New qualcomm program that knows exactly what you're doing.

I do 2 - 3mph over the speed limit and have never been stopped. The qualcom can be a great tool for such things as proving speed for a ticket but also your worst nightmare if you are running overspeed and out of hours. Since it go's back a year or more any DOT audit can turn up violations and they can go wayyyy back and start writing tickets. One of our brilliant ex-drivers was running loads and not logging them with the logs he turned in but on a different book and then through it out. We do send arrival and departure calls with load numbers on every load so the company and the customer knows where the load is and there is proof it got done. This genius even used different trucks to make it "impossible" for the company to catch him. I asked him what would happen if there was an audit and the DOT pulled random load numbers of the Qualcom and then asked to see who ran that loads logs and then followed that drivers logs with the qualcom to see if he was logging correctly. They might even just pull loads, see who got paid for them and then pull that drivers logs and match it up cross checking with the qualcom. The driver just looked blankly at me. I don't think he quite got what a gps was.

 

a darn transam rookie trying to make us look bad

 

are you on a bean diet? lmao

 

so glad im on paper logs with no qualcomm, no gps or any engine restriction software. i do what i do and go about my beeswax. and when i mash the throttle, my 600hp N14 Cummins lets everyone know im on my way.

i will say this about an unrestricted truck. you will learn even more respect for the machine. i spent day after day stuck in the right lane unable to pass an ant. not anymore. i back off and ride. its wonderful. and i wont do anything to screw that up at all. its too hard to find companies these days that run trucks with the engine wide open. im here to tell you as a company driver, that is rare and very nice.

i do get a reminder now and then. when i get sent out and the deadline to deliver is kinda close, the boss says dont run it to death lol

about a month or so back, i turned 1900 miles in a little under 48 hours. i left on a sunday morning and was back at the yard monday afternoon . so as im heading out for my 3rd run of the week, the boss looked at me with a cheesy grin and he asked me if i had been busy.

 

sorry for the hijack. carry on.

Back in my day in a true large car you should have done 3,000 and had a nice nap!!!

 

Normally those outfits don't pay much and expect you to cook the book all the time. They normally don't stay in business long either. So enjoy it while you can.

 

And Washington.

 

We run paper logs and i love it. Also as an owner/op, my Qualcomm is for messages only .. No sensor tracks either, they believe its the owners business.

 

Joker, I am new, but I heard during orientation they are putting a program called Zone-r in the trucks. Perhaps you have that in ur truck and you do not realize it. I duno... Zone-r can tell what speed ur going, ur elevation, if ur going up or down a hill, RPM's, what gear ur in, MPG, along with ur Qualcomm stats. I am on my second week. We have spoke on other threads. I got a 2012 Freigtliner with 184 k miles, super singles, new mattress clean truck. TTYL
