Couple random questions

As far as I can tell on the post trip you have to submit, its only to satisfy DOT, you have to also send one in under messaging for SEM to do anything about it.
Try putting the nozzle in to your tank with the handle parallel instead of perpindicular

 

that's one thing that I would like to see changed. When you PU a trailer and have it assigned , they send the equipment status message and last dvir. It would be nice to have it list WHAT the pending defects are, even if the last driver hit the no defects. perhaps a driver further back did the right thing on their dvir.

 

And maybe this is a dumb question, but I am not a Schneider driver yet, but do the different tractor colors mean anything? I have seen black, white, silver and of coarse the orange pumpkin

 

black is designated regional, white is dedicated, /silvergrey/champagne color is otr as is orange.

 

They should all be orange in this drivers opinion. The only different colored trucks should be for the million milers, and they should get another truck, like a Coronado or something.

 

Never seen a black one, like bet its hot in summer though, notice how im just being nice now huh? I got in trouble for whineing lol Im still here though, but question in west with the newbies the heat is gunna be dangerous tomorrw like over 100, what is the best way to keep cool when you can't idle? and air in the older stuff doesn't work much?

 

I had the fuel nozzle fall out of the tank and spray fuel all over my steps with my cascadia when i was with sni

 

For the Hyundai trailers look at page 136 in the permit book - it lists the hole settings for pre 2011 wabashs, post 2011 wahbash, and Hyundai.

The DVIR in Workflow only goes to Regulatory - not SEM. In theory if you send in a Mac 10, 11, or 12 its supposed to be entered into the M5 (maintence) computer program. What a wonderfully designed system, nothing makes me happier than filling out the same form twice. The reality is that if you only send in the Macro your kids will be debating which nursing home to put you in before SEM sends someone to fix it. In my experience if I want something from SEM I have to call it in.

The Green Bay Division got 40 KW T680s starting about 2 months ago. It appears a different division got some white KW T700s. It's something we're trying out and the rumor is GB just ordered 30 more T680s. If the fuel economy is what KW is promising (8-9 mpg fully loaded) SNI is probably going to be moving to KW in a big way. From what I hear they're only costing SNI $5-6,000 more than the Casscasdias. If that and the fuel savings are accurate we'll make up the difference in cost in under a year. Plus I hear that the ride is so smooth you could bake a souffle while going down Mt. Eagle (if you had an inverter).
