The bad there isn't any backing up your logs to make time...There isn't any averaging your time by the company by company logable speed X 11 hrs ...there isn't any driving extra today ,and showing it on your logs tomorrow and letting your time catch up to ...The qual comm knows as sonn as move the truck more an 1 mile ,and even if you don't put yourself on line 3 it will auatomaticy ,and now your 14 hr clock is ticking...So there is no parking a few miles from the shipper or receiver ,and heading over for your apopointment without claiming the time /starting your 14 hr clock...If your dispatcher sends you 5 miles down the road for an mt ,and it's not there ,and he sits you for 4 hours or more on stand by waiting your clock is still ticking . Come to think about paperless kind of sucks with exception to to it's ease of no paper work ,but it really can screw you , But if your using it your already screwed ,because that means you're working for Werner . :wink:

It's these instances that caused me to not have a good working relationship with my dispatcher and they would not let me switch claiming they had no other open boards for 48/Canada .He was rather shady and screwed me more than a few times , And on the 14th of November I had little patience left for his B.S. /lies screwing me out of money ,And while he was yelling at me on the phone I hung up on him ,And this bruised his ego ,and initiated my termination...problem I'm having now is no good reputable company will give me a chance due to the termination ,Which I have been honest with every employer on my applications about the termination , And the only company in the last month that accepted my apllication turned out to be a company that seemed to have questionable ethics , And could have been more trouble than being unemployed .
That's ok that they ruined my ability to get a job I still have enough cash to buy ebough Ammo for my AK-47 ,and gas to reach omaha ... :lol:

Qualcomm is great when it's not directly hooked into your ECM ,and used for log purpouses , As it is nice for trip info/communication , But that's all it's good for .

Totally forgot you worked for the Big Blue Screw. Sorry.
I know this is a day late and a few dollars short for your current situation trying to collect your back pay, but in the future carry a journal and every trip record in it: Date Dispatched Date delivered/dropped. Location picked up Location dropped empty, loaded and total trip miles trailer number trip number BOL number(s) Any extra pay due for the trip (unloading, extra stops, detention, etc) If you have a lap top you can of course use it, just be sure to backup that data after every trip. Also if you carry a laptop on the truck, at the very least carry a scanner, if not a 3 in 1 printer, so you can scan in your BOL's and any reciepts. If you do not carry a laptop then get a copier or 3 in 1 that will make copies w/o a PC.

Lot's of Werner trucks move through Colorado everyday. If you have wages owed, Colorado is one of the better states, for getting them paid to you.(at least it used to be) See how fast Werner cut's you a check, when trucks are locked up at a Scale for non-payment of driver wages. Be sure to include the fact that Werner runs paperless logs, and that QualComm has all of your mileage and BOL documentation. Just my thought.

What I'm hoping what they claim is true about all qualcom messages being stored for 6 months is true , so the trip which included Dead head from Woodhaven MI to Dwight IL and loaded to Tuls OK ....And then my instructions to DeadHead to Dallas for freight ,as their wasn't any freight in Oklahoma Will be retreiveable and proveable by qualcom record. |
