    At one point I unplugged my phone charger as it had a little light in it. That seemed to fix it from draining as quickly but still draining. You might be right and there is something else sipping power.

    I’ll take a look but it could be something in the wiring if the car itself leaking power so I wouldn’t find that.

    Why I thought I’d just disconnect the batteries…

    Ya, I think I’ll do that for sure.
    Easier than using the truck.

    I would personally just disconnect it. Takes literally 30 seconds to do so. Battery can't drain if nothing's connected to it

    One tid bit from the meeting on Friday is that we are overbooked on freight through the end of the month, they say if it remains this way into mid January the will look at that as trend and not an anomaly.

    Ya, probably do that too. See what size wrench is needed and buy one to keep in the car.

    As a reply to the above question or statement about the camera on the ISAAC system, yes, there does seem to be a camera on the device but, until told otherwise, in my truck, it will fall under the current company policy regarding Driver Facing Cameras. And I don’t think the comiany intends to use them either… at this time of course… lol

    I was on the beta testing drivers crew for these units. I was actually running on the Samsara option. They first moved the samsara driver over to the Isaac system once the decision was made.

    Both have their Pros and Cons but I think between the now three options, geotrack, samsara, and Isaac… I think ISAAC is the better option. Much more “fully baked” program in general when compared to the other two options. It seems very solid… of course we will have growing pains as we fully implement the new system into our bigger tech environment and get used to the new system… but, while I have a few reservations about it, it is the best that we have tested to date.

    We will all have our opinions about it for sure but remember… NO OPTION will be perfect for all Drivers and the other departments that have/need information flowing back and forth.

    I think there are many more benefits with this system and they are continuing to tweak how things flow now that they know for sure what we need going forward after the decision.
