    I don't get a call from dispatch, I've been getting a call from a planner.

    Yes..i had a call from a planner last week..it looks like it’s only on specific customers like tyson right now due to late deliveries and tyson threatening to remove lanes from us..frankly get rid of some these drivers who are f’ing up..im sure lack communication from the driver about delays are one part but also break in communication between the asset mgrs and the csr and lp…generally they preplan way ahead and so there should be no excuses…now of course there’s times when things get wrecked due to equipment issues and or customer delays such.. my asset mgr doesn’t really worry about me since he knows the tightest of loads i will get it there ontime short of weather delays or breakdown…

    It's on the passenger side, you can't drive out of that side of the windshield too. Boggles my mind why you would sit around waiting for an answer, I would've never stopped to begin with and just called it in.

    @supersnackbar I figure u are well versed in the sam crappa elog technology. do u know how to get rid of this ? Says a power event detected with a red box. Or what is causing it? What is a vehicle gateway cable?
    Every once in awhile I get this notification but it goes away after a couple minutes. This one has hung around for a couple days, tried updating the app, still there..sign in sign out, same thing. our office people don't work on the weekend and don't wanna bother them for something dumb . Figured u might know what this is and how to fix it. Or if I shouldn't even worry about it.

    I’m guessing that it’s just telling you that at some point it lost signal with the truck.

    This happened to me in May of '21 just north of Stringtown in OK. Exactly 4 years ago. I ended up getting towed to some rinky dink shop near Sherman TX. No glass companies near enough in OK to come out cheap enough. Breakdown found a place in Sherman. Took them a day because they had to order the glass gasket. Truck only had 65k miles on it. bird strike.png

    With this company, you report stuff like that to safety/accidents as soon as you can. Safety had me send in pictures, and immediately transferred me to the breakdown department so everything had a claim number so that when I went to have it fixed they don't immediately blame me for doing something to cause it. It was the breakdown department that said sit tight until you hear back about whether it needs to be fixed right away (he saw the pictures). So when safety and breakdown say sit tight, you sit tight. You have to remember, this company is so tight assed on safety stuff, they used to have you go thru Defensive Driving class if one of your trailer tire recaps blew and bent the mudflap bracket, so when they say sit tight, it's their truck, their money, so you sit tight.

    While it isn't in my direct forward line of sight, it is within my line of sight and in the sweep of the windshield wipers if I were trying to see something that direction. And it is larger than a single crack that spreads from a rock chip. So, if I were trying to look out towards something that direction thru that part of the windshield, it is visable and does slightly interfere with my line of sight, so some anal retentive DOT cop might have an issue with it and write a warning.
