    Becoming a partner carrier>

    If you have your own authority you have a better chance of aligning yourself with some of the more reputable carriers. Some of the same carriers who will not entertain a non-exclusive use lease will take on partner carriers who have their own authority. If I were going to try the completely...

    Best Bluetooth headset, no Blue Parrots here

    In some ways, the straight truck is actually easier to get into than a Sprinter. It will cost more, but most any carrier will sign it on as opposed to most of the better carriers have a waiting list for Sprinters. A few more specifics would help to get you some better answers. 1. Are you...

    LandShark is out of business.....

    Not unfortunate at all. Its not so much that I believe signing with one carrier in and of itself is the correct answer. Its that the majority of the carriers that comprise the multiple carrier segment are startups. Startup businesses of any kind are more likely to fail. It has always been that...

    Cheri...I think that in the days of 80 cent a gal diesel, it may have been true. These days not so much. I would only run it when needed for heat, cool, or battery charging. I know it would be a tough request of Turtle, but what you need is 2 very simple numbers. At what point on the volt meter...

    Best Bluetooth headset, no Blue Parrots here

    I think you will find that the people who tested those devices havent spent a single day in a noisy truck. I havent owned all of those headsets but I have owned one of them and it doesnt even come close to the call quality I get from the blue parrot. There is a reason why the blue parrot...
