OOS / INS Macros are Automatic now

dadeo2my3 · Oct 31, 2011

Now owner operators can use the Qualcomm MCP200 to AUTOMATICALLY put the vehicle OUT OF SERVICE and back IN SERVICE; the information will now go directly to Load One's dispatch software.

If a Macro 23 (OOS) is sent by the owner operators it will put the vehicle Out Of Service. Driver just needs to show a reason code (1 thru 7) and possible return to service date and time. This will AUTOMATICALLY put the vehicle Out Of Service in the dispatch system.

If a Macro 24 (INS) is sent by the owner operator it will put the vehicle back In Service. This will AUTOMATICALLY put the vehicle In Service in the dispatch system.

There should be no need to call dispatch to show your vehicle Out Of Service OR In Service.

Hopefully this will help to make things smoother for our owner ops!

You guys are QUITE the team! I'm sure we all appreciate it!

It should certainly help dispatch a lot, not having to waste time putting people in and out of service.

Having the ability to do this was brought up just very recently, and now already it's in place. That's impressive.

Fingers crossed it works! Not all of our great ideas or software modifications have gone well off the launch pad.

I'm confident that this will work.
It has been tested (last week) and worked fine without any modifying anything from the dispatcher's end.

I used it sunday afternoon to go in service and it worked fine...

I used both last week and it worked just fine...

I've used it today to go out of service and back into service and it worked without a hitch. It seemed to work at the end of last week, but I didn't know it was the new improved, automated version. Thanks.
