    Dayuuum..... I'm joining the "If it's onna computer it must be true" crowd.

    On my PeopleNet screen there's a little winnow that reports "Instant MPG". On my last trip it done reported I was gettin' 175.75 mpg loaded and touched 184 empty. Yeehawwww!! :biggrin_2559:

    On the bad side, I must have a leak summeres cause I hadda fuel 4 times. :biggrin_25524:

    Ain't electronic OBR's wunnerful?:biggrin_25525:

    A few years ago laying asleep. Qualcom went off saying I was in a log violation. Look at it and it showed me over 400 miles away from where I was. Called logs. Surprisingly they fixed it without any grief and back to sleep I went.

    Had a problem similar to that.Said I was in violation of 14hr rule.Sent 3 requests for correction and had to call logs to get it straightened out.Simply had to get them to check odometer reading.Every message would post odometer readings.

    I've got PeopleNet... It's been a real treat so far.

    Will automatically change from driving to on-duty while going down the road.
    Will change from on-duty to driving while stopped or parked.
    Speed gauge shows me driving like a mad-man on 2 lane road-> 65 in a 55.
    Must shut truck off to change duty status.
    Won't let me log out/ log in at times.

    Peoplenet says it's the truck. Shop says it's PeopleNet software.

    It's wonderful technology alright......
