So on my current load the delivery time was set to 1100 on 02/04 with the 'next load assignment', but the actual load assignment has a delivery window of 02/04 1100 to 02/05 1100.

What do you think will happen if I deliver at 1200 on the 4th?

 

Good info Mystic!
Another thing about intermodal loads - remember to do a macro 49 when ya deliver to a railyard, as that is supposed to complete the tcall in the system.

 

The original window is still available in this situation. When you do you Macro 2 (Loaded Call) set your ETA to when you plan on being there and you should be fine as long as it is within the original window.

The new system tightens up all loads according to how it reads your HOS after you except a load. What I found out is the big flaw is it doesn't know your 14 hour clock. The system is trying to utilize drivers and equipment as much as possible.

 

Well, I made sure I got here at 1100.
Good thing, too, because the appt was for 1100 today.
I think the 'window' was a typo.
Seemed strange to me that a JIT load would have a delivery window from 1100 to the next day at 1100.

 

I can't believe they are still having problems with this. Well, actually, I can believe it. I sure don't regret my decision to leave, even given how it all turned out. For all I joke about Celadon being Swift all over again, it's not true. Celadon is more like Swift was a few years ago, before micromanagement became the norm.

 

Also still wondering. Got a pplan, p/u 2/3 - 2/5, b4 0600 on the 5th. Get the ld assignement, and show pu 2/3 - 2/9, anytime during the day or evening. Del on pplan was 2/9 at 1030. Load assignment, del 2/9 at 10:30 to 2/12 at 2300.

 

So, the system is nagging me about fuel routes again....

 

This last load that I delivered, I was sent the fuel route 3 times, the same route. was sent one one load, I was going north on I-75 to Toledo, they wanted me to instead to go up I-71 to the terminal, and then from there, up to 33 and back over to I-75.

What I do not understand, and this is for the company drivers, what happens when they are sent to a Pilot, and they are given the T/S #, and there are two pilots in that same town, examply, Perrysburg, OH. Pull into the 1st one right there, and find out, oops, wrong one, then start their e-log again to drive up the road to the other one. I am waiting for the route that they are going to send me going from WI to Mira Loma, especially since I am heading south to Wichita Falls before start to head west. Definately not taking the direct route on this one, not with the weather in NE and CO right now.

Or you. Could ask someone that works there what their store number is... Did that three weeks ago...

 

The full size truck stop directories list the truck stop number, address, and phone number. That bugger was a lifesaver for me when I was taking freight into Canada on a regular basis. I have also used google maps in my smartphone, and zoomed into truck stop locations. I can then click on the truck stop, and pull up their website. Using those two tools, I never pulled into the wrong truck stop!
