Well, I spoke to Deland about moving over to Hunt. If I want to, I have to go thru all the application, physical, road test like a total new hire. The only thing I get to keep is my profit sharing, health insurance and seniority. Even going through orientation again...might be worth it...just to try Hunt..the change might do you good

The rejected freight has been sorted out, finally. It went from "we're trying to get an appointment at another JBS plant in TX" (Cactus, TX), then was told they won't take it and we're working on t'calling in Wilmer. I called Deland before they went home because, since I was still under the load, I needed a new fuel solution, and was below where the system would allow me to get one without help. After I got it, I talked to my Fleet Manager, and asked about Hunt, and then proceeded to lay out all the issues I have been having with the system, Op's, butthead and all the screwed up load crap I have been dealing with. While I was talking, they sent me a T-call assignment, then a minute later, a message that I was taking the load to Cactus...so now she has an example of what I've been going thru. She had to go, so I message Lincoln about which one they wanted me to do. I then get a call from butthead, he said he made the decision to t-call and that I was to ignore any insistence that I take the load to Cactus...and he put that on the Peoplenet as well. Amazingly, the fact that I was interested in moving to another Acklie company was made known to Lincoln because of all the b.s. I have been dealing with, and he suddenly is more cooperative. Later, I received a message about not being able to just swap to Hunt without jumping thru hoops from Deland.

Then, on the way to Wilmer, the appointments for pickup and delivery of my preplan changed. It now picks up Sunday and delivers Tuesday...and after all the problems I had to deal with on this load, along with all the crap I have had to deal with the last few months, I couldn't care any less if I had to.

The Peoplenet borked my 34. Bobtailed PC to Wally from Wilmer. When I started my truck to leave Wally, it asked if I wanted to continue to use PC. I chose 'yes', put it in gear, and started moving...got a few isles over, and noticed I was on drive time. Tried to hurry and switch it back...but the #### thing froze, then rebooted...it almost went out the window. I called Peoplenet, and they are like our safety department...drive time cannot be changed for any reason. So a 34 it out the window for less than one minute, and it was a unit malfunction that caused it.

Yep,mine froze and rebooted today also.

My company ditched Peoplenet last year because of the same bs y’all are dealing with.
