    Does anybody have any inside info about when the scanners are going to get rolled out? The demo video was posted in February but nobody seems to know anything new about it.

    I suspect they're waiting to work the bugs out of Google Navigation and deploy them both at once, or maybe vice versa.

    Umm, I've been Transflo scanning from my truck for over a year now. No, not some smart phone picture garbage, actual scanning right here in the truck. I set everything in the scanner, hit the F1 key on my laptop and a minute later I get a confirmation of the paperwork being sent along with an e-mail with the number.

    I assume the lack of in-cab scanning is limited by your company not Transflo.

    You would assume correctly.

    Now why would Roehl "PAY" to have scanners in the truck when they can continue to have you search for a transflo location. I mean making sure you get paid isn't their top priority. Hell, the longer it takes you to send it in the longer it takes for them to pay you. Win, Win for Roehl!

    That honestly doesn't make sense, they are going to pay you anyway, whether it takes another week or 2 doesn't change anything. They have to have the money in the payroll account. Only thing that would change would be if you never turned in Bol and trip tick.

    Untill you send it in they can't invoice/get paid so that really makes no sense.

    There are Loves, pilots and Flying Js all over the place. Only time Ive had a hard time finding a Transflo Kiosk was in SW Texas, but Fly J just opened a store in Fort Stockton :)

    Yeah, but OP is from Boston area nothing up there except about an hour from him on I-84. So on a home trip he would have to fax.

    Transflos are easy to find. The hard part is remembering you need to scan when you are there.
