    The route that they were sending me was Baytown to PHX, then up to Vegas and continue to Hurricane. What I ended up doing was up to the Dallas area and then 287 to Amardillo and 40 accross to Flaggstaff and then North. Turned out bout 100 miles extra.

    My Garmin could not find the address for my next shipper in rural Nebraska, came up on the Qualcom so I'll use that.

    I've had that happen for the Qualcomm and google maps for the same shipper, before Apple updated to their incompadent map software.

    I received a message this morning that my terminal is going to be doing another log audit ( I was unaware they did one in the first place). Anyway the message went on to say that all macros are to be sent in while driver is logged on Line 4, except macro 9 which may be sent on Line 1 or Line 2.

    Personally I think they made a mistake and meant macro 32 is the main one that needs to be done on Line 4. I mean what if you're on a 34 and have to log in just to send in a mac 10 so you can send a mac30? lol

    Yes it has definitely shifted to more live loads from what they promised when I was hired.

    Scottie, MAC 32 is line 4. It is less than 7 mins. It is just a walk around at the end of the shift. You are just flagging it. That was told to me by safety in PHX.

    I NEVER, repeat, NEVER do ANY Mac 10s during my 34. I just catch up my status AFTER I complete my 34.

    After i have had a chance to use it on my mentors truck, i found it too be ok, the GPS is fair could be allot better though, we were on 287 south heading around boise city, ok, down the new section of 287, the Qualcomm thought we were out in the middle of a Feild....... The new section has been there for a little over a year now
    Hos seems to be a whole lot nicer than the paper loss....... I know paper is nicer but it's nice to let the computer be you're secretary

    The ONLY advantage to using paper (vs Elog) is the ability to cheat.
