    Before anyone gets any ideas. Mercer will terminate a contract instantly for reporting empty before you actually are. Sorry but no load is worth it to me to lie about being empty.

    Oh and yes Sapp in Omaha does for sure. I don't think they all do.

    Reporting empty before you are can be done easily. I mean unless catastrophe strikes no one would know. That said, the benefit of this after you know how it works here is zero in my opinion.

    What are you guys running for trailer tires? I've got just over 200k miles on these and they are starting to get pretty thin so time to start thinking about replacing them.

    Is it 2? I thought it was 3, 2 for the truck and 1 for the trailer.

    Spoke with recruiting about the Omnitracs QC, you have to pay for the install (around 200 bucks) and then it's a 30 dollar a month charge for the services.

    JJ Keller device is free.

    Some of the team drivers that specialize in high security military loads need it. Since it pings where the truck is at all times.

    That's a different Qualcomm, you can get the mcp50. Which is just a logbook. Installs just like the killer to the port not hardwired like the other qualcomms

    As someone said after ya been here a bit that will be of little consequence. And its easily verified who reported what unload time, and my dashcam is on. All the time. Honestly several have tried that and suffered the consequences. They think they are the only one there. But don't see the other guy around the corner. The fact is, if you don't have a pre-plan, you are operating behind the 8 ball to begin with.
