You seem to have some difficulty in reading comprehension - I said [several times] that I have used S&T with the GPS on a laptop as well as a Garmin. FYI, I've also driven t/t, and furthermore, I am definitely NOT a 'dude', ok? Your responses to Turtle were rude beyond any justification and...

All the rest areas, truckstops, Wallyworlds, and more can be quickly found in "The Next Exit", or you can download a brazillion POIs [points of interest] from the Garmin website, like bank locations, speed traps, red light cameras, just all kinds of goodies. But the bottom line is still safety...

Garmin [and maybe others] offers a widescreen version. If you confuse easily, having exactly the info you need displayed, and no more, seems a better choice, no?:confused:

'S ok - debate is a good thing, and I enjoy an intelligent argument, really. I just don't think that a laptop was meant to be used while moving, as opposed to a GPS. If you can do it safely, my hat's off to you, cos I don't think the majority of us can - and that includes me.

And for the dude hyperventilating in livid color, settle down dude! The world won’t end tomorrow. Some of us brains don’t operate nearly as slowly as yours apparently does. [In my best DiNiro voice] You talkin to ME? Cos I think I have every right to hyperventilate if I think your [distracted]...

The preceding clip on YouTube is EXTREMELY graphic - don't watch if you can't stand blood, for real. It upset me, and I have years of experience dealing with accident victims on a trauma unit. It also upsets me that specific behaviors [first talking on a cellphone, now texting] are targeted as...

George: while you may be that one in a million who can absorb a lot of new information in a hurry, most of us aren't, and what you're proposing [learning about both expediting and finding your own loads] is a LOT of info to soak in. Best advice is to at least learn the business of being an O/O...

The possession and/or consumption of alcohol is prohibited in a CMV. Texting, [no matter how dangerous you personally consider it] is not [yet]. It probably should be, and probably will be, but so far, it's not against the law. Driving while distracted is the root problem, and I wish there were...

George: I think you misunderstood - it's not the wrong forum, it's the wrong questions. Asking which vehicle or carrier is 'the best' is like asking whether Ford or Chevy is better, ok? The one that's better is the one that you prefer. Rather than repost the questions, you should do a lot of...

Hope the codriver's going to share? JUST KIDDING! There really isn't any question - call the owner before anything else, and ask how he/she wants to handle it. I'd also add that I would refuse to continue with that codriver, period.

Posting on a public forum is like driving: there are others who may take offense [whether it was intended or not], and some lack the self control and/or emotional maturity to respond as an adult - particularly when they feel protected by the 'anonymity' of the internet. These are probably the...

One run in with the EPA is enough for me, thanks. [shudder] All that money down the drain, and I didn't even get a "Most Wanted" poster out of it - just a lifetime supply of Chiclets, [& I don't even like Chiclets, dammit.] On to the next glorious adventure, I say! Because I have faith in Moot...

You KNOW I'm in - while the Col makes kraut, I can make pierogi! :D PS I still think the gators flopped cos the Chiclets just didn't look fierce, ok?

I think that buzzy noise I was hearing the other night wasn't part of the audiobook after all, lol

Turtle: thanks for the info - it was Pa that wouldn't issue the pass for the truck I didn't own. Think I'd rather deal with getting one from Illinois than whining. ;)

There's also PDMD [professional drivers' medical doctor] clinics - not sure of any locations other than the Atlanta Petro, though.

Inky: only the owner or the carrier with which the truck is leased can get the EZ pass - I tried in a previous truck, [in Pa] and couldn't get it myself. Just keep reminding the owner that the Pass is easier and cheaper, eh? [Or ask how much whining you need to do to get one, like I did, lol] :D

Some pretty good ones - though I can't believe they got OMG WTF past the censor, lol :eek::D

When folks click on the cloud on yr post, they can agree or disagree with your post, and add a comment [or not]. The number of positive comments determines your 'reputation' [the number of green boxes you have, which can change, obviously]. It's a pretty good system - you can neither approve nor...

Though my family lives in Ohio, I've always felt more like a Southerner, lol, and I like my tea & coffee SWEET. Which is why I was interested in stevia, tehee. Which I just looked up, and found Greg and I are both right: it was banned in 1991, unless labeled as a supplement [political...
