qualcomm is back to normal. i delivered, sent in pod, scanned paperwork. then i went out of service. couple hours later dispatch called to see if i had delivered yet. then frankie called with a load offer, because his system showed me still in service. it defeats the purpose of having the qualcomm system if i have to call dispatch or matt to confirm every entry i make.

if i have to audit the system by confirming qualcomm entries against fleetvision, we should have a macro that sends an error message that highlights the conflict. that would save on more calls to dispatch and matt.

That would be a great idea. But if the satellite message doesn't make it to us and Sylectus, it wouldnt know to update either so it wouldn't have a conflict per say. Matt will be calling to see if we can find the issue.

Exchanged the second defective Wacker generator for a new Honda today.....even though I was willing to pay the price difference between the two, I had a hard time having to pay the 15% re-stocking fee, reduced from 25%....being as how it was defective....But, as Ray, full of wisdom told me, buying one elsewhere would involve in paying sales tax, more lost revenue, and more frustration....just cut my losses and run.....But, this one seems to be doing fine so far.....lol....It is a lot quieter than my old Cummins/Onan....Hoping tomorrow will be the end of this slow period for me, and the beginning of a better streak of luck....

Well Eddie does hold the top spot on the leader board. Not the good leader board either :(

Hoping this week sees an increase as we move out of shutdown!

And just why would it increase?.....maybe the movement of prototype parts "yes"....or maybe when a whole shipment has been red tagged."yes"...other then that suppliers have had 2-3 weeks to catch up what they were behind in their inventory....when I was making Ford parts that what my company did...2 weeks of just making the arrears parts....never had to expedite again for maybe 4-6 weeks until we ran short again...

yes it'll pick up a little...but not "busy" tho....IMO

Your up there, but Eddie had first place locked, lol.

A number of plants came back up online this week. As well a number are doing rolling changeovers. Yes while suppliers had time to "catch up" during shutdown it rarely works out anymore. With some plants up and some down, they are not able to efficiently manage the downtime and get maint work done like in the old days when every plant went down at once. I agree it may not be super busy right away but it starts the upward trend for the second half of the year.
