    I am curious about why our new tablets came with certain apps. The Love's app won't let me sign in because of a setting we can't change. The Transflo app, which will soon be useless when we go full time using the Samsara app for paperwork, but for now, it won't let me register because this tablet, which uses Verizon cell towers, doesn't have a phone number and it requires one to complete the registration. So basically half of it is a total waste.

    A little over 10 years ago SPD was a fleet of 30 trucks that never bought anything new running outlaw paper logs. We have came a long way. We are still trying to figure out this whole electronic technology things. Here’s what at least one of our setups looked like. IMG_6468.jpeg

    From what I heard we are by far the leader in all of Daseke for Samsara implementation. Eventually it might get worked out, as you said some of the things are going to go away. I’ll probably keep using the loves app on my phone, it just seems more convenient.
     
    Lonesome, dwells40 and Oxbow Thank this.

    So we're the test dummies working out the bugs on this stuff.

    And my old trip number keeps reappearing. I deleted the old one when I was dispatched on this load, every one of my daily logs since I have had to delete the old trip number again.

    I like to think of it as “spearheading the implementation”. Haha.

    I picture it more like the division of the military that tests experimental parachutes

    Speaking of the old ways here, I spoke to the tarp guy when I was in Arlington last week, he heard they are thinking about going back to assigning a set of tarps to drivers again to get control of all the torn up tarps.

    Makes sense. That way they can start charging the clowns who are tearing them up and trying to leave them for others while picking up new tarps
