    In compliance with the ELD Mandate? Are they saying we have the AOBRD and will have to upgrade to the new ELD?

    Oh what joy. The charging port on my phone is going out, so my phone (Galaxy S5) isn't charging like it's suppose to. Time for a new phone.

    Not you. The units that they put in the 2017 trucks are fine from what I gathered. The mcp50. According to omnitracs it can be updated to the latest software that's even on this unit. It is both an ELD and AOBRD.

    They've just been having problems with them so if you have a problem with it there you are going to replace it with the new ivg unit. Which is what happened to me.

    The trucks that have the big bulky unit with the keyboard the 100 series I think, those are the ones that will have to be updated to the new units. From what I gathered.

    Looks like Christner lost some of the land they use to use to the east of the lot.

    Changed some settings in the drone app. Got it up to 328ft. Then it got caught up in some wind. Almost lost it as the wind was in control of the drone.

    They've leased it to the state for the 100 plus miles of I44 construction. Adding a lane.
    My first thought was it doesn't need a lane. But every other road in OK needs fixing.. lol. So of course they're working on this road with no real problems..

    It's a shame, used to love taking my dog to the north east corner and dropping the leash for some fetch. It was just far enough away from the road for it to be ok.

    But I learned yesterday there's a walking trail on the west side. She'll like chasing geese as well. lol
