    Who else is having trouble with the QC today? Navigo is toast for me. Wont even let me log in so therefore I had to go old school on the load today and write down the directions...yeah, WRITE THEM DOWN! Who told Schneider it was 1976 again?

    Thing is, my directions wanted me to get from Huntsville to Charlotte via state routes and US highways. Wasn't about to write all of that down and try to read it and drive. Took 65 down to Birmingham and hopped on 20. Going to hit 85 in my hometown tomorrow morning and take this load on in and drop it.

    Even though I know where Im going, its still nice to have this navigo in case I fall asleep and miss a turn. CMON QUALCOM...FIX IT! :biggrin_25510::biggrin_25523:

    Mine hasn't worked most of the afternoon. Parked now in TN and it still isn't working, so you're not alone.

    When hubby came into the NLR terminal this afternoon, he mentioned to me that he did not know what the flashing antenna looking icon meant. I told him that I thought it had something to do with the fact that the antenna looking icon on the screen had a red X on it. So, we went into the visitor center where hubby's ex-trainer was working and we were told the Qualcom had been down for all of Maverick Transportation for quite a while.

    Not too long ago , I got a msg recvd from Tom the Safety GUY!!!! Apparently hard braking and instablity is on an upswing. That alot of it is coming from Obetz guys!! Ummmm, too inexperienced just yet to know what will pull around a curve or corner at faster than posted.

    Need to talk to the shop guys. Brakes seem a little grabby on the drivers side of the tractor. Not really an overt pull to that side but something doesnt seem/feel right. In the meantime, good following distance and sit awareness is doing wonders!!!!!!

    I guess it was more than company wide for you guys at Schneider

    I work for Prime and my QC wasnt working all afternoon too. Called my dispatcher and he said it company wide having the same problems.

    Wonder if the recent solar storm caused any problems with the sattelites.

    We got a message on QC today (Conway Truckload) stating it would be down for about 3 hours beginning at 1715cst. Funny thing is I got that message at about 1915.
