“And
below is from fellow Arpin driver ..
I just got an over
length citation in MT. The DOT officer ask me to get the word out because they
have been hitting alot of drivers recently. If you have to tailgate through the
state of MT you must purchase an over length permit before entering the state.
Cost of permit is $10 per trip, or $85 for the entire year. If not purchased
before entering the state it is an $85 fine plus cost of permit. This is good
information to add into your morning email with fuel discount info.”
The age of getting
information is here.
The age of sending
information is HERE!
I got this in an Email
this morning and it hit me, just how important any information, that saves me
money is. Think about it , social media, texts, our IPAD , and cell phones have made
our job so much easier and more profitable. Why is it some folks still shy away
from the future? We all need to stay up with the news within our industry, and
information/communication is the answer.
Anybody else remember
calling dispatch, leaving the pay phone number you were at and waiting for a
call? Anybody else remember, waiting 3 months before you got home, to read the
news sent to you by your company in the mail???
This should be a rant
about getting up to date with the Mobile Mover product, but, I think it's more
about staying away from technology...Getting the newspaper to check the
weather, when you can get live weather feeds on your IPAD. Or how about going to
the webcams available and looking at a live feed of what Elk Mountain, and the
roads right there, look like? ANYTHING you need, you can find....
EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY!

This one made me laugh...
I have no idea how we did this job without today's technology. But we did ! I remember knocking on the neighbors door to ask if we could use the phone to call dispatch. And the reply would be, is it a local call ?
Then came the pagers/beepers...
Every page from dispatch would be a 911 page, lol !
Good one Coach... It made us who we are...
