Question on mac 10 & 34

Yes on Mac 34. Where it is ETA to stop, put in PTA, then in PTA, put in a time 5 mins later. then at the bottom just type in update.

 

Hmm never once done a 34 or 32.. Just always do a mac 10 and always running strong...

 

Macro 32 is your DVIR. You should be doing that every post trip for DOT compliance if you aren't on paper logs because it replaces the post trip section of the paper log.

Now Macro 34 I've never done in six months and nobody has said anything about it. Reading blsqueak's post though maybe I should start so I can get the PTA's I want instead of PTA "has ben changed to 0207 0330" 3:30am!??! Yea I don't think so!

 

Forgot to send in my mac 10/34 the other day and got a lil snotty msg from someone..

You are behind on your daily macros. Please send them asap so we can plan you better. Think of your mac 10/34 as clocking into work everyday you come to work. Please send them in before 6am your local time each day, thanks

 

The Mac 34 is also for when the system goes and changes it on you without you knowing. Some times the DM will catch it, and sometimes not. Also like if your PTA is 0800 on the 8th and the system pushes you out until maybe 0600 on the 9th. That just moved you down the line farther. Mac 34 will put you back to the 8th.

 

Yeah, I don't do that mac 34 either. But a couple times when I've sent in Mac 30, it will spit back that my PTA is more than 18 hours away so I call in and have them fix it so I can catch a load. I guess I could 34 it on my end hmmm.

 

Scottie, that is how I know that my PTA was pushed out, when send in MAC 30 and it tells me that it is more than 18 hours, then hurry and send MAC 34, then MAC 30, then either get loads or nothing to offer now. The ones that I hate, send MAC 10 every single day, then send MAC 30, and get told that missing the last 4 days of logs.

 

Yes and there's only 3 slots for the last three days lol then once you send that one, it immediately kicks back a message, driver 'send in the 4th day' duh. Working on it!

Today I made the mistake of putting a Y in the hazmat slot on the loaded call which screwed everything up. Then the system wanted vin numbers and plate numbers then I had to call it in to get out of the terminal.

 

I have now done a MAC 34 twice tonight. The system pushed me out without me knowing. I have a feeling that it is looking at available hours when I drop in the morning. Avail on the 70, 4.5, and pu a whopping 6 Thursday nite. Hope that do not make me sit until Saturday before offering me something. force me to take a 34.
