    Democratic Presidential Nominee: Who you got?

    The Democrats know that neither Biden nor Sanders can beat Trump. But they know that if Bernie is the nominee he'll utterly destroy the downballot Dems. Moderate democrats will stay home and sit this one out. But, if Biden is the nominee, they think enough democrats will get out and vote to save...

    I can't remember the time period, either, but after a certain period of time, the message turns red online in Fleet Vision and shows as undelivered. But it still makes it to the app.

    You should tell that to the dispatchers who say, "I'll call you right back," and then never do. :JC-hysterical:

    It is. So, for those drivers who don't use the app, they get it over the QC, anyway. An of course, the QC will read out messages to you audibly if you like. Far as I know, they don't (or maybe even can't) send messages directly to the app. They send QC messages, and the system then pulls those...

    second chance

    I guess I should have been less subtle. No, nobody is going to touch you. The insurance companies won't let them. Failing a planned drug test goes directly to judgement, And that kind of bad judgment is more of a risk than they have to take. There are simply too many other potential drivers who...

    second chance

    Failing a surprise, random drug test is pretty bad, but when you fail a planned drug test that you know is coming? Oh, my goodness.

    The message contents are irrelevant. Fleet messages are fine, regardless of whether they pertain to me personally. Don't really care when the messages are sent. Could be sent all at the same time or staggered in 15 minute increments. Couldn't care less. The issue is multiple, redundant messages...

    At 0730 this morning, or as people here in St George, Utah (where I'm OOS waiting for a part to come in this afternoon) like to call it, OH FIVE THIRTY, I was jarred awake by a phone call, from a computer, that awesomely read to me out loud the contents of a freeform QC message (that also, of...

    MLB Champions: The Houston Asterisks

    They are the same. Stealing signs isn't cheating, as long as the players are doing it themselves on the field of play and aren't using technology or utilizing people outside the field of play to do it.

    MLB Champions: The Houston Asterisks

    Deflating footballs. De. The Commissioner issued an edict to all of the managers for no beanballs. No throwing at anyone intentionally (which is totally subjective and requires the umpire to read the pitcher's mind). Sooooo, the Astros win again. Manfred morphed himself into a trashcan, and...

    MLB Champions: The Houston Asterisks

    Yup. MLB is going to have to try and do something. It's not just a few players who are mad, it's all of them. I'll be surprised if the Astros win the 80 games this year.

    The poor guy who drew the short straw and had to call me to get an explanation of what I'm taking about. :rolleyes: It was kinda like trying to explain to a cave salamander about something called The Sun. But once I was able to convey to him exactly what was happening, he was like, "Yeah, OK...

    If Bernie becomes the nominee, it's Walter Mondale all over again.

    Feb 2020 in the land of the ONE!

    Mindy (and Matt) will disagree. :D Mindy sent out a fleet wide message earlier (instead of just to certain trucks, and then Matt sent another one to disregard the first one), but it was sent as a text, and as a QC message (so as an app message, as well). In addition, something I neglected to...

    Feb 2020 in the land of the ONE!

    These text messages are getting annoying. One text message gets sent, but we receive one text message, one app message, and one QC message, all the same, and we have to respond to all three, even if it's just to read and clear it. CLUT TER!
