I have heard you can pay a monthy fee to dish network to have a satellite unit attached to the mirror of a truck just like being at home. Does anybody have one of these units? Also what does it cost for the satellite unit, or is it part of the rental. I'm not talking about the $3,000 units...

Be a businessman first? Look for dollar per mile and what they are offering for fuel surcharge. What I have seen and when we look around for any Company is how many miles per week can we expect to travel? (Get refrences from several drivers) What kind of turn over do they have and why? Be very...

A five inch screen that is clear and easy to follow. $800 for it. Buy the extended warranty because I feel the heat...

Davekc: Again you seem to have all the answers to most everything telling the rest of us we are wrong in our opinions with ongoing dispatcher problems! I like your answer to the favoritism point that was brought-up. Again everybody else has something different to say than you.

The rumered new Q-com will have (GPS) mapping on it. Why else would I have mentioned it!! Or have you thought the current system was operated by star & sun navigation, and dont forget a gravity factor!

DAVEKC: You are either misinformed, work directly for Panther, or a good car salesman on the side! I (personally know several people who work for Panther who own trucks including a couple of dispatchers!) I also know some of these People who are leaving because of "conflict of interest"

50% Of Panther II was bought out from a large Company who is making some good changes for 2006. No more favoritism for load offers by certain dispatchers, or People who work for Panther II that own trucks leased onto Panther II.(Conflict of interest) A better more up to date qualcom that has...

THINK HARD BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR FINAL DECISION? If you think driving down the open road and seeing the country sounds exciting, "Wow," are you ever wrong Pal! all you will see is the highway to and from your delivery's. You will be driving all different hours seven days a week through...

"Wow goodguy" You failed to mention your gold rolax. My portfolio is a house with a huge mortgage, a time-ex watch, a leased 2001 freightliner with 436k on the speedo, and my most relaxing time is when I get home and drink cold beer from my refrigerator, "now thats living."

We bought the new Cobra Gps unit that sits on the dash or it has suction cups that goes onto the window, and it works great unlike a computer, I'm not sure how they work? This cobra unit talks to you telling you in a mile you have to make a turn, miles left to the destination and the remaining...

Lets put this issue to rest! As I have mentioned (Call) the canadian Government and get the straight answers directly from them ONLY! it will save you lots of pain and possibly losing your job over being turned away at the border for trying to haul freight in to Canada, or worse. A teacher at...

(Tennesseahawk) Is well informed in what he is saying. Any Misd for any violance is a big problem to deal with no matter how or what had happened. If you were convicted of that crime that is all the Canadians look at period!

Ref: Misdemeanor conviction lets be real about this!!!!!!!! I know a man who started to haul freight with a misd and had nothing but trouble trying to get into Canada. "He could not get into Canada without paying an Attorney big money to fill out special papers to get reviuwed by the Canadian...

I wonder how many people will have to get killed over this totally stupid new law? The public does not know the truck driver next to them is dangerious close to falling asleep at the wheel, just because they have to follow the new law! The public would be a little upset if they knew what is...

Thanks for the reminder to get this subject back on track! If I did not know any better I thought all of the replies back to me were all related to the trucking industry, and how it effects all of our dailey operations & lives. Loved that history lesson, it is a great story that has nothing...

"Supply & Demand," Lets see oh thats right Harley Davidson motorcycles, are maid that way. They produce less so you have to get on a waiting list to buy one so you pay a hell of a lot more than what they are worth. I read the petroleum Compnay's made 200% profit last year, at the expence of the...
