Yes I did, and re-applied some more caliper slide lubricant as well to the caliper slipes, hoping this may do the trick.

On Sunday, September 30, around 3 pm. Eastern time, there was a major fiber cut near our data center. The company managing the data center is working to repair the service. Our service provider is estimating service to be restored by 7 pm Eastern time. As you can imagine, anyone that uses this major fiber link is affected.
Sylectus is working with our server provider to find alternative routes to the data center.
Please stand by for further news. We will let you know the moment we find out.

I wonder what will happen to solo drivers if mandatory EOBRs are imposed upon us - because we won't be able to absorb the detention [unless FMCSA can be persuaded to reinstate the split sleeper as it was before 03] and still make direct deliveries, in too many cases.
Before 03, we could log it as sleeper, [which it was: we took a nap when we could get it, lol] and it pushed the 14 hr clock out, so we didn't complain [much] about the detention time, and the customers got used to it. The change in the split sleeper didn't force the customers or carriers to address the issue [as it should have], it just prompted a demand for teams. Expedite needs solos, though, to cover the shorter loads that don't make sense for teams to take.
How many miles can we 'guarantee' direct delivery, if we may have to account for up to 4 hours detention in the allotted 14?
Just another reason [if anyone needed one
] to let someone else have those customers whose demands are unreasonable, IMO.Make that ludicrous: a driver's time is limited and monitored by federal law, and they don't need to acknowledge that, much less pay for the time they waste?
My last delivery, I waited 45 minutes for the ONE available dock [of dozens] for expedite to be free, then another 45 before the green light - what if I had only an hour [of the 14] left when I arrived? How could I legally drive to a parking place off site? Why must I keep choosing between the rock of FMCSA's regs and the hard place of 'customer's requirements'?
I know what my own experiences have been, I'm just hoping the carriers are collecting and aggregating the data to force some changes, or detention is going to eliminate solos from expedite.
This has been bothering me for awhile, does it show?
