I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

We will probably pass each other at some point. I leave NC on Tuesday for DFW

 

Uuuuummmmm .............. oh never mind ...........

 

Regular NOAA sight looks good Sunday. Monday early morning may have some snow on the top.

 

there's some pretty good stuff on there. I could show you but.......then the wife would kill you hehehe.....or me more likely.....or both of us lol

I miss a lot more stuff than I get and never have been good taking pics.....I have this bad habit of making sure the truck gets driven safely before I get the pic. one of these days I'm gonna figure out how to get stuff off the dashcam onto the computer. I've missed some really good and stupid stuff with that one as well. I'm really not good with computers it takes me awhile to figure out how to do that stuff.

 

got 2 letters I've been looking for this week.

first was from safety determining my swift incident as non-preventable. I knew it was n/p. all the witnesses knew it was n/p. you never really breathe that sigh of relief though until you get the official determination from the ones who make it.

the other was for the driver rewards. they're turning my truck up today. slow as these folks are to do anything the data cutoff was in june and it only took them 4 months to compile and distribute the performance goals lol so they still have me listed as having to meet the goals for the Volvo.

to keep the truck turned up we have to stay under 8% long idle time ( any idle more than 5 minutes) easy. I'm around 4%

no more than 1% over rpm. anything over 1500. easy

fuel mileage has to be 7.7 avg or better. that's going to be the tough one. in the Volvo I was right at that. the KW that goal will be a little higher I'm going to have to call and find out the goal for that truck but it's going to be 8 or better. with the heavy backhauls we do on truckload that makes that number really borderline to reach. it's very apparent that program will benefit the LTL guys a lot more than us since they never carry anything over 20-25k with most loads 10k or less. with the heavy backhauls I've had lately mine is down around 8.1 right now.

if we blow any parameter the computer will turn the truck back down to 65 until we do 250 miles at or better than goal then it turns it back up.

 

your going to get that run up 81 sooner or later

 

your gonna shower with PackRat at the J
I thought he was a Love's "guy"

 

El Paso to Swedesboro should find him on 81.
