    I can tell you that our system crashed this morning sometime in the wee hours. Want to know how I know? I started getting all kinds of text messages from FourKites - AT 4 AM ON MY DAY OFF -which woke me out of a dead sleep. Something that, for me, is hard to come by. Called and raised some cain (because this forum won’t let you use curse words) with dispatch. And when I finally was able to get comfortable again and was just about to get back into that nice sleep, guess what? YEP. ANOTHER ROUND OF THEM. Now I’m really pissed because I am officially awake - ON A DAY WHEN I DID NOT HAVE TO GET UP EARLY.
    That is all.

    I hate that FourKites stuff and am particularly vexed that there doesn't seem to be a way to opt-out of them permanently.

    I learned back long ago,when it's sleep time phone goe's on vibrate.

    Back when Cole was still on night's,I had a load that I had to recover from another driver going to Canon in Chesapeake,apparently it was going to shut the whole plant down if I didn't get it there ontime:rolleyes:,he call's me 2 hour's before break's up to see if i'm awake.

    Unfortunately, I can’t do that. If something happens with my mother, i need to be reachable. Even though do not disturb lets certain people call, the monitoring company calls from different numbers each time.

    What phone do you have? I think on iOS if the same number calls a second time within five minutes it bypasses the dnd...

    But... that wouldn’t help if they use a different number each time... lol

    Someone should inform that monitoring company that using the same number to contact there clients might be a rather important detail... even if just having them in Contacts as the Monitoring Company... lol
