Using ELD to report green light at DOT scale and results of Cat scale?

I never.

That's frivolous and piles of unnecessary make work BS accounting to your elders in the company office.

They don't get a #### thing. We got a green light? Great. Used a cat scale properly? Excellent. Not a word to anyone.

Micromanagement is all the rage in that stupid company filling the qualcomm with all those nicky picky stress inducing time wasting messages.

A long time ago I ran for a outfit that did that. The telephone version before there was a internet. I started logging on duty when returning calls. Added up to several hours daily. They eventually asked me WTF is this on duty ####? I told them leave me alone on the stupid make work phones until I get to the customer and am empty.

Blessed silence. I moved onto another outfit right quick.

 

I’m with you on this one. Stupid SOB’s want that type of control, it will be on line 4 every time.

I get paid for all line 4 That BS would stop real quick.

 

He's not talking preps. He's talking about going over the scales. If he had prepass they know the weight.

 

They want you to pull over and send a macro every time you get the green at a scale, not the Prepass, correct? Or do you type this on the QC as your going down the road?

 

If some trucking companies paid drivers the money they are paying these safety managers to micro manage their under paid drivers, the industry would be a much better place. Pre-pass companies send a report of green and red light activity, and there is no reason to ask drivers to send a macro.

 

If it's Prepass, it's a seperate unit, so a Peoplenet won't know anything about it. If it's the Drivewyze app on the PN, then it will.

as far as DOT scales, my company doesn't ask us to note it or log it unless we're pulled in and inspected. But when we use CAT scales, they ask us to go on line 4 since you get a receipt, and we charge it to our fuel card thru the CAT app, so it's a time stamped transaction. It only adds a minute or two to my day on the rare occasion I actually scale a load, so I don't argue about it.

 

I don't/won't work for an outfit with electronic babysitters(QC,Peoplewhatever etc etc.....)

 

My advice to OP: keep your promise to Andy.

 

That was great.
