Ho Ho Whooo its December!

The current omnitracs do not support Bluetooth. They are looking at that ability for future or wifi to allow the phones to use our data plan possibly. In my talks with them a lot of security issues with it and the whole connected trucks and that, they are concerned about. The satellites have always been very “closed” architecture.

Just curious. I can link my phone to my GPS via Bluetooth to get calls. Linking a phone to the QC seemed like a good thing.

Don't overthink it. It's giving us the information we care about and that we can use.

It's showing the current status of all of the trucks in your truck class (in your case, cargo vans, Sprinters, Sprinter-esque types) that are available for loads. The little blue icons are Load One trucks, be the orange trucks are the Sylectus trucks. Show/hide either type by tapping the icon on the left of the screen.

It happens.

No. Only for vehicles in your truck class. Booked and missed loads for vehicles other than my type is information I couldn't care less about, because it's useless to me. Like I said, information we want, and can use.

Thanks for the info. Makes a lot more sense now. So now I love it!

How long are the missed/booked loads on there before updating?
Question being am I'm looking at recent daily activity or from days/weeks ago.

You have the ability to look at it for last two days, 14 days, 30 days or a certain day of last week. BAM!

I'm not sure, but I think it's real time. I'll try and find out what the exact time on it is. But, I've gotten a call on a few loads that we didn't get, and they were showing up as red pushpins on the map immediately. Same with loads we got. You can get a load out of some town where no other loads have come out, and as soon as you get the information over the phone, go look at the loadmap, Last 2 Days, and there it is.

So, if you're looking at the Last 2 days worth of activity, it'll be the last 2 days up through the last time the app was refreshed (you can swipe down on most screens to refresh). I'll find out, but I have a feeling the "last 2 days" means the previous 48 hours as of right now. A load from 49 hours ago won't show up on the 2 Days filter. Again, I'm guessing, based on how it seems to work, but unless John knows for sure, I'll try and find out.

I should add to a previous post for clarity, any trucks that are dispatched on a load, or are OOS, will not show up on the map.

Also, no matter what time frame you're filtering (2 days, 14 Days, 30 Days, a specific day), the trucks showing on the map are current in real time.

There are also drivers from other carriers reading this stuff going, "WTF?!?! I want that. I want that bad!"

Wow, that's really great. But I'm not seeing those options. Where is it?

Ahhh, never mind I just figured it out lol.

I wish it came with instruction

This App is becoming more powerful by the second

There's an instructional PDF complete with screencaps, but I guess it's still in beta.

Well I'm oos til Monday. Going to a Christmas dinner which is at noon i think with family Saturday. If I can get the van restock before I leave for the dinner, I might get back in service Saturday at noon.

 

[RoadTime]

Got the van out of the shop. Nothing found wrong. Guess I over reacted this time to a new noise
With all the repairs the last 2 months, I guess I'm just expecting the worse

Back at it on Monday, unless I need a good sleep and go back in the van. I thought it was the bed in my last motel stay that I couldn't get longer then 5hrs of sleep. But now at home having the same issue. I think I've been sleeping in the van too much this year

I think we need to give John Elliott a big round of applause for investing in this technology. We are now the most technological advanced expedite carrier and possibly the most advanced of all carriers. Best Fleet to Drive For should be a lock this year.
Thank you Mr Elliott.

I actually didn't pay any attention to the link in the PM I got. I just thought it was a link to download the app.

 

[jelliott]

Nope. I sent the message to everyone on here. Should have had the literature and a little walk through video link as well. Was hoping to try and make it a bit easier.

Jim, that's what I've said from the beginning! Anyone here doesn't see or can't understand what they got here at Load One is crazy. Load One is by far the best expedite company period and this just proves it again! I couldn't agree with you more!
