I personally use a Pioneer AVIC-N1. Now this is the early model, and I believe they are an N3 now. I paid $1500 for it. OK I know that is alot over the top, but I have had it for 2 1/2 years and I have never felt ripped of. It is an in dash stereo w/flip out 9" screen. It has Gps with only...

RE: Is Everyone sick of people tooting their own h I'm not sure I understand what is meant by "tooting". Are you referring to people that offer advice to people who ask questions? If that is the case, then it seems to me there will be alot of questions that go unanswered. If experience is...

Actually, in sorts, OOIDA does occasionally ask us to strike. I just read a thread where OOIDA is asking for a boycott of the Indiana toll road. While they are not asking us to walk out on our companies, in our industry that seems reasonably close. In todays media age you only see and hear...

I am a member of OOIDA going on my 3rd renewal. While i believe they do alot for us as O/O's and drivers. I don't see anything being done to help with "expediting". By this, I mean, lease purchase protection, fsc, log issues, etc, etc are all issues we and the "normal" trucking industry...

There a few load boards like getloaded.com that offer a 30 day trial for free. I would try them first and see if they work for you. Hope this helps, good luck.

I don't get the whole point? Maybe I'm slow, but it seems to me that when asked if you have guns in your home, you just say "No" and carry on with your load. Whether you do or not they can't exactly prove it. I mean I'm sure they know how difficult it is to get into the US side so I highly...

I am a solo long, tall sprinter driver with 100% cargo area available(no sleeper) out of the Detroit Metro area. I am willing to drive anywhere. (In fact, the more miles the better.) Would you have an opening available? Thx in advance.

If everyone wanted to really drive the price of these fuels down all we would have to do is slow down and do the posted speed limit. I never drive over about 62-65 mph. It saves me about 3-4 mpg. Over a years time that is about a $3000-$4000 dollars in extra profit. And if everyone just drove...

Early Saturday Morning, Kyle Rae Smith, an excellent dispatcher from Rodriguez Expediting, was tragically and senselessly gunned down fter bumping into someone in Detroit. The story can be read here: http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060205/METRO/602050343&SearchID=73234931440459...

I can't believe you would associate the thought that thinking that chucking of pee bottles is wrong, with green peace. Pull your butt into a truck stop or a rest area and use the bathroom. It takes about 5 minutes to park in a rest area, walk to the rest room, and use the pottie. Chances are...

Yes, I'll be looking to put a driver in it around the first of the year. I don' t have a driver, but I just want to protect the van. It has over 200,000 on it and I don't want someone driving it at 80 or 90.

I can't believe I'm getting excited when I see fuel at 2.50 a gallon.

Hi, all. I was just wondering if anyone new where to go to get a governor put on my second van? I'd like to set the top speed at around 70-75. Has anyone else done this on their vehicles?

Got mine in SE Mich Friday. Thanx.
