Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing? Had 3 different dispatchers call and want to know where I was on my little trip, the macro point kept showing I was still at home.
the real shame of that is your paying for that service....they need to discount that NOT increase that...like paying more for burnt toast.....geewhiz

I don't remember if I said that but if I did I was seriously mistaken lol
you inferred it anyways....LOL...but the days of rolling consistently are all but over IF you want a reasonable rate.....you could always be loaded if you did maybe .55-.60 a mile...LOL

I'll call safety and see if they can get you on the new elogs tablet. For 10$ more a week it doesn't work as good as the macro point didn't work.. How can ya go wrong.
I was paying for my own macro point repairs for awhile, chargers/battery's to avoid the tablet and avoid the switch, but now I'm glad I can pizz another 10$ out the window for something and still have to call in for info that should be on the load profile.

yeah and they are going to try and sell you just how good it is going to be for YOU.....LOL

all these "experts" ever run a spreadsheet on how much it cost to operate the "average" CV?.....does anyone care besides us?....
they complete their work hours with tons of spreadsheets of meaningless history to compile out of date stats...of what is history...

Rolling along. The past two weeks everything has been clicking. Decent loads, pre-dispatched for the next day, a round trip and I even got home Saturday for my wife's birthday and to visit with my taxman.

I got a paid layover to sleep at home on a load that delivered Tuesday morning. Went back home after delivering. Two hours later I got a load to Columbia, MO. Enroute I got pre-dispatched for the second time this string. Waiting to pick up at 13:00 in Hannibal going to Wahpeton, ND. I will see if my luck continues and I can snag a load out of that area. Otherwise I should be able to get a paid empty move home, ya, you betcha.

Either they aren't tracking you, or you might have some real data issues. Data issues do happen with MP, but my theory is they aren't tracking 24/7.

Nope they say parts no longer available to fix this POS so as they die the get replaced by a new and improved tracking dog.. Which they don't have yet. When I get mine I think I'll name it spot!
