The USCS in Minooka uses that Vector system... unfortunately I didn't realize it until I had already used my phone and the QR code to check in(which takes you to a website since I don't have a Vector app on my personal equipment), drop, hook and check out. The tablet didn't automatically detect my location. After I got in and dropped, I realized that it hadn't showed my arrival at consignee, so when I did it manually, it pulled up the Vector app and wanted me to enter the same info as I did on my phone. And, since I didn't use the tablet, I got no signed b/l, so the guard had to stamp it received.

Also, my Drivewyze decided to shut itself off again. It was working yesterday, didn't work today. But, the scales on I-80 W coming out of the Chicagoland area were closed, so no harm, no foul-just annoying.

It seems since that peoplenet update the whole tablet has gone screwy

I stopped at the Pine Cone Travel Plaza in Johnson Creek. I pick up my next load in the northern Chicagoland suburbs and the few places to park between Milwaukee and the stateline are not worth stopping at

unless that's changed in the past 2-3 years

I am missing pulling a spread axle open deck trailer a little more after today.

This is what my load weighs where I normally set my tandems

This is at 41'

This is at the IL bridge limit (45' 6" to the center of the rear axle)

The kwikstars/trips are always decent, if they actually have parking. The petro in Racine is ok. Was through there a few weeks ago, wasnt p2p yet.

Just a tad

Already got my next load. Live load tomorrow at 10:30 at a different Murfreesboro customer. Live unloading in Carthage, MO Monday at noon. That will put me in the 29k's for the quarter with a week to go.
