USX drivers...how's your day??

I don't know. I guess I'm flying low for a while.

 

We have similar issues with onguard and bridges. We write it up every time the truck goes into the shop. Also, put it on the post trip. Not sure if anyone sees the post trips or not. We have also been slow. Only 4000 as a team.

 

My first truck did the same thing. Gps was about a half a mile behind me. Very frustrating, especially when you're new. But, knock on wood, this truck is good. I also use google maps to check shopper & receiver addresses, directions, etc. it helps paint a picture of the area in my head.

 

On the Driver Tech lag issues. It sounds like it needs a software update. Call the main number and ask for driver tech support. They are awesome.

 

Are you saying your DT does not lag behind about a half mile? It's done that in all three trucks I've had, even after updates.

BTW, am I the only one who doesn't stare at a GPS while trying to find a place? If I could turn off the nav part of the DT I would.

 

Here I sit in MT Vernon, IL because I can't deliver this thing until 0800. I already have a PP for 1400 out of MT Vernon tomorrow. I was hoping to drop this and relax a little, but no-go. Now I'll have to take a 10 hr before delivering the next one and it's only 440 miles away in Canton, MS. Looks like they are puddle jumping me home but that's ok because I don't have specific plans. It drives my wife crazy because she is even more organized than me...LOL.

Got some good news today. My first trainee passed with flying colors. I guess I did something right. They put him in a little Pete for now. They claim they have no team trucks.

 

Our DT used to lag a lot but since the big update about six months ago we have zero lag, I keep in the "Where am I" setting when I am almost to delivery. That allows me to see the roads around me so I know if I turn down a street whether I can get back out. When running I have it set to next stop as it gives a very accurate ETA.

 

Good luck

 

I hope they don't have any team trucks when I upgrade lol

 

We are taking a two week home time so we got unseated from our truck. We will need one when we return, so leave at least one behind.
