    Good thing it happened right there and not somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Glad you are back in business.

    MCP200 Question

    Trying to find out why my new out of the box MCP200 is working worse than the old one. I noticed that when I have cellular signal, it works allright, messages come in pretty quickly, navigation is faster. When I don't have cellular signal, only satellite signal, it takes forever to get a...

    Just sitting here, in service, waiting for the phone to ring. I had the best paying load over the Christmas. I picked up a load in Knoxville and was on my way to deliver to Chicago, and I was thinking of deadheading home after the delivery. Well, dispatch did not agree with me, so I got an...

    Qualcomm running behind.

    It cannot possibly be better, or faster, since it runs stupid Windoze.

    Qualcomm running behind.

    Yes, I forgot about the boot up time. Terrible. I also hate the fact that I cannot have a message displayed on the screen while in motion. It would be very helpful to see the directions while moving. I don't need to send messages while moving, but I would like to see a message with the...

    Qualcomm running behind.

    I agree 100%. Just had mine installed 2 weeks ago. It stinks. I wish there was a way to turn that stupid voice off, not the whole volume down. On top of that, it works worse than the old one. Takes forever to get the load info, and the messages are not in the right order. Navigation is a joke...

    How was business for you in 2010

    I need to clarify something here. Even though I made more money this year than last, working less, it is still far from my best year. Best year was before FedEx screwd with our fuel surcharge.....and the flat rate....

    Geico refuses to pay

    I was hit by a Geico driver in the spring and I wanted to go directly to them without involving my truck insurance but they didn't want to pay enough, and were stalling until I just went ahead with my insurance. Paid the deductible, but a few months later got it back since my insurance was able...

    How was business for you in 2010

    Well, 2010 was a loooooot better than 2009. In 2009 I was in service all the time, did not take time off for anything. This year I have taken off so much time, 2 weeks for Haiti relief mission, a few weeks for my wedding, 2 weeks for the honeymoon, one month off vacation, 2 weeks to get my van...

    Don't Trust People on Facebook.

    Ha. How about if you don't have one? I don't have time for that foolishness. A friend of mine was trying to get me to sign up telling me that everybody is there, like even so and so's grandmother, so I should be on there too. Sorry, not me.

    Annoying banner

    I have no problem stealing some bandwidth. :) I did not block adds for a long time, but it got really annoying seeing and hearing Mark all the time. No more. It is no problem at home, but on the road, when the connections are slow, it is just unbearable. And like RLENT said, I never care...

    Dry run and Dwell time

    I will not comment about the canceled loads cause my blood will start to boil. One thing that I would like to see is getting rid of the check in/check out and as a result, the dwell time should start when you send in your POD, or you come back in service. This way if you sit somewhere for 2...
