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...

I am working on that very issue Layout!

Just because you are on an EOBR does not mean you cannot keep a hard copy of your log books which we will until the company will provide us with the information we need for the IRS.

I was wondering if anyone had Pat and Don's cookbook? They are an awesome couple and are involved in. They are also going to help to sponsor the Walk at MATS and will be giving away a few cookbooks and coupons.

Well I have one GPS leading me and one GPS set to follow me! You are right though we do not blindly follow our GPS and so we do still get lost! But at least now we know how lost we really are as we see the mileage increase on how to get back to the customer.

We were in meetings all week and last night we had our first load with the new QC. The install took about two hours as everything has to be replaced. The dome is the same size but the black box is much smaller. The actual QC is about 1/3 of the size as our old QC and I really like that part...

petie1957 I would suggest that you read back through the forums about vans and their income. Have you called any of the companies and talked to recruiters to see if any van owners are looking for a driver?

aileron with the Driver Tech the dome is very small and we have a whip antenna. I know that the new QC uses a similar system but I do not know yet how big the dome is I will let you know this evening after we have ours installed.

We will be getting the new unit today and for us we welcome the change. We were one of the ones that tested the Driver Tech system which is very similar to this new QC. There are several things that we are looking forward to. One is the the ability to send and receive messages on the unit...

How do you suggest the Hall of Fame be done? What are the requirements for picking who gets into the Hall? Do they receive a diploma a plaque or... Who pays for the award? Is there just a forum for who has been inducted into the hall of fame and a little bio on them? Do we vote on who...

Hey Dreamer I cannot write a poem and in reality I can barely write but I want to be the first to wish you a very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! You are the best!

With CSA looming on the horizon that warned could cost you big time before it is said and done with. Right now any warning or ticket that is issued goes against you and will be grandfathered in to the new system at double the points. A warning in a few ways is worse then getting a ticket. A...

Congrats! I really enjoy the coffee at Pilot
