    Rand McNally TND 700/710 junk?

    I had one TND that died, sent it in got another. The new one worked fine until I got the map update. Had to get an SD reload chip and then reload the software into the unit. I have dropped mine from the cab onto concrete, getting out of the truck, and it worked until the before mentioned map...

    MDX Customer Service and fraudulent bills

    "Database Mistake"? I don't think so. I was a programmer / analyst for 30 years. Writing a program that matches only on the plate number and nothing else - oh come on. It it was a "Database Mistake", a phone call an e-mail a letter should clear that up. So far numerous calls, numerous...

    MDX Customer Service and fraudulent bills

    I'm checking to see if anybody else on the forum has gotten a bill from the Miami Toll Road Authority? Especially one that is fraudulent. I have received several bills this year from them and it shows a picture of the plate that shows a Florida Tag with "FLEET" at the bottom. The plate...

    Thoughts on Panther Expedite

    I can speak on it from the standpoint of being a H/W team driving for a fleet owner leased to Panther. Would that help? Sorry can't help if you are looking at it from the standpoint of being a truck owner or being a solo.

    computer people queston

    Are you talking about when you look on the drivers web page that shows your location? If so, that is based on your QC position report. Some locations are notorious for confusing QC's. Try resetting your QC and see if that helps.

    Transflo and Linux

    I am looking into loading linux onto my laptop and I'm checking to see if anybody knows if they have a linux version or if one of the emulators (like wine, etc) can run it?

    Sitting around

    Hate to say this, but we delivered in Laredo and on the same day had a load out to Indiana. It was a reduced rate though. And we are also a team.

    My first day of school.

    That's good. Back when I was in High School, they huddled several classes together to watch a video. One of the scenes was where a guy says he makes his own decisions about everything - then his head pops open and a cartoon character says mama's boy, mama's boy. After watching this amazing...

    QualComm Text Messages

    I use AT&T and had only one time when I didn't get a message about a load offer, but it also didn't come to the QC either. Then I got a call from driver services asking what my cell provider was. Told them that it was AT&T, next thing I know I was somehow taken off the service. I think I've...

    Panther Team Needs Truck!

    You say you have been approved by Panther, approved - you've gone thru orientation and just looking for a fleet owner or approved - set a date for orientation? Fleet owners in general don't have time to scour classifieds for new drivers. You need to be proactive as others have said...

    T-mobile: YOU'RE FIRED

    Don't know the particulars about it, and I only have it from the person not from the company. Someone else I know tried the do something to get cancelled route. When he tried to get started with another phone service they told him that they would require a big deposit because of the credit...

    Why are expediting companies always hiring?

    The "revolving door" is not exclusive to expediters. The big boys (Swift,Werner, etc) also have the same thing. Yes the mentality of a dime a dozen applies for most trucking companies. Wanna change it? Good luck. Because the history of many of the trucking companies started out with a driver...

    T-mobile: YOU'RE FIRED

    The only ways I know on how to get away from the cancellation fee are !) Death, 2) bankruptcy, 3) poor reception (with proof) at home, 4) repeated problems with service with documentation. With it only happening 1 time, won't happen. To build your documentation you will have to show that you...

    Saying yes to a load

    Yeap, thanks for the Bus 101 review. I've run into several of those people. After pushing some of them for details I got several different responses. --Don't have enough money after I go out to eat (he eats at every eatery he can doesn't keep any food in the truck). --I'm helping the local...

    Heading to Panther

    Sounds more like he is voicing concern over a lack of experience and an apparent lack of a contract. Yes you do have to start some where. Do a search in the forums along the lines of no contract to find out what kind of problems you can run into.

    Heading to Panther

    I drive for Panther. Also have been teamed with my wife, for almost 3 years now. Team trucks will have an advantage in getting loads. Florida, we can get loads there, getting out is another story. At least for us we usually have to deadhead to Atlanta to get a load. Should you move - I...
