An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

I’m jealous of you @supersnackbar i drive a little over 9 miles one way to the truck, doesn’t seem like much, but in todays Ocala traffic, it’s a bit of nightmare. Sometimes I’m in every night, sometimes I’m gone all week, one thing that remains though, the drive to and from sucks.

 

Honest question from someone who doesn't use elogs: Do you have to log on to On Duty to approve your logs?

 

I just use my phone too. Nearly all my issues went away after stop using the tablet in the truck.
A few times it’s messed up the location, that’s always been fixed by restarting the app. it also has issues crossing the border twice in a day while simultaneously trying to log a split sleeper birth. Sometimes I can do that, occasionally I have to go into “violation” because it’s confused. That’s fine, I know the HOS.


I guess after 13 days at home I actually have to do something if I want a pay check. I’m deadheading over 800 miles from my house to Mississippi to repower an oversize trailer going to Texas. Another guys truck broke down and had to be towed to the dealer.

 

Almost all of this electronic nonsense goes right over the top of my head, but as far as parking the truck was concerned, it was always at the company's base exactly 3 kms (a couple of miles?) from my house though very occasionally the tractor unit alone was parked just down the hill for some special reason. When I came to live here to live 24 years ago I applied to 13 companies in the region for a job. Some of them were over 50 kms away. I got lucky.

 

Man samsara is consistently ####. They added the “inbox” screen back, hopefully it goes away. All of these messages were while I was in the sleeper, hours after I parked. This looks like an every night thing.

 

I’ve been getting Samsara updates every other day lately. Not sure why.
