    Maybe just an "If This Then That" statement in the coding to ping off a txt msg to the phone associated with said truck.

    When they send a message to the Truck's QC, a simple, and one way only, txt msg is sent to our phone saying "You Have Mail"... {shrug}
     
    Redtwin, ChrisL and 5speed Thank this.

    Read something I thought I'd share with you guys. According to a report from freight haulers driver pay is now the single most expensive operating cost. You are now costing more than fuel! The companies reported their average cost is 1.57/ mile, including fuel, driver, maintenance, insurance, overhead and the truck itself.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Well just get rid of the driver and then report what's the most expensive cost... then see what the report says.

    8%? I don't see it. They also say Atlanta is the hotspot for driver jobs. Funny, as hardly anyone moves through there. Traffic being so bad.
