    I'm unable to to be auto dispatched when I accept a load assigment. The system wants me to enter my hours from the previous seven days. How is this done? I don't see a macro for this.

    With Swift it is the Mac 10 - Driver Status.

    It lets you input up to 3 days, so for 7 days you would need to do it 3 times.

    What hours are you suppose to input? Driving hours? Or all hours worked?

    On-Duty hours - to the closest 15 minutes.
    That means driving hours plus on-duty-non-driving.

    It's simple.
    It's all on-duty time as logged by the QCom, rounded to the nearest 15 minute increment.
    So if you go to the '8 Days' tab and you see that yesterday you had 8 hours and 40 minutes of 'on-duty' time, you would report it as 08:45.
    If you had 8 hours and 36 minutes of 'on-duty' time, you would send in 08:30.

    It is the total on-duty time, rounded to the nearest 15 minute increment.

    be careful with that statement.

    Our company was set to 5 minute intervals not 15. So in your example, he'd log it to 8:35.

    The new program they are implementing is denying auto dispatch if the driver has not Approved their logs by midnight the previous day.

    Have you been approving your logs regularly?

    Have you been sending in your Macro 10 daily?

    Sometimes if you send a Macro 30 before Macro 10, it will ask you for the previous 4 days worth of hours.

    Personally I don't know why we have to send in the hours at all-- we are Elogs, the system should 'know'.

    You have to approve your logs now before dispatch? Hmm... I guess now is a good time to start approving every night rather that when my 70 is low ;)
