    You can still beat it by turning the truck off periodically.
    I should have been doing that as I was dropping the load, and again when I got out to check the 'mt' trailers.
    It slipped my mind and I got nicked.

    Yes you made me remember the policy, your supposed to call for a police escort to the nearest safe haven, some stuff like that.

    Well I am stuck it seems in Troutdale, OR, I guess there's no freight in this area, bummer.

    I actually picked up in Kingman once, but that was some time ago, years. Maybe they might DH you to Las Vegas, or if you really get bored, you might take a ride up there yourself, just to have some fun.

    Yes, I delivered in Portland, and considered going to Jubitz, just to see it, but decided on the TA in Troutdale instead, Grey, overcast, a little cold, just peachy!

    I wish.
    I'm a company driver. I can't just head out to some place fun.

    I can't afford Vegas right now anyway. My next check is only 20 bucks.
    Missing BOL, which I had scanned at a terminal. But it threw me off accelerated pay.

    It seems the only times BOL's go missing after I have scanned them is when I scan at a terminal.

    That really sucks, your ck sounds like mine is gonna be, a hundred this ck, but starting new pay period with 2000 mi trip,

    Actually Wiskey Petes is where I have had the best luck, I hit there a few yrs ago for $9000 on a slot machine, it was awesome.

    I almost never scan at Terms, its lucky just to find one that is working right. I tried the In Gauge scanning feature, I couldn't get it to work right either. So its always at a trk stop, where I scan my bills.

    Yes there are about 50 local broadcast channels here, but all crap and garbage, like This TV, or My TV or pbs or religious or some networks. I am looking forward to getting from my nx ck that Winegard Satellite thingy, it might make sitting just a little bit nicer and more fun to have some decent choices to watch.

    Its only 107 miles to Las Vegas from Kingman, did you try calling ECT and asking them if they have anything dropped in the Vegas or Henderson yrd you might be able to get?

    Yep ... the only two times I've had a missing BOL was on scans at the terminal. And to add misery there is no tracking on terminal scans.

    At Transflo you can track the scan number on line. I do all my scan at a Transflo terminal only now.

    One would think that a company as large as Swift might manage to install reliable scanners and software.

    But no, second rate all the way.
    From the hardware to the programmers - second rate all the way.
     
    Kindle Thanks this.
