    I could tell you from experience that if you stay on that load to Wilmington Illinois from butterball if the appointment time is not changed it will go from dropping to a live unload and you’ll be work in & you’ll be there roughly 7 hours.

    The pins might all look retracted, but I have had it where 1 was just holding enough to keep it from sliding...then when it does start sliding, it's CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK at every hole it slides past. Plus PB Blaster every hole on both sides, plus spray as much as you can on the surface where the tandem chassis pads slide on the rail. Sounds like you might have contracted the "Snackbar" curse for equipment issues.

    Last month and a half, I rarely saw Flying Peelots on my fuel solution. This month, I have had 1 or 2 Love's, the rest has been Flying Peelots. My partial fill today will put me at 5 points per gallon (not sure when they started going above 4, but I am at 4.5 right now). Yesterday, I dropped my 2nd load for the day. The 2nd dropped in Corinne, UT and they had 1 empty(that's the 2nd Wally DC in a week that has only had 1 empty trailer) and it's filthy. Not pallet scrap filthy, but ground in crud. I am picking up in Ogden this afternoon, and there are only non-Blue Beacon washouts around, so I tried to get in there with my 2 gallons of water and clean it, but it's just too bad. Guess I am gonna have to cough up some cash to have this thing washed out. The load drops at the A-hole Grocery in KC before 0400 on Friday.

    Issue with trailer was 2 brakes were completely out of alignment and the brakes weren't even making contact with the drum. Either another driver brought it here like this or the customer had issues moving the tandems and changed the adjustments on the brakes.

    Now current load status. Surprisingly no one responded to any of my msgs last night. Still technically not on the load yet since I can't get my loaded call to go through till they fix the trailer issue. Hopefully morning crew can get the whole issue fixed and reset my delivery window so I'm not wasting time.

    Morning dispatch fixed my loaded call but all they said was for to deliver when I'm safely able too. Looks like it's going to be a long day tomorrow.

    Since they downloaded that CoPilot crap on my Peoplenet (that I haven't activated), my unit has been quirky. The other day while driving down the road, on the safe screen that you see while moving, the bottom right side with the switchable section (miles today, direction, speed, etc.) Was switching itself, rapidly...I would try to blank the screen, but it would turn itself back on instantly. I ended up doing a reset on it while moving(which then caused the red triangle to appear). It has been disconnecting from the truck's black box and going into non-eld mode 2 or 3 times a day. And, Drivewyze has been randomly stopping frequently, but because I don't stare at the Peoplenet, I don't see the pop-up warning and I don't realize it's off until the next scale. I have tried to find a way to uninstall the CoPilot, but it's incorporated into the e'Fleets Suite app, so I can't. Hey Lincoln...quit adding more and more driver annoyances to our equipment or else the only drivers you be able to attract are Swift and CRE rejects.
