Talked to Sara my Se Regional fleet mgr today about it,was told I would have to come to Joplin to upgrade the QC,so thats a nogo and out of my region,she said its totally voluntary unless your having a problem with OOR,like most of the new hands are,,I said here they are for the most part all have some sort of GPS in their truck ALready and they have OOR issues,,she asked me what GPS do I have,,I replied,2006 Rand Mcnally Laminated (with pages falling out) atlas
I'm rolling with the brand new RM 2012, but no laminated pages. I like to work as a hybrid routing program. I consult my GPS, Google maps, and my Atlas together in order to find the best routing.
ECU- S.F. Is by far the best dispatcher I've dealt w/ and if that's what she said then I'm happy. What region is she dispatching now?
Today's update 3 miles under dispatch on last load, 19 miles (5%) under on the load that's getting delivered now
Maptuit is not a true GPS, it is a computer program like Mapquest. I first heard of it in 2003. Rather have GPS.
NICE!!! So your one of the few people on here that realize my username is not a misspelling but an actual intentional name. I'm originally from Ashland. Dated a girl from PI when I was in middle school but you know you city people are too cool for us potato pickers so it didn't last long FUN FACT- I have The County tattooed on my back, well the whole state, but all MT except The County is outlined with a star where Ashland is
Well I lived out by the Drive In on top of Windy Hill Across from Aroostook State Park,,and My Grandfather had 1500 acres of Northern maines Finest(2 row digger) and barrel trucks and oh yeah 150 milking cows,,thank god I found out I was alergic to Snow I graduated in 80 went into the Navy,met my wife of 29 years in NC
Yeah, not many farms left Doyen's still is in Mapleton, Smith's in Mars Hill/Blaine, and One big one near Van Buren.... But not has changed much. Rumor has it they may start mining gold, copper,etc near Ashland on Bald Mountain but earth loving hippies in southern Maine are doing their best to stop it. If it happens and seems stable I may try to get a job driving up there for a bit, I'd take a paycut to be able to raise my family in The County. My father was a coach and a little older then you I think at the time girls high school basketball maybe middle school last name is Millett but related to all the Morins' and Daigles' up north. I guess being related to them meant i was destined to drive truck, run a business, and get in to politics... Now only to dominate the politics in a few years and I can live up to the full family reputation
