    Looking for info on getting preplan sent to phone.
    Guess it gets sent via text message?

    1) Does it come as multiple texts? origin,destination,low clearance,fuel route.... or just one with all the info?

    2) can't find a place on the online portal to set it up. Does it have to be at a kiosk or through your DM only?
    (be nice if you could turn the feature on/off via the portal)

    3) Do ALL qc messages get sent or just preplans? ie: idle time, goal, etc etc

    Anything else?

    Thanks!

    You have to set it up using the Kiosk.

    Go to payroll then update info to set it

    It only lists the dates,times and origin,destination only on your phone

    Pp is setup via kiosk @ terminals.
    mine come from different #'s and most of the time they are just the p/u location(not address) and p/u times, same for delivery. Then ya go back to yer truck to accept/decline load.
    Just the next load info is all you get..

    Although I have gotten some pp texts to my phone that just say I have a pp waiting at my truck, please go to your truck to accept.

    I have seen that new one also, you have a pplan waiting at your truck. Let them send that one when I am on home time and I am due out Monday and they send it Sunday evening. They will be waiting a long time before I get to the truck and accept.

    lol, I see. Of course with me I don't think about things like that because my truck is always a 10' walk from my front door. It's out of habit. My bad.

    The last thing that I want to see when I am on home time, the truck.

    Called my (a) DM and he got it set up for me.
    Just got my first pplan.
    Lists pickup city and time and destination city and time.
    Would be nice if it included miles and wether d/h - live.

    Can't believe I waited so long to do this!
    (No text plan... $.20 a message but so worth it)
    No more baby-sitting the truck!
    Or going out to the truck every 30 min while on home time.

    If YOU don't have this.... get it ;-)
