    Delorme GPS

    I've probably put in about 5,000 miles with this new reciever and it still hasn't missed a lick. Evidently they are not made to run 24/7 forever lol. Merk as far as the "off track" mess just go to GPS then settings then options and uncheck recalculate when off track and it will stop that. You...

    Aerocell website search

    I haven't really dug into this but it is my understanding that single rear wheel chassis are under 10,000 gvw and dual wheel chassis are over.Don't think the body would have any bearing on the rating other than Unicell would require a certain chassis rating for certain bodys. My Unicell with all...

    Time to get on the ball in Expediting

    Dave I really can't speak about the larger Unicells as I haven't even looked at them. All I can say is I went to the factory in Toronto and talk to the engineer who's name is Ping. She is a little lady with a strong Oreintal accent which didn't jive too well with my strong southern accent but we...

    Panther II experiences

    Wife and I have been with Panther for over 7 years and are satisfied with them. We run a van. Pulled for CTX before and were satisfied with them except they paid a percentage of load and did a lot of discounting. Not going to say that a dispatcher won't lie to you but overall Panther is a good...

    Time to get on the ball in Expediting

    Sounds like you have some time before making a decision about what to buy. You may want to look at this thread before you buy. http://www.expeditersonline.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=519&forum=DCForumID16&omm=0 It is about my Unicell. I was a diesel mechanic or service...

    Diesel on clothes

    I run a gas van but a lot of places the gas and diesel comes from the same pump and nearly every one of them has diesel spilled around them. Then I get it on my shoes and have to smell it for days. I guess maybe people pumping gas spill it too but it evaporates faster than diesel but it sure is...

    dieseldoctor are you still runnig your Aerocell SR

    RE: dieseldoctor are you still runnig your Aerocel Yes I am still running it and loving it more everyday. Anybody wanting to stay away from the Sprinter and all their problems should look closely at the Aerocell SR. The extra width over a regular van and even the Sprinter sure does give you...

    Delorme GPS

    Got my new antenna in and have ran about 1500 miles and it has not missed a lick. Good strong signal all the time except like some of you said in a tunnel or under a wide bridge. I can understand that.I have moved everything I can away from the antenna. Evidently the lifespan of these antennas...

    Delorme GPS

    Glenn it has been returned twice and both times they sent me a new one. Still same problem. They say I have a operating system problem but with three seperate laptops and two different operating systems I can't believe that. There is some question about maybe the van windshield has solar coating...

    Delorme GPS

    Have any of you guys that use Delorme Street Atlas with GPS had a problem with the GPS losing signal and stopping every once and awhile. Mine has really given me a problem. It started with 2003. Was worse with 2004. And is almost unuseable with 2005. I have tried it on three different laptops...
