That's too funny! Our mechanics can't take things off or put things back together correctly either.

Don't litter our public roads with plastic! They don't breakdown.
Someone 300 years from now might find that piece and think they found a fossil.

easy now we may not put it back together right but we can take em apart:TR10driving03:

Slightly off topic but an interesting story.


GPS TRACKING - WHERE DOES HE GO?

i had no idea they were on 2 me:smilie_132:

 

[Overton]

Dang, you would think taking the tractor apart to that degree would void Volvo's warranty in some fashion///

::smilie_132:I'd rather drive a out of warranty Volvo than a KW.:TR10driving03:

Anyone know the brand FX is using? I know the link DW has is not the one since it is satellite based and FX is cell based. Found one site saying that the unit cost was around 400 bucks and monthly fees are 20-40 bucks. I'm sure they got a deal, wink wink, but I'll bet it still cost a bunch.

Did a little research, came up with GE Capital solutions Fleet Services, Eden Mn. Try this link http://www.gefleet.com/fleet/news.html
I guess they call it the "Eden System" because they are based in Eden, MN.
Here is a good explanation of what it is GE Expands Award Winning Telematics Solution to Canada - Analytics and Consultancy Helps Companies Dramatically Reduce Costs, Increase Productivity & Green Fleet Operations - Yahoo! Finance
Look for the video link in the article.

just keep that stuff in the city tractors not line trucks. I do sleep on the job it's better than the company getting a call to pick up their freight off the road !

At our center they are putting the Eden System in all the road units first.

Im our sfaety meetings they say for you to stop and get a power nap or get out and stretch a bit to wake up, I don't think it will be a problem unless you need a 1-4 hr nap.

I think you are required by law to take a break if you get sleepy.

Hey Guys, I was told Big Brother is trying to make up their minds which &quot;brick&quot; we are going to use. They have 2 or 3 that they are looking at, each one with different features. When they pick one, then the coil of wire behind the seat will dissapear and you will be issued a &quot;brick&quot;
to talk to the truck, (bluetooth) and HRO. The
&quot;brick&quot; will be your display.

noticed the other day while visiting clt, city guys had new bricks charging, they could be the ones going into the trucks too.

Note the precision cut on the cubby hole.
