    GPS Systems

    Thanks Turtle. The FM transmitter is just something that sounded like it might be useful to me (someone who has never used a gps device at all). The only other thing that I saw in the spec that looked to be useful is the feature where it speaks the actual name of the street instead of "400' turn...

    GPS Systems

    Wow, there sure is a lot of options to sort through! LOL What I've come up with is that the the Garmin Nuvi 260 has the basic features I need with the 4.3" screen. The only thing it doesn't have that I "think" might be beneficial in the truck is the FM transmitter. As I understand it, this is...

    Trucking news from WashingtonD.C.

    If you accept the load, your not being scammed. Someone else just got to the gravy before you did. By no means am I saying the cheap freight is ok, but there's no need to blame somebody else for picking up a dollar when they see it.

    Thanks for the advice Diva and Turtle. Diva...the low clearance download sounds interesting. I'll have to look into that before I buy anything. Thanks folks.

    GPS Systems

    I'll probably buy a gps unit this week. I'm wondering if the newer units (600, 700, 800 series) will have this "truck" setting on them. It may not be perfect, but it's better than nothing at all? Would you recommend the higher end units when really just a good routing unit is all I want/need?

    Health Insurance in the Expedited Game

    https://www.ehealthinsurance.com/ehi/Alliance?allid=Mic17852 This is another website where you can compare rates, but I don't suggest using them for a policy. If you can find a local agent, get the policy through them. You'll find that it is faster, the same price and you have someone to...

    Protect yourself online

    Very good info here. That in itself is enough to convince me that I need an aircard for my laptop. Thanks Turtle

    Protect yourself online

    I was wondering the same thing Dave. How about it Turtle? Are the Sprint/At&T/Verizon etc. access cards as vulnerable as the the truckstop wifi's ? Thanks, Rocketman

    Cat Eyes

    I know I've seen them in the truck stops and I'm think at Speedco also. On a side note: Copied from a TeamCaffee post: Pressure Pro or Doran Air Monitoring System We added this monitoring system when we added the super single tires. We are hoping this will warn us if we drop below 12 ½...

    VuQube

    The VuQube isn't too expensive from what I remember. In fact, I think there was thread on here earlier..or somewhere. I'm thinking $800 for the unit? EDIT: Here's the thread..the price is lower than I recalled...

    Search Function

    I've had some problems with the search function. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to search for threads about C & M Transport. Everytime I try, it tells me that there isn't enough words in my search phrase or something like that. I can't really add a lot to it ya...

    Looking at a truck, need opinions

    My guess is that the Volvo is by far the best truck simply because it has the M11 engine in it. That CAT 3126 has the potential to be a boat anchor itself. Although all engines have the possibility of becoming boat anchors, the Cummins M11's have a good reputation. The Cat 3126 has a terrible...

    Where did it go?

    I agree Cheri. They don't have to fool everybody. If a dishonest business person can fool enough people to make an easy living by taking advantage of the uninformed, that's all they need. In alot of sales jobs, they use a 10% rule. If they talk to 100 people, they hope to be able to do...

    Nutrisystem...

    Hi Ladies :) May I ask what is required to prepare these meals? Microwave? Oven of some sort? I would be interested for many of the same reasons previously stated plus I could stand to lose a few pounds. I'm about 50 over my ideal weight, but even 25 or 30 would be nice. Thanks...
