That would the easiest answer, but we are not allowed to remove them YET They are paired to a specific truck and they(those that train) do not wish them to get mixed up. Second , if they go inside linehaul will not be able to get to them on the weekend with the office locked. Leave them in the drivers room and they may disappear.Just take them out of the cradle
They are samsung 8 inch tablet possible a Tab A of Tab E once turned on and plugged into the cradle, never turned off. Much like your cell phone will go to sleep after logging off.Brand? What do they look like? Still enjoy using peoplenet here.
Yard Move counts has inspection. Eld doesn't require a inspection to show.So the time you are on yard move is good enoughWhat do you do for inspections then?? Just physically change duty status to inspection?
I've never had a single issue with peoplenet outside of the early version with all the buttons on the sides and that circle. If these tablets cant handle the heat, I'd imagine they wont handle the cold that great over night. Peoplenet and Qualcomm are kind of the norm so not sure what to make of the new systems. Then again, I dont care for the 2019 trucks either.
Winter time will be interesting. Price is alot less than Peoplenet.Plus they don't have to be in the shop.Most issues can be fixed behind the scenes.I just wonder what their long term durability will be due to the heat exposure.

Believe more of a OD thing.Do think after they get the bug's worked out they will add the inspection back.But,for now OD is just trying to get it all together for compliance in Dec of this year.There federal eld extension runs out.An inspection notated on your log is not a DOT requirement, you’re just required to do an inspection.

I’m not with OD but we have a handful of those at Estes and I have one, Samsung tablet. Much faster and more reliable than the old Peoplenet unit. I have caught it several times on a hot afternoon saying it was too hot to function but after a few minutes of AC blowing it’s back to business. Big improvement over those old units in my opinion.
Is it like the old ppl net? Once you drive it takes 5 miles or so to change over? Or is it immediately? Can you run around yard off duty dropping and hooking to get a 30. Or at a red light down road go on duty to not waste your drive time.
Yes it’s got those same parameters as the old ones.Is it like the old ppl net? Once you drive it takes 5 miles or so to change over? Or is it immediately? Can you run around yard off duty dropping and hooking to get a 30. Or at a red light down road go on duty to not waste your drive time.
Good to hear they are getting out your way.Hopefully they will have all installed in a couple month's.There ELD Extension runs out in December.Been a crew here in SAC for the last few nights. They're moving the BLU to a side mount on the side of the dash and putting a new cradle for the new units in the spot where the BLU was.No actual units yet.
