The rookie

Yea southeast Michigan

 

Off paper logs for now but workflow or navigation still don’t work can view an overview of the assignment through compass so I pretty much have to call and verify every little detail before I pick up or deliver. I think the only thing that works is the hos but even that has a pop up coming to the top corner every few mins

 

Glad to hear you made it out and happy, that’s the key. It’s been ugly for me and I’m putting in else where.. had my best week last week and just barely cracked 1k gross .This week with the tablet the load canceling on Monday I’ll be lucky to gross $600 with the routing home from Chicago. My dbl is routing me to the Oc just to sit and do the sustainment training but couldn’t get routed for a new tablet. Well that and to look at overspeeds which makes no sense cause Ive fully transitioned into a professional steering wheel holder since the end of May I mean I literally set cruise control when I’m at 25 now and bump it up till 63 ... my cruise control % is in the 80s so we’ll see.

 

They’re saying it’s tariffs causing a halt in freight , and that’s the thing I’m a professional wheel holder now so I pride myself in not touching those pedals unless necessary to prevent the adventure of flying through a windshield. Did you have tablet before you left? Wait nvm forgot I had the special test tablet... the tablet is so sensitive that anything over 5 mph is kicking you into drive.(Rip to the corapolis Oc move) and it also detects acceleration so if you leave 2nd gear to hard it’ll kick into drive

 

I just want something new enough to have a inverter in it. Don’t really care for the 2020s as the bumper is scraping the earth and like you said it’s a giant computer full of error codes

 

Had my First double blind shipment today...

So Yesterday I was flying across 74 and all of a sudden the tablet decided to randomly reboot itself then come back on with an error/malfunction that said to switch to paper logs again. Woke up today and the tablet said the malfunction was cleared and got to read further instructions on the assignment...luckily I parked at a pilot and hadn’t parked in the lot right across from the consignee As they was able to fax me the correct bill even though they sent the wrong paperwork at first and I couldn’t use the corporate card I have to wait for a reimbursement. I traveled half a day with different paperwork. Double blind shipments are all weird. So In the middle of the delivery my tablet hits me with another malfunction.
Got to Gary and got a new tablet was told I had to call IT and have it switched over so I parked did my post trip- and called IT (support IT omg I thought the best system was lazy) It told me to take it to maintenance and tried to just brush it off even though I asked him what was IT for?.. So I go to the service desk and have him call and finally get something figured out now I have to wait for them to switch some stuff and hope it works.
