Field notes
Notes from the dispatch desk
Eight articles on what belongs on the ticket before a crew is named.
Box temperature and the setpoint is written down first
The ticket starts with box temperature and the setpoint.
Next: whether the load is still in the trailer
Whether the load is still in the trailer changes what the crew brings.
Alarm code if the unit shows one
Alarm code if the unit shows one is not a routine note.
Roadside versus a shop bay
Roadside versus a shop bay decides the load.
One local shop for the callback, address after they claim it
One company is offered the request.
Umbel reads the box
The call starts with the temperature, not with a failed unit.
Load or empty
A loaded trailer changes how the unit can be opened.
One shop, then they call back
The window is offered to the nearest paid reefer shop in range. The caller hears that shop will call back. The street address shows after the claim.
