After talking with dispatch for the last three days, repeatedly, about needing a load heading in the general direction of home, and getting nothing, after finally sitting in Madison Heights for more than 24 hours, I finally left out late last night heading towards home. Stopped by the office and...

Exactly. A rib-eye, Porterhouse, NY strip, sirloin, roast, any large cut of meat is not a problem, but ground beef you want to watch the butcher grind it right in front of you, or grind it yourself at home. However, many grocery stores and nearly all butcher shops do not use it. Kroger sells...

Tapatalk has no poll support. There are no definite plans to include it in future releases, but they are considering it. Or at least they said they "might possibly consider it for the future", whatever that means.

Insulated. Living in a bubble. It's the point I was trying to make. OVM also touched on it about habits being an example. No matter how long you're in this business, your experience can still be limited simply by the number of carrier's you are with and by how they do things, and that in turn...

Ya left out the "hot dogs", ya wiener. :D And the rally monkey! Don't forget about the rally monkey!!!

Again, it wasn't the SC, it was the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals. As for the police, the key there is they ask for the phones, and people willingly hand them over for the police to search and/or upload to their kewl little tool. That's been going on for 3 or 4 years now.

That's fine, more power to you. But do keep in mind that that thinking is not the norm in the industry. Services are performed, compensation is paid. That's how it works. One can take the whole "no touch freight" to absurd levels. Most any of us will help load or unload without expecting...

Let's see.... Not true, not true, not true, not true, and not true. Add two more to that. It was the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, it was March 1, the ruling doesn't allow them to take and open anything - only the cell phone, and they cannot upload your info into their scanning devices...

It's not just at those times, but that sure seems to be the sweet spot.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I'm actually at the corner of W 12 Mile Road and Stephenson Hwy, right off I-75 Exit 63. Parked kind of behind the Culvers in the Home Depot parking lot. About to give it up, tho. Yesterday I talked to someone about a load going in the direction of home, they said...

I also think that things contained in the "notes" that you sometimes see on FleetVision should be on the QC. I could have really used that information the other day. Would have made both me and the customer very happy. LEG 2 NOTES: CUST:XXXXXX ADDR:XXXXXX-REQ 96 IN DOOR HGT RECEIVE AT DOCK...

I'll just be happy when they can figure out how to not schedule a delivery time that's 3 hours before the place opens up.

The side walls of an empty Coke can are stronger than the side walls of a Sprinter.

No one in this thread ever said it was a problem with itty bitty handheld thingymabobs. They said it's a problem on both a PC and a Mac. In fact, it was noted that it's not a problem on itty bitty handheld thingymabobs. That's pretty funny considering your post is nothing more than a long-winded...

The reason dispatch takes care of that most of the time is because wrong addresses, stopoffs, detention and a whole host of other things (including even tolls in many cases) are services the customer expects, and is expected, to pay for. Load 1 doesn't pay for these things (in the vast majority...

Yeah, people think gear oil is gear oil, but like everything else with a Sprinter, if it's not on The List, don't use it. For 06 and earlier models, it must meet MB Spec 235.0 or 235.6 (Shell Spirax MB 90, Caltex Hypoid LD, or MOPAR® Part No. 04874469). Later model years must meet MB Spec...

Kinda makes ya wonder if these upgrades were performed by the same people who did the upgrades at Panther which killed the QCs, and the upgrades at TAB Bank. Now that I think about it, though, probably not, since Panther's and TAB Bank's problems were addressed and fixed. I think at this point...

It's a layout design problem, how the frames are laid out. It's the same problem with multiple pages where if there are 1 and 2 pages, those show up to the far right of the "Started by" time, but if there are three or more the wrap to the next line. The vertical columns are hard coded for size...

I've actually never heard of anyone having to replace theirs. My Sprinter technician has never replaced one, and there are precious few posts about it on Sprinter Source about it other than changing the fluid at the right time with the correct fluid.

I really don't see much of a downside to an Available-Sleeping status.
