Ok, so today we did Gold. That was kind of a bust.  Here goes


After a short nap (from boredom) we did this

and then we decided to try for something fun

Which led me to wonder how much I was worth and it tells me
I am worth exactly $2,551,058


The followed up by some Wild Kratts:

And on the FMCSR part, I'm about to send out my speed blast and HOS blast.

Pretty much every truck is a computer, and it tracks all kinds of things. We use third party software to compare the actual speed of the truck to the posted limit of the road.  Then with that information I can use spreadsheet to match the truck numbers to the individual email of the truck and send a message to each driver detailing how many times they exceeded the speed limit in a week as a reminder.  

Very similar to this we track HOS and violations by hours minutes and second.  Each week I use a similar process as described above to reach out to each driver with a violation and let them know how many violations, what type of violation, and the total hours, minutes, and seconds they were in violation for the week.

As a result, many drivers do not like me.  The funny thing is they aren't in trouble for the violations, we're just sending them reminders to follow the posted limit to prevent citations, and reminders to follow the HOS regulations to keep them safe during an inspection or DOT audit.
