What is Macro 39?

• Macro 39 lets dispatch know that you have arrived
  at a location and that the equipment is
  unattended. Examples include while on home time,
  stopped at a truck stop eating, showering, etcIf
  you are going to be out and away from your truck
  for any length of time, you are to send in Macro

Home Time Parking Best Practices

1. Once you arrive at the approved location you must
   send a Macro 39 (Unattended Equipment) to notify
   Dispatch that you have arrived at the U.S. Xpress
   approved location. Failure to do so will result
   in Dispatch contacting you to go back to the
   approved location to send a Macro 39.
2. The tractor and trailer are to remain connected
   while parked at the approved location.
3. Lock the tractor and take the keys with you. Do
   not leave any keys with the equipment.

Home Time Parking Best Practices

• If available, back the trailer against a fixed
  object, such as a utility pole, wall, etc., to
  prevent the trailer doors from being opened.
• Once parked, set the trailer brakes, then tug
  forward with the tractor to put tension on the
  5th wheel. Next, set the tractor brakes this
  will create enough tension on the 5th wheel to
  make it difficult to release the kingpin from
  outside the tractor.
• Do not discuss the contents of the trailer or the
  location of the equipment with anyone.
