We are concerned about the IRS and FCC is concerned about DOT audits. Another option might be to have the past 7 days faxed to you for your records. The log book records that I would...

This site has the infraction points. I also like the site as there is an area for how CSA 2010 will affect the drivers. CSA 2010 FMCSA New Carrier Rating System Measured by 7 Behavior Analysis & Safety Improvement Categories Knowledge is power and knowledge is how we plan on keeping our...

Layout you seem to be under a HUGE misconception the EOBR is not for the drivers ease of use or convenience. How we look at it is we will take the EOBR and do everything possible to make this system work for us. I also do not like the idea of having to create logs while on the EOBR but the...
