    Cargo Van Cargo Vanners What GPS do you use?

    My GPS doesn't do traffic. The newer ones do though. I'm old school I still rely on the CB to give me traffic info. If I hear about a back up. I'll load up the iPhone map, which has traffic info. I have a CDL my carrier requires it. As far as the commercial tags I wouldn't know anything about that.

    Cargo Van Cargo Vanners What GPS do you use?

    My PC Miler isn't internet but it is 5 years old. I like it because you can program how fast you drive on what kind of roads. So you have really accurate ETA it won't change time zone on you as you drive, it always on eastern no matter where you are. It will also tell you the second turn, like...

    What to do with those roof mounts?

    My truck still has that old roof mount on the back from the old qual-com system. I see a lot of other cv's with them too. I was just wondering if anybody has figured out some other use for them. I was thinking about trying to mount my USB wi-fi antenna to it. I'm sure it would also make a...

    HOS for cargo vans?

    When I worked for panther they had a 16 hour rule. Once you started rolling your 16 hour clock started. You'd have to sit 5 hours to restart your 16. They were very strict about it too. I heard there insurance cut them a deal to enforce it.

    Turnpike Turnarounds - Possible???

    I recently had a delivery by Topeka and decided to park for the night on the turnpike. Next morning I got a load going the other way. However the service plaza's in Kansas are in the middle. AKA you have to make a left exit to enter them, which means both directions of traffic share the same...
