A suggestion I would like to make would be, I think, of great use to the vanners/sprinters/cubers/spartaners here at Load One.Along with the load information sent to us via the quallcomm, I think it would be so nice to have the freight measurements also.
I know that it is available via fleetvision, but not everyone will have their computer on at time of load dispatch, and alot of times, minutes are crucial to picking up a load ontime.
Knowing the dimensions would let us know if we have to tear down a bed:what to and what not to re-arrange:let us know if we are going to have a place to sleep, or take a nap, if it is a long run:can we double stack the freight:So that way, when we get to a shipper, we can make the proper arrangements inside our van quickly, then walk in and take care of business, without holding up the shipper.No surprises.
just a thought.

Nope...size and number of pallets are NOT always available on fleetvision. If it doesn't come through on your qualcom, it won't show up on fleetvision. Trust me...I've looked too often for Ken when he's been in that mad rush to get to a shipper.

Sorry, Judy, you're wrong on this one.The last load I did, had nothing on the q-c, but it DID show up on fleetvision, dimensions, and everything.

Go onto Fleetvision, go into vehicle management,and then go into the yellow box,(click).Ken's driving now..Where would I find that Ken? I've already been surprised 3 times

In this kind of scenerio I think the driver should be out of service. Too much can happen when separated from a vehicle.

and just where do you find that info...I usually click on the orange trip and it comes up with all the info...but as I said before...if ken didn't get it on qualcom when he got the trip, the dim and piece count doesn't show up on fleetvision...so educate me...I'm obviously missing something.

I believe what Guido is saying that although the dimensions might show on FV, they never show on QC, and if they did, it might help.

Thank you, Scott for clearing this up, as simple as I thought it may of been.....lol..
Sweet, thanks. My QC had the pieces and weight, but not the dimensions. FV has the exact measurements. That's good to know it's there 'sometimes'... I'll check that if I have time on loads.

Hey OVM: did you know that you can program your phone to pause when calling, then add another number [123 456 7890, pause, 3, pause, 3] to choose the option?
Just thought I'd throw that in, since it seems the only issue that wasn't addressed already.
Cool..thanks....
