Good for you Victor...best wishes for continued success. Safe travels!
Thanks Gtown. Been a real busy day and on top of that a really hot one and one with tons of traffic goimg through Nashville, Tennessee and my qualcomm screen went out due to a loose wire so had to use my phone gps. Lol been a very eventful day. Just happy to crash tonight in bed. Late to delivery too because a driver or two was lazy on pretrip and left a bald tire on the loaded trailer lol. I keep fixing Swifts trailers. Man cant wait to try my hand at flatbed the only thing that I am afraid of is not having a manual tranny which helps with fuel mileage and keeps the joints moving throughout the day. But we will see.
Qualcomm:
Omnitracs (a.k.a. Qualcomm) is a satellite-based messaging system with built-in GPS capabilities built by Qualcomm. It has a small computer screen and keyboard and is tied into the truck’s computer. It allows trucking companies to track where the driver is at, monitor the truck, and send and receive messages with the driver – similar to email.OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

I can truly say that my dispatchers and planners are remarkable and quite the people I needed when starting out in this career. Just amazing how they work with me. I have already had a rider with me and I really enjoyed their presence. Cant wait though for 6 months to be up so I can try my hand at flatbed. I will make Lord willing over $935 even before my time to get miles on this pay period is up. Yay! God is good!
Dispatcher:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
