    A Qualcomm is like a small ON Board Computer in a sense that is installed in your Truck. The Expediting Company and you can communicate on it. You can type into it. You recieve your load and pay info on it and more. Satellite transmission.

    I'm not sure what kind of diesel vehicle you're driving, but I can tell you I cannot idle my 2011 Freightliner Sprinter.
