    My SPD Volvo used to do that from time to time. It occasionally got another one that had something to do with an engine synchronization fault. Both would always disappear after a few minutes or a few restarts. I never had it stick around long enough to figure out what was causing it. And like a lot of intermittent issues, it never did it when I was near the company shop to have them check it out. As long as your elog is keeping track of your driving, I would say, that a DOT cop won't have a problem with it if you get inspected. If it's still there when your people come back in, I would definitely report it. Our gateway was in behind where they had the tablet mounted, so you had to disassemble part of the dash to check to see if it had all its LED lights lit up(or off). I never had the desire to tear it apart to look to see they were all on (or off) like they're supposed to be.

    Yeah, I got sick of the changes and ridiculously low miles at SPD, then a driver got caught with major e-log violations that hurt their CSA score big time, so they took away everybody's PC, and that was the last straw. I've been back since early March, and pissed off most of the time because of their retarded trucks, but at least I was running hard up until Easter, then things slowed down, and then they put me on a different dispatcher's board and it is still lousy miles wise.

    That's exactly why I left them in '15, couldn't get more than 2100 miles a week to save my life.

    I’ve been back for over a year and I’m on pace to average around 130,000 miles a year here… Dynamic was falling apart and essentially I don’t believe they’re gonna be around much longer based on what I’ve seen
     
    Knucklehead, cdavis188, Bumper and 3 others Thank this.

    My pay at dynamic went from $1500 a week to $700 a week… The way they dispatch is if you get under 15 to 20 hours on your 70 to them you have no more hours and they forced you to take a reset so basically you have one run from the Midwest to the West Coast a week And vice versa back to the Midwest from the West Coast… Not to mention Jordan the owner son goes around falsely accusing people of crap and frankly now when I run onto the West Coast like I did a week and a half ago I saw one from Kansas City to the Pacific Northwest and back to Wisconsin only one dynamic truck the entire time out there and back
