    Well im in the southern Ashland Va TA right now.

    I had a drop at a naval yard this morning. I walk up check in, get told to wait. Walk back towards my truck. Talk to a driver; who is either under his own authority and doesn't own his truck or, some combination of something. Well after a while I want to go back to my truck, its 33'F. He shows me a picture of his foot and his toe was cut off due to a MRSA infection. OK

    Now, the funny part. When he pulls up to the gaurd shack they get in his cab and search it, then he tells them he has MRSA and is on a bunch of antibiotics. So, five minutes later the gaurd says he feels sick and goes home. When its my turn to get escorted they are all #####ing about him. I thought it was too funny.

    I'm trying to get my eobr to work. I bought a Samsung tab4. I got to eobr to connect. But when I drive it won't switch over to drive at all in the jj Keller app. I have GPS turned on the tablet, of course. I'll call Mercer tmmrw and ask.

    the ELD should use its own GPS and not require anything from the one on the phone or tablet device. The first generations ones had an external GPS, the later ones have it built into the box.

    Call Keller directly, they can answer those questions much better than our folks at Mercer.
     
    77fib77 Thanks this.

    Well if you have the green light, blue light and the tablet shows online or whatever, don't bother calling mercer. Call jj Keller support. They can help you trouble shoot it.

    I want an upgrade then! LOL. Mine uses location info from my tablet. Not really GPS. And if I go to places like area51 I have to manually type where I am in.

    Don't feel bad, so do i. And I don't even have to be in area 51, just randomly. Hell, area 51 it probably recognizes, but ive had to tell it sometimes right outside of a major city.
     
    CJndaTruck Thanks this.
