This thread is a continuation from another thread where this particular topic didn't really belong. :) That's crazy small. But has me wondering. It's says on the 1000 Amp one, up to 20 jump starts on a single charge. But will only charge a smartphone up to 4 times, and up to 8 times on the...

Gonna move this discussion to another thread.

Definitely not the QC. When the MCP 200 is on and fully operating it draws a maximum or 1.5 amps. That 1.5 amps is with the screen set to full brightness and the unit actively sending or receiving messages, doing a position update, or actively seeking a better WiFi or terrestrial connection...

Thanks to all. Weird birthday today (but then again they're all weird in expediting). I spent the day trying to track down a 1.65 amp draw on the battery when the key is off. Pulled every fuse and relay and still can't find it. Next step is to take it to a professional. On a side note, I can...

Another Virgo. Yay! Happy Happy!

Look up the Carmack Amendment. It establishes minimum time frames for filing a claim and for filing lawsuits for a denied claim. It's 9 months for filing a claim, and a minimum of no less than 2 years from the date of a denied claim. But there are plenty of exceptions. Generally, the time frame...

Again, yes and no. The original, older legacy Omnitracs system (the little dome bubble and standard keyboard display unit) that a few carriers are still using uses standard GPS for tracking, and which is accurate to standard consumer-level GPS of generally 0.90 to 1.20 meters. The new MCP...

Yes and no. With Qualcomm everybody gets the same level of accuracy. The photo below is from FleetVision where it shows my most recent location since the last positron update with the orange pushpin. The blue spot shows where I moved over a few feet so as to not be in front of the dumpsters. The...

I don't know. It used to be when I was there, with the old Qualcomms. But it's been more than 5 years. Maybe someone who knows will come in. I really appreciated the sat tracking and communications when I was out in rural Nevada where the closest cell tower was 150 miles away.

Not sure about Panther's website, but in FleetVision you can click you location, then the details, and bring up the Google Map, including the Terran overlay, that shows precisely where the system believes you to be. I've seen mine be as accurate as the parking spot in which I'm sitting.

The DOT will strongly disagree with you on that. In writing.

There are certainly several 3 and 4 pallet loads out there, but there's a reason that most expediting trucks can carry one or two pallets, or more than 4 pallets, and it's because most expedite loads are 1 or 2 pallets, or 5 or more. If you can haul 4 pallets you'll get a few 4 pallet loads...

I've been to several. I watch the show and then take note of the places in towns here I go. I also have a Custom Triple-D POI on the Garmin. They have an app, but it turns out it's a resource hog, running all the time, using the GPS and other things to run down the battery, so I deleted it. My...

If it's a dually then it's got a GVWR of 10,360 pounds. The upfitter who put the box on it may have officially derated the vehicle to 9953 by placing a modifier sticker next to the OEM sticker. With a curb weight of 6941 and a GVWR of 9953, that leaves only 3012 payload, and that's before...

Happy Birthday Bernie !

Yes. Seriously. But of course, it's much easier to net more money when you do it illegally. That's the main impetus behind most illegal ventures. Since you have openly admitted that you regularly and routinely engage in illegal activity as a business model, and have even expressed a desire to...

Woot! Please forward my thanks. :)

0700 deliver to McCormick Place. "No problem, a crew will be standing by to unload you." Just shoot me.

Not at all. One of the cornerstones of good long-term propaganda is to make the source trustworthy and believable. The easiest way to do that is to show the other side of an issue, especially when you can do it in such a way as to then dismiss it or discredit it. Fox News has proven itself to be...
