Running with JCT, Part Deux

Lol. I'm here at Winco in Modesto and JCT calls me asking if I'm at the drop yet. I had just pulled in and was in the process of sending the arrival macro. They said Tyson was telling them I'm late which got JCT freaking out. I was confused and had them explain it again. So, I then said remind Tyson of something called time zones. I'm an hour early. The dispatcher looked at his computer again, and was like, well, sorry about that. We looked at it wrong too.

 

How about running 4 days at 35+ degrees and all of a sudden they send an EAM (emergency action message== extra points if you know the name of the movie) to please confirm temps on the bills-- yes bills say 35 but the computer back at the office says 30.

 

Ok my new place I don't like delivery to is the whole foods in Seattle. This place is tighter then the so cal run to Denver.

 

Thats why after every loaded message I send a freeform "temp *** confirmed on bol" now. That and got tired of the "confirm temps on bills" message after I started rolling

 

Lol. I do that same exact thing for the same reason.

 

That confirm temp would tick me off to no end when i would get loaded late in the evening, find a place to park to go to bed and get the message right as i was falling asleep from night dispatch to check the temp on the bols

 

Whenever there is XXX for a temp in the load dispatch, JCT is supposed to ask for confirmation as they don't know what the temp is supposed to be. If you send a free form message after your loaded call, that should avoid that. That and in conjunction with your macro 1, should remove any doubts. But then again, you're not always dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed. IJS

 

Yeah they would ask to confirm even when the temp was listed in the dispatch load info. Drove me nuts.

Also I got my replacement scan gauge and cord. They straight up just cut two posts off in the connector. Works though! What gauges do you monitor, steel? Was thinking about getting an x gauge to monitor dpf pressure and temp to monitor regens a fuel temp one (I can see that in the Qualcomm) maybe fuel pressure so I can monitor the filters for clogging.

Also, you going to follow the 50k service interval or change more often?

 

Actually there were some software changes and data transmission changes with the pins.

I run with the standard gauges: MPG, AVE, GPH, and either boost or horsepower. Have never messed with the X gauges. Looks complicated. LOL

I stick to the scheduled service intervals. As it was explained to me, get every mile out of your pm and save your money.
