    Well I feel ridiculous for asking this on a forum, but I’ve can’t figure this #### out. How do you pull up your manifest of the freight/pro numbers that need to be loaded in your truck on the scan gun? I’ll log in with my employee number, ignore linking to a forklift then push ‘1’ to say “accept load”, or whatever it is it says. It always brings up the wrong bay.

    The guys I trained with only showed me twice, and they just whipped through it really quick. The terminal manager or dispatchers or docks managers have no idea how to do it. When I need to do this is in the afternoons when I’m reloading and there aren’t any dock workers there and the other drivers I’ve asked don’t know how.

    Actually, it goes, "Mista Dobalina, Mista Bob Dobalina." Always nice when someone knows the reference!

    Glad you worked it out. I was gonna say they must not have assigned you a "work load" for you to "accept." What was the solution, free scan mode? You've got me curious.

    Welcome once again. Is everything going well?

    Wasn’t sure if it was a Monkees or Del reference, but the Monkees were kind of lame so I went with the latter.

    I was pushing the wrong button on the gun, lol. The outbound manager finally got tired of me trying to figure it out and had one of the other B drivers show me. I usually don’t run into them too often. Fortunately one was there this morning.

    If you’re trying to figure out what goes on a specific trailer to be loaded. It option 3 at the main screen for frt location I think it says. Then scan the door. That’ll show you what’s already on there. Then hit F6 to see the manifest and what order it should be loaded.

    Same thing if you’re jumping in a breaker and aren’t assigned the task. Just hit option 3 then scan the door. From there just scan the pro that you unload or you can search for it on the Gun. f10 to scroll down and f8 to scroll back up. Also you can hit f5 and it’ll change what it shows. Pro, consignee, shipper. Etc. for breakers and outbound trailers you don’t need the f6 key. That’s only for city trailers.

    Glad to help if you have any more questions. There’s a lot of tricks to it.

    Thanks dude. Fortunately I don’t have to deal with breaking trailers. I’m a B driver and use them from time to time when I come back to reload for a second run.
