[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1422099"] Okay, greengrenades tackled this question. Let me come at it too. First of all, eloc means ending location or end location: your destination. CPU means Customer Pickup. Customers that are picked up by feeders on a regular basis have their own specific elocs. Irregular pickups have a generic eloc , one used for all of the irregulars, at my hub. There should be a list of these elocs on the back of the cpu logs (ask a regular cpu driver if you can make a copy of it or ask your dispatch for a copy). also companies have five digit codes (specific(and unique) and generic, as discussed before . Such as REXMD, a hypothetical customer in maryland by the name of Rex industries. Lets say this company's eloc is 09RX(made up,the company is made up, everything is made up. When you arrive at the customer's location, and you are picking up, it is a pickup, you have to hit options and you will then see that choice. Do not hit TA. If it is a swap: an empty trailer for a loaded trailer that is a turn around.Do hit TA On a pickup when leaving the customer location, the default eloc is the same as the one you used on arrival which usually isn't right. If you forget to change it, you can do it when you get to the next pickup or hub when you hit turn around. You can then change the eloc. The only bad thing about forgetting to use the correct eloc the first time around is that if you are going back to the hub, and you have the customer eloc in there and then change it to the hub eloc after TA, it is more likely that you will not be remotely inbounded and then you will have to speak to an inbound clerk on the phone( which can be loads of fun when english is not his/her first language). Like green grenades said, cpu is not easy, you can go on delay(other work first) on a TA at a customer (swap) but not on a Pickup(that can increase your On Property time unfairly). Okay, hub shifting is other work and then when finished, hit "End other Work" and hit "Hub Shift" . My hub uses "1" for the number of moves(or is it shifts?), regardless of how many trailers you moved. Other work for meal, approved meeting, late dispatch(only at dispatch window which is stupid), If waiting for a load to be finished at a hub- Other work, End other work when load is ready , hit "Delay" and then hit " Equipment Not Ready" . That accounts for some of your on property time. If you don't do that, it can look like you jerked off for 45 minutes when in reality you were waiting for a hub trailer to be finished loading. Well off to bed, I could go on but out of time. [/QUOTE]
