    Dunno.... I'm not sure how much business we do with them anymore because we don't have their devices in our trucks anymore.
    Was told by reliable sources, (the dudes in the shop), that we weren't the only mega that went down.
    There is a decided dearth of information on this site, which is curious. Perhaps @gentleroger knows something.

    It is sure good the company has such an employee as you.... Just step right up; take control of any snafu, and press on to complete the satisfactory delivery.
    And while performing this daunting task, apparently makes up a 3 hours loss in schedule.. In snow... We will learn: "What if it Snows"? He delivers..:D:D:D

    I think they have a fairly fancy, steel cable loop. You'd do better to ask someone that drives one.

    The OM is woke. Which means I'm woke. Can't drive just yet.

    Looks like we're annoyed as well.
    That's not a friendly way to start the day.

    The DUDE next to us just fired up. Probably to keep warm. The OM is thinking about the carbon footprint he's creating.

    I mean he could buy some long underwear and stuff.

    What about his fuel / idle bonus?

    Years ago, the first time I was doing the Schneider beer account, another driver told me the dispatcher was busting his balls about the idling/fuel bonus because he idled all the time. He said he told the dude, "Man, I get my bonus every day when I can drive my truck like I want to. ".
    Kinda made sense to me
