<LOCATION>CASAS BLANCAS, TM

There is a snot load of trucks from other carriers show up there....so it is a FV problem
Its a QC problem. All Qualcomms for all carriers do the same thing. If you look at the GPS positioning on a map it'll show you right where you are sitting, but the reported city/state will almost always been in Mexico, usually Casas Blancas. It's been that way at least ever since I've been coming down here.

Need a Row Boat in Roanoke VA, been raining for pretty much the last 30 hours. Getting a little old. Keeping the temp down, but dampness is moving in. Oh yeah, speaking of moving, hint hint :p

Why is my Drive Time clock running all if the time? At the shipper and when I stopped for fuel, all the time in On Duty status came off my driving time. This is also before my 30 min break. We'll see what happens after the break.

Dispatch has been doing an awesome job trying to get me a load....so far, a lot of offers, but no deal. But, sitting comes with the territory, especially in a week like this. So, If I end up not moving for the holiday, It's cool. Just wait it out...

Your drive clock counts down because of the 30 minute break. It will change after you take the break.

It did... after I took my second 30 min break. It appears that if you take your mandatory 30 minute break early in your 8 hrs, you'll need to take a second 30 minute break to obtain any remaining time in your 11 hr bucket.

Well yeah.... A 30 minute break for every 8 hours of driving . You have to drive I think like the first 3 hrs before you do your 30... II you have that long of load....a 300. mile load you should never have to take that break

Happy 4th to you from the soggy south! 2 days of non-stop rain, but yet comfortably cool. No worries on the sitting, as Caryrn called me with a load for the 5th.No problems here.

Finally a break in the Roanoke rain. Had a really nice load last night, but then it grew and was too long, bummer. Happy 4th gang :)
