    Sick Garmin

    I recently got a refurbished Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS. My daughter used my car to drive about three hours to southern Indiana. All was well going down. Coming home, she said the screen was blocked by another screen that said the unit was downloading Bluetooth software. Luckily she found her way...

    Just curious, how much does a basic entry level C truck cost? No, I'm not looking to buy. Again, just curious. I know, there are a lot of variable, just ball parking. Thanks

    Reading a catalog recently and they had a "tire thumper". The short baseball bat type thingie that truckers used to or still do check their tires for pressure. It mentioned that some states could consider this as a concealed weapon. Any thoughts on this?

    Van Pre Trip

    I always did my pre trip inspection AFTER a delivery, as soon as I returned to the Wally World parking lot/truck stop/campground. Got fuel, checked lights, wipers, etc. Then I did whatever. Sleep, etc. If and when a load offer came I was ready to roll. If you log, can you do it that way, or...

    Hello, all. Got a new Garmin GPS for my 4 wheeler recently. It has a double sided sticky tape disc with a suction cup that holds all this to the dash. The dash is rough and the tape won't stick. The suction cut will work on the windshield but it blocks my wife's vision. Any suggestions for...
