    Uh oh, we must be going to different places, I don't remember there being any gate. Are you delivering on Progress Way?

    Good morning everyone. I just discovered something about the Qualcomm units, thought I'd pass it on. If you are having issues with the touch screen not responding very well, or reacting slowly, or not responding at all (like mine has been doing) I just found something. Apparently the setting for touch sensitivity gets reset every single time there is an update. So you have to manually change it. From the home screen, hit the right arrow on the screen next to the menu. That will show you a different menu. Click on settings, then displays. At the bottom right, click the calibrate button. It will run through a quick cycle during which you have to touch and hold in specific areas on the screen. And then, VOILA! My screen is finally not pissing me off. Wish I had figured this out a while ago. Hopefully this will help someone else :)

    Yes, it's Progress Way. For some reason I was remembering a gate. Must be a different place I was thinking of. But, doesn't matter anyway. Not leaving here til the sun comes up. Fog has rolled in, and it's oh-my-god thick. I can barely see across the parking lot.

    Don't care to drive in fog if I can help it. Especially that thick ####. No problems with their trucks at opening, a couple employees start real early with loading or something and are moving trucks out of what would be considered by us to be in the way for setting up. Personally, I've had way more issues later on with morons that pull into the lot and park 2 wide directly across from the docks making it a pain in the ###.

    So, I just got to my final and got docked. Another driver from another company pulls in and goes to check in. His wife/girlfriend/whatever gets out of the truck with a dog, and proceeds to let the dog go to the bathroom on the customer's lawn. Cuz, you know, that's classy. Crimany.

    Technically it can't be considered classy until she joins the dog and they both do their business on the lawn. :rolleyes:
