    If you're going to go through the trouble of calling into safety to go over hazmat paperwork, you might as well actually check over the BOL while safety is asking you the standard questions -- especially on a relay!


    back on the board...

    Get to drop it here in West Memphis, already have a load heading back to Mt Vernon,TX but it's ok because as soon as we get there we can drop, and we're already at 1100 for the week and it's just Tuesday. Be safe

    Glad they let Yall drop it. Back roads all the way to Laredo is actually quite nice. Treated myself to a new bluetooth. The blue tiger elite. Letting it charge seems a lot nicer than Blue Parrot. Yet to use it yet though.

    Are you remembering to put the 0 in front of your employee id?

    Not that you're missing much. My last shred of hope for the program was destroyed when I went from 150/1900 to 650/1900 after taking 70,000+ lbs loads down Donner and up&down the grapevine. Progressive shifting & high rpm remained 98+ but top gear went from 100 to 68. Um wtf do they expect? stalling out in top gear and waiting for a tow? Smoking brakes?

    Idiots didnt bother to apply a 45mph filter to top gear points. Or they could have used gps location info to compare against other drivers on the same grades with similar weights (from data on loaded macro). And on top of it all, your scores lag your actual driving by 2-3days. As a training method, that is likely to be as successful as rubbing a dog's nose in #### a day after the fact. And they probably are spending hundreds of thousands on this BS when they could have got a better custom-made program with an e-lance account & a few thousand in ruppees.
