WF updates.....

Every time I pick up a trailer now, it asks if I am sure this is the right trailer because it doesn't match my assignment, assignment always says "UNKNOWN" it is a little annoying.

Other than that the other changes look ok, first day I keept doing mulitple DVIR's when I dropped a trailer because I have a habit of doing the DVIR and then doing the drop MT tasks, so I would manually do the DVIR then it would bring it up again when I dropped the trailer.

 

They are using the arrival call, for detention pay. I never like the begin work task, detention starts after your appt time anyway.

 

So far, I haven't had any issues with the updates. I like the inspection immediately after dropping the trailer, and I dislike having to complete steps in order; if I'm waiting on an exception, why can't I go ahead and put in my paperwork number? I actually ran into that one Friday, too. (I use my punkin pad, so I have the load number to write on the trip sheet. I'm still new-ish, so don't have many bad habits yet!)

I also dislike the 'trip planning' option being gone. that was my go-to for editing NAT & ETAs. Other than the time I got stuck, I haven't had any reason, other than planning, to edit those times. I will figure something out, I'm sure.

 

Why is trip planning no longer an option for editing ETA?

 

I just use impossible dispatch, example ETA for 0300 on a sunday with appt of 0700 Monday morning. Best i can figure out for now

 

INTERNAL DIRECTED CHANGE TO SHIPMENT is gone now... looks my new "GO-TO" is gonna be CUSTOMER DELAY. WASN'T ME!!! NOPE. Never.

 

Asked my DBL, she said when you use trip planning, you're blaming yourself for the change. I think I'm going to change to Impossible Dispatch, too

Although I like DFO's Customer Delay, too!
