    to me it sounds like managing your hours
    team operation running 8 hours each still 7000 miles a week
    no restart needed
    but i can hardly stand myself let alone someone else in the truck
    if i did team there would only be one person in charge me

    It very unusual for teams to stay together for long periods of time unless they are involved in a relationship with one another. Maybe its time to try solo work.

    Maybe he knows that DOT doesn't require a restart. He is apparently a expert at logbooking 101.

    Maybe he knows what he is doing.

    Question: My QC does not have an edit button...... all I can do is approve. Is that management or is it the cheap platform? ( MCP 50 )

    And I can tell you how to access the programming on the unit but changing anything is beyond me........
