[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 813120, member: 6408"] Uh, we heard this when IVIS was first implemented, what, 15/20 years ago? Can't remember. Mangler said, "Within 2 years, you'll be able to punch a button 5 miles from destination and you're in. No more stopping at phone, no more dispatch, etc. The Elvis will tell you where to put loads and what you're taking out, if any thing." Here yet? I don't think so. Looks like more paperwork to me. At least it was in sleeper. Walk upstairs to get dispatch. Let's see, pre-dispatch was already in their computer, BUT, they hafta write out yer numbers and bays to hand deliver to you. You hook up. Write down numbers w/seal control numbers in paper log book. Then you punch same in to Quaalcom, which is sent to Louky. Then you stop at outbound phone to holler up numbers that they should already know cuz they're the ones that gave em to you in the first place. THEN you hafta punch Quaalcom for leave to transmit numbers to Louky OR phone Louky if their system is down (which was almost 24/7). Arrive? Same thing in reverse. Stop at Center phone, punch Quaalcom or phone for arrival, update log, walk upstairs after dropping, get pre-dispatch...and on and on. More computers? Bring it on. Just means more time and more paperwork. Oh, now? You say they've got it perfected? Hmmm...OK. We'll see, er, let me rephrase that. YOU'LL see. I don't go to work anymore. [/QUOTE]
