Ok. Time to vent. I have no problem with this new system. It all works so smoothly. IF THESE OTHER #### DRIVERS WILL DO THEIR E AND L CALLS RIGHT!! It's not rocket science!! I have yet to have a single L or E call go thru in the past couple of days. I get the stupid invalid trailer location error. I call in and get the same explanation every time. The other driver didn't do their L call or E call correctly. So the trailer never showed up at the location in the computer. Uh. Ok? How is that my problem?! And the best part is then they want the #### last 6 of the vin and the plate number. I DONT CARE!! It shouldn't be so hard to hook to a #### trailer!! I really could care less what your computer says. I'm not here to play with the computer. As long as the trailer is actually hooked to me physically. The rest is not my issue. I'm going to do my loads either way. But for now. I shall follow their dumb ### instructions and give them the vin and plate. Pretty soon I'm going to lose my #### patience. When you're local and deal with multiple trailers. I don't have time to be vin and plate hunting. Damnt drivers. LEARN TO DO MACROS!! Or swift. TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO DO MACROS!! MAKES ME WANT TO SCREAM!!
vent over.

Allow me to add to your vent while we are at it.
This is is why Centrals macros were so much better. Intuitive. Most macros REQUIRED the trip#, truck# and trailer#. Would not allow you to send the macro without the required info to keep their computers up to date. Swift allows you to do it wrong without any way to know its wrong, then to send it wrong, resulting in an error message coming back at ya. Try to resend with better info and then it says that the load has already been ** called. Now you don't know if it updated or not. Stupid system!! I just tell the qcomm to **** itself and get rolling. I know where I am, where I'm going and when I need to be there. If there dumbs system can't keep up, that's their problem. When it stops accepting anything, then send lengthy message with load numbers, trailer numbers and locations with each. Then go to bed and let them figure it out and update everything. If they want to keep your truck rolling, it will get done. If not, then you know exactly where you stand with your dm.
are you listening Swift? You threw out a system better than your own just cuz it wasn't yours or doesn't work quite right with your other retarded computer systems. Dumb #####*s snot nosed kids who think they are smarter than any dumb'ol truck drivers.

I asked a Swift driver about the idle , and he told me 15 degrees or lower you can idle. Beyond that you're not to idle. I don't know how accurate it is, that might be a question for the Central Triage thread. -

3 issues cause trailer screw up. Previous user/load wasn't properly e-called. Trailer is off the grid and not communicating. The systems location for the trailer doesn't match with where you are.
I suspect the trailer issues are a combination of everyone catching onto the macros and the trailers haven't been fully integrated into the system.
Once the macro errors, the only thing to do is have a DM fix it. Try to get it fixed on the first macro that errors, otherwise it just cascades on down. -
