    AI, artificial intelligence. Samsara's artificial intelligence system is able to determine whether you're fatigued, distracted or looking down at a phone etc. based on it's own proprietary parameters. Based on what I've found, it's a costly additional feature.

    No you are not the only one, we have been told the same, it sounds ridiculous to have to do, but I usually had some luck but just reloading the DVIR and trying again, it sometimes could take up to four or five times, also moving the truck of all things, and poof all the entries go in no problem, I swear man vnomics is complete garbage.
     
    McUzi Thanks this.

    Started the short week off with coming back within 20 minutes of my 14. Got my dispatch for tomorrow and I'm blown away that I'm going back to a manufacturing facility for the 3rd time in 24 hours with ANOTHER truckload of propane. That'll make more than 32k gallons for them.

    I’ve noticed there’s a nice Kenworth tractor with a sleeper that’s been sitting in the motor pool at work for about a month. It’s in fantastic shape, and the interior is clean as well. I asked whether I can get out of my Mack Pinnacle into that, which I would love because this Mack is a gutless wonder with a small fuel tank.

    Not that the K-Whopper isn’t a gutless wonder either (haven’t driven it), but it has large dual fuel tanks and I have concerns of a bad cold snap hitting the region and running out of hours in a day cab while waiting to load at a propane rack.
    Hopefully I get it, I’d like to have a place to nap on the way to the Vineyard.
