    The really nice thing about the current out of route situation is that nobody even looks at it anymore.

    Anyone wanna talk about scanning paperwork? I missed that part in class.

    Also, what all do they want you to turn in, when you scan paperwork?

    Thanks for any and all help.

    What i did was once i got empty, then accept the next load and knew the weight of next load, i head for the truckstop, get my fuel, hand her my paperwork, scan it , send it in, done, almost, then i go too the copy room if they have one and make copys of everything, now my fuel is paid for, my trip is scanned, and i go park and file my copys in my file folder, then i wait for the ever for famous 1 am load time too be there the next day at 2 pm at 567 miles away :biggrin_2556:

    I know how a transflo works...But I need to know what has to be turned in on every load, and how do I make sure to get paid for scale tickets and what not?

    Make sure the weight justifies scaling first off. If not sure call you FM and get authorization. Make sure you do a Macro 7 (expense report) before you do a mac 8. Include all expenses, tolls, scales and anything else on one macro 7. You can only do it once per PRO number. Put a sticker on the first page of the BOL. Only one sticker needed. Make sure you send the BOL including the page with the caonsignees signature. So you send:
    Scan Cover Page
    BOL with ONE sticker
    All receipts

    If you have a large packet for a BOL, you will not need to send it all. It will be summarized somewhere, send that. I think a 3 page BOL i the most I have sent.

    That is it

    Can't send a Mac 7 without driver tech...But the other was what I needed to know. The scale ticket was an MT weight I needed for a ld. I thought you had to sticker every page of the BOL, but since you don't I'll quit wasting stickers...LOL.

    I am sooooo happy to see this......mine said I was out of route about 22,700 miles.....30 less than I had on my odometer....LOL

    I pay no attention to it whatsoever......I'm out of route even when I'm sitting at the customer.

    I am also glad to hear that they don't pay attention to the OOR.. The way it sounded before I started was rediculous.. Don't get me wrong, OOR is a waist of fuel, but sometimes you HAVE to go a different way,, and the first time I have to pay $1 per mile,,,,I'm gone!
