    Anyone else seen this? If I don't send a message through a custom field macro to a certain department when I get a green light at a DOT scale I get blasted with messages and calls.. If I don't do it when I use a Cat scale I get a talk with safety..

    I hear from my DM via phone every couple of weeks. I get load assignments and fuel solutions via QC and the occasional fleet message. That’s it. I’d loose my mind having to deal with the office everyday.

    The whole point of Prepass is to save time by not pulling into every open weigh station. Now they want you to waste that saved time by stopping to send a message?. Someone at your company isn't thinking properly.

    Never heard of such a process. Sucks to be you working wherever you’re working.

    I m interested in what company this is so I can avoid them. The next thing you know you ll have to send a message through ELD when you scale in and out at a shipper

    Sorry you work for such a crappy company. I suggest you get a job at a company that isn't up your backside.

    PS This has nothing to do with ELD's. It's the tracking device in your truck do it....

    That bypass should have been recorded by your ELD. Showing it legal.

    Does your company want you to send them a message when you go to the bathroom too?
     
    Lepton1, Bean Jr. and PoleCrusher Thank this.
