    Occasionally my travel agent asks a question that needs a prompt reply. I need to get him to message me on my phone if it's important.

    SSB for future reference on your tablet on the little bell that sits at the top of your screen if that ever turns yellow with the number through it that means either you have received a pre-plan or they changed or set an appointment time on a load that you didn’t have an appointment for… Thought I’d let you know that so you know whether or not it’s a imperative message or not

    The point I knew I was a legit trucker was when I drove through Donner pass listening to a podcast and didn’t remember any of the gear shifting at the end. It was a manual but it was all automatic.

    Reset? How do you do that?

    I saw the little bell icon. I got a notification from Love's that showed up there too telling me that if I buy a certain amount of DEF this month, I get extra points...like I have a choice where I fuel.

    Well, another load, another reschedule. Even before I get to my shipper, I realized that there is no chance in hell I will make it to my consignee with enough time to even get the small sleeper side of a split break. Pick-up appointment is 7 am (Pacific), delivery is 1 am (Mountain), it's 480 miles and 43k lbs. So, at least 8.5 driving hours, a 30 min break, fuel and load time. I might have 5ish hours in between if they're quick in the shipping department, so there is no way I can split a legal break. They do have parking at the receiver's end, but it's out in the street in front of the warehouse so I might be able to YM to check in and to my door, but without a uninterrupted 7 in the bunk, then that means I have to do a break after, so this 480 mile run it gonna turn into a 2 day run. I have had 1 good week(and 1 good paycheck) since I started. This week I will have under 1000 miles and 2 days layover, so this check is gonna suck sewer scum too. Can't wait until my wife gets her doctor's appointment and 90 day prescriptions filled in early May because coming here is looking like it wasn't such an improvement over what I was doing at SPD.

    And your manual shifts were probably smoother than what any automated gearbox could possibly achieve.

    There’s two buttons on top of the tablet. Push the left one hold it down and then they’ll be a power off or restart button hit the restart button and reboot it

    I have rebooted that way several times over the last few weeks, and it still doesn't play the message, all it does when you hit the play button is says something like'you have a new message' or 'a new message has arrived' or something like that. I had the thing hang up on the HOS tab of the workflow last week and had to reboot that way because it was unresponsive and none of the buttons would get me off that screen
