CRETE - A Year in Review

Question for sb...how long does it usually take to hear something back after sending scanned paperwork? I sent it yesterday afternoon.

 

You can find them at any of the terminals in the office...when they're open.

 

I usually got an e-mail response by the next day saying that it had arrived, but acceptance depended on how clear it came out once they process it so the billing software on main frame could handle it. That is where my problem always cropped up. My Thunderbolt would snap a picture so clear you could see a finger print clearly enough to id someone...but once it went thru the conversion for the main frame...it was all blacked out. Since it's Friday, if you haven't gotten an e-mail about it you may want to call your terminal and see if they can see if it's there before it's too late for this weeks miles.

 

It was always free to the drivers (kinda). The company reimbursed up to $5 for the purchase of the pro version.

And if Lincoln is hiring someone to make their own app...God help us. They still haven't gotten the q'comm canned messages so all of them work right...if they do their own app, Swift will probably get the info by mistake.

 

Lol yeah. Qualcomm here is atrocious. Never gets my daily hours so i now wait till it reminds me to send it. Dont enter trailer dropped lol. Am spent 30 min on phone with me fixing qcomn error messages. It all start with me entering the trailer i dropped. Also why no all in one pretrip with tractor and trailer macro? Orientation said never use can 62 yet i get message saying reply with macro 62. Im sure theres more but thats what ive seen my first week here at crete.

 

You can enter a dropped trailer on a delivery, just not at a shipper. Plus the reset message has to wait until after you send in the reset days hours...if it ends after midnite, it usually doesn't get to the op's department before your next load is pplaned. The pplaned reply message was suppose to automatically put in the trip number, but doesn't.(at least that is what a q/comm "do not reply" message said it was suppose to do)

Well, the Snackbar is headed to FL out of Wausau, WI. A 1 stop, 1550 mile run by 1 am Tuesday. A whopping 8500 lb load for a change, plus I get to stop by and get my prepass unit. Wooooo hooooooo!!!!!!!

 

Don't bother sending Mac 62. When I was in orientation in March, they said Mac62 "goes nowhere".

Kind of a precedent-setter for Lincoln, IMHO.....

I'm in Topeka, KS, heading for IN for tomorrow. Almost 700 miles to deliver Saturday, so not bad. Ended last week with an anemic 2400 miles.

 

A driver I went to driving school with got hit head-on last night on his first day solo. He drives for Shaffer like me. He walked away unharmed.

One of the worst things that every driver out here fears the most, and it happens on his 1st day....Man...I'm speachless

 

He sent me these pictures
