    unusual things a gps says to you

    I'd like to get a newer one, if just for the free map updates. lane assist is very important, all other features not so much. Mine tried to get me cross a street that had a pretty substantial island in the center in Chicago last night, plus the occassional turn down a one way the wrong way...

    Banned Member Reaches A New Low....

    Okay, I was fooled too. :confused: Here's a suggestion. When a new member signs on have a moderator or EO check out their post before it is posted. Once a person has 5,10,20 posts under their belt then their screenname would be unlocked and their posts will post instantly. This would keep...

    OVM, that is the problem with the carriers. They don't realize or care what our costs are when sitting, they just want a truck in every town to service their customers. It doesn't cost them to put on more trucks and then they have better service for the customers. If the carriers had...

    Class 8 Straight Truck or Smaller?

    I drive a class 6 Hino and can tell you the ride is terrible. My truck is leaf spring front and back. I am not sure on 7 and 8 trucks but don't most have air ride cabs and air ride rear suspension? My next truck will definately have air ride rear suspension:)

    30 to 40 grand is acheiveable if you run the wheels off your truck. If that is what you want and need you probably need to look at driving a semi for a company and not expediting, sad but true.

    Why are general questions asked in carrier forums ?

    Regarding Prepass. Is there a place you can buy one? Other than online so I don't have to scan all the documents etc? I don't have a scanner, so scanning documents would be kinda hard :rolleyes: Also, some of the question on the online app. Like what type of carrier, am I considered a...

    What kind of Cb

    I haven't quite figured out the range of my CB, but I do know it works well for what I use it for. Plenty of road/accident alerts and help at certain deliveries. I've been quite happy with my Uniden 510 Pro XL Plus it was cheap, the antenna nearly cost more then the CB LOL
