Nope...neither one of them was...hence the wild eyed look. Bummer was the king of the hill so to speak and probably the father of all the wild ones....

I don't think so really...between MikeB and MikeSr. it could work...cause you know John would walk thru and say...."what...The same trucks numbers on the board?" something he could beat them up about...LOL

I don't think Ron realizes...just how isolated we are....LOL
Chalkboard? Really? The color thing on fleetvision is better, but just add one color. Bright red for going home. It could not be mistaken.
Remember John said they have 37 requests in for changes. If there is a log jam anywhere, it's with the software provider. Computers are fast, the humans that program them are not.
I've always been one that said dispatchers should ride in a truck. Looks like we should sit with a dispatcher for a while. I don't know how big the fleet is now, but trying to keep everyone moving, keeping track of requests, load bids, etc can't be easy. Then there's Ken.
Change takes time. We'll just have to be patient. At least here, we know someone is listening.

I think that's a great idea. Dispatcher rides for a day, driver sits with dispatch for a day! Lol
Now that would be a nightmare to put together!
Still a good idea Steve.Back in the college days, I took basic, FORTRAN and Cobalt. FORTRAN was a nightmare. The system would only pick up the first 10 syntax errors. You might have 500 cards, but if there was an error on the each of the first 10, you had to correct those, then put them all back thru. Could take a week sometimes on one little problem.
Basic and Cobalt were a little easier, but still time consuming.

Ok, black then or purple, whatever. I always send a freeform message giving the date I want to go home. Usually a week in advance.
Fleetvision is their main tool. I would say that it is where it should stare them in the face. Just trying to keep it a simple solution without putting more on their plate.
