    Did you roll any at all during the time you were off duty? If so, it will record all of that slow rolling as driving once you get up to speed. Qualcomm actually did that stupid crap the last time a big update was done. Now you really have to be careful. I did a d/h at Target DC in Port Wentworth the other day and was there for 32 minutes. But, since I was driving around the lot, once I got back on the road, it took my 30 minute break away. I had intended on hitting the drive line manually, and had a blonde moment and forgot. Ended up working out okay though since I stopped for a shower later. But when time is tight, it's a real pain.

    I don't think the cap covers the front camera... But I do like the business card and tape idea.

    Ehhhh. Not the greatest analogy there.

    Bank owns the lien - you own house.

    Company owns the truck.

    All good bro. Just elaborating that, I've seen the "personal privacy debate" rage on a few threads. Bottom line is always going to be the same.

    Company truck, company driver - end of story...

    No I'm pretty careful about that. And if I'm parking for the day and it looks like I have to roll around to find a spot, I go inactive first and don't log back in until I'm parked or ready to run after the 10.

    But this truck has its share of issues and electrical is on the list. Dunno, may be related. If I EVER get back to the shop maybe we'll see ... lol

    Anyway, 30 is up. Time to run. Enjoy the day everyone. :)
     
    RebelChick Thanks this.

    Made it to West Memphis early this morning. After a minor repair on my truck, we are rolling. My trainee is driving us to OKC, then I'll take over. So far so good.

    Ya, some of the older ones are a pita. My first QC in 1313 had a bad section in the lower right corner which is of course needed to do many commands.

    And occasionally, some times three times s day, the touch screen would not work and the only fix was to stop the truck, turn it off, and actually turn off the batteries ... Had to reboot the whole dang truck to reset the touch screen in the QC... LOL
