I have a Garmin 250W and love it. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the newer ones but the maps are the same. I heard the newer ones have lane assist which would be really nice in the larger cities. I would think between the Garmin and the Road Carrier atlas you would be set in my...

The lease would not be thru the company I'd be leasing from Penske, Ryder or Idealease or whatever companies lease trucks. Personally I think leasing a car is a ripoff but the idea of all maintenance and breakdowns being coverd on a truck sounds appealling as big trucks can cost big money to...

Why not wait six months and call her again. From what i hear it's a bad time to jump into this business and it may pickup by summer. Six months really isn't that long Jan-Mar is always slow

The problem with a voluntary repo is that they will auction the truck off at way below wholesale and then you end up owing the difference, plus a voluntary repo is just as bad as a regular repo on your credit. A short sale is the best if the finance company will go for it, or try to get a...

My truck at work has a Waltco lift. It works well and is aluminum so it is light weight. Plus it is huge. It folds in half. We move pallets of paper with it. It is nearly flat to the ground unlike the smaller steel gates that have the lip. It folds under the truck and we are able to back...

Like I said, I backup from one hard drive to the other one. This covers me unless my laptop gets damaged, an external hard drive would also work if you keep it in a safe place. Carbonite just gives you added security. Nothing in this world is 100% safe. Right now the important stuff i.e...
