    Rand McNally TND 700

    I've had my 465 for a year now and your take on it is spot on Shelled One. It's quirky, to say the least. I was running south out of K.C. to I44, 71 I think?, and when I got a few miles from 44 it wanted me to get off and take some convoluted route instead of just continuing to 44. I cut 10...

    What do Glenn Beck and Lindsay Lohan have in common?

    If the two of them got together to cry I'm sure it would be a delightful two part harmony.

    Specing a new truck, need advice

    My experience with the MBE 900 is pretty good so far, at 345k. The EGR cooler was replaced under warranty and I've had a belt tensioner failure. Fuel mileage is excellent with the Mercedes 6-speed auto-shift, commonly 10.5 to 10.75 and as high as 11.5 occasionally. Speedco stocks the filters for...

    Then you haven't tried Blue Parrot. The people you're talking to won't even realize you're on a headset. There are other brands that are as good. You just have to be willing to put up $90 bucks or so. You get what you pay for.

    How many expedite trucks/cargo vans have you owned?

    I've heard a lot of talk that class 7 Cornbinders are a major POS and I didn't want to spend my money finding out if it's true or not. I'm pleased with my M2 106.

    Driver Responsibilities

    Driver responsibilities can be covered with 2 words, common sense. I'm sure there are thousands of stories out there that would simply come back to those 2 words. The dolt that just used 2 load bars on a piece of machinery would be a good example of someone sadly lacking basic common sense.

    CSA 2010 Question

    Carriers don't randomly cancel the contracts of drivers that bring value to the company. If a carrier cleans house from time to time, that's a good thing. That is as long as you're doing a good enough job to not be swept into the dustpan. I don't see why it would hurt their recruiting efforts...
