    No, I've been sending it through with my Verizon tablet. Everything looks crisp and perfect as could be on my end. So what would me downloading a second app do when it looks as good as it can be on my screen? I'm not going to download a second app and sit there any try and do imaging stuff. For me I will just send the paperwork in through the truck stop. It was just nice to send my paperwork in immediately after I emptied out and be paid generally before I even got to my next load. Became pretty spoiled with that lol.

    I dont believe anyone running 70 and up is getting 9mpg unless theyre empty. I have a 16 cascadia with all the skirts and a detroit automatic. I have to try really hard to get 8 when loaded which means staying under 65 and letting it creep up hills. I can get 7.5 normally running loaded and up to 70mph. Unless its slow and light its about .2mpg better than last truck i drove with a cummins and stick.

    I've only used it once but I just took a pic with my phone just like on the app. Evidently it worked cause I got paid. I did call truck pay though cause it took longer than normal so I wanted to make sure they got it.

    There is look up 9+ mpg group on Facebook. There is a 17 freightliner pulling a van. This truck has under went a lot of work and trailer too. At 75 he was barely hitting 9 lol

    This is one of them now they are running a highly modified truck. But it's a start. There couple more doing it with mack and Volvo.

    Oh, you saw it on Facebook it must be true. Lol. Just kidding. I still find it hard to believe they are getting it consistently. But even if they are that's a lot of money on mods to get it. I would think it would take awhile to make it pay for itself. But there's nothing stopping you from trying. I'll watch and learn...

    Im with you. Maybe these guys can get that mileage but id like to see the total costs including down time for mods and what their projected roi will be.

    Lol it's real numbers tracked with a website. I think I could easily pick up 1 mpg by adding 2 lift axles.

    Yep , or at least beta tested by someone who has a clue. They could beta test til the end of time if the testers dont know what is going on.

    One of the guys who shouted the loudest about not knowing how to work the new load board was one of the beta testers, go figure
