Estes | New rumors!!!

[mildew]

Rumor has it you had to jump out of the window twice. Ol man came home and chased you down the street. Any truth to this rumor?

Dang! It's funny you've said that. Keeps me young. It also keeps everyone awake at night. I always have a new story of current events that's taken place in mildews life.

We're getting a new eld system. Only hearsay from umpteen drivers. Haven't seen actual facts so this is probably useless info. I don't believe a word of it

I’ve seen videos of the new setup and it looks ridiculous. I hope they improve it before they force it on my barn.

This new system definitively won't work. I'll explain later. I'm currently ordering another brewsky and some Texan fajitas

Cant move the truck before you log in. So no more fueling and hooking up before you log in like a lot of line guys do. How you enter pre and post trips is a bit different than old peoplenet. You have to certify each individual trailer as Safe to Operate.

The main thing guys are worried is the time. Being on duty before you even put the truck in drive. Probably wont effect city guys nearly as much since you guys clock in first anyway(as far as I know). Linehaul guys with he longer 600+ mile runs are somewhat concerned. We'll see how it plays out.

Maybe its time to adjust the HOS to something human beings can have a life with

It started at my terminal. Guess I lucked out because my tablet never updated. I have one of the new Samsung tablets in my tractor. Seems like a lot of drivers were having problems with theirs freezing and restarting.

 

[M3ATY]

It just seems over complicated because when we asked the person giving the training on this they didn't have any answers for us other than watch the video or read the pamphlet given out.

Then check out the new proposals for the change of HOS the Gov. is proposing. Able to take your 30 min break while "on Duty", up to a 3 hour off duty break allows you to work 17 hours!!!!!!!!!!! Comment period is open now. make your opinions heard. Safety my a$$... https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/fmcsa-hours-service-proposed-rule

I hear Estes put add ons that were not government mandated.Why not simplify the basics for the intro,then gradually add the extras?

I’m shocked we have any freight at all with the high rates, shoddy service and constant damage claims.

They definitely need to rethink the Linehaul operation altogether. As far as the damages, there should be better training for everyone who handles freight.

 

[drummerforhire]

Wonder what that’s about
(Help, mud)
