    New cell carrier recommendation?

    Yeah, I've had the 4.01 on the computer for a while, and the last app update was a couple of weeks ago. I think if your phone has Jelly Bean (4.1) then the WiFi mode of PDANet won't work, and you'll have to use tethered USB mode, but my phone is 4.0.4 so I'm not sure. I only use it with a USB...

    I'm using PDANet right now. What update? Verizon, Android, PDANet?

    March Locations and Nonsense...HAHA

    I ran over to Walmart, since that's where the script is. Doesn't take as long to transfer it that way. They had it transferred and filled in less than 20 minutes.

    Hey, I'm on the way other end of the yard, where it's quiet. Or I was. Now I gotta go get a prescription filled.

    Truck Owners how they feel that they can do just anything to you

    http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/58076-fleet-owner-trying-keep-escrow.html Interestingly, the same odd phrasing of "two notice" is used in both threads to mean "two weeks notice."

    Customer service @ most truck stop restaurants...

    Wow. It's almost like you're never been out in the real world. "What can I get'ch y'all" is a common one down south. The northern equivalent is, "What can I get you guys?" In New York and parts of New Jersey, rather than "you guys" or "Y'all" it's a plural you, as in youse or you's. I think...

    Customer service @ most truck stop restaurants...

    I wasn't talking to you specifically, I was talking generalities. If your actions towards others don't precipitate equal and positive reactions from others, then don't consider or apply any of the generalities I mentioned. I do know that when a majority of people get good customer service...

    Customer service @ most truck stop restaurants...

    Yep. There are a certain percentage of restaurant goers who never tip, under any circumstances. Waitresses just love that <snort> ("he stiffed me!"), but they also know it's part of the territory. If you don't leave a tip at all, the waitress classifies you as "part of the territory." If you...

    Customer service @ most truck stop restaurants...

    I've found that I rarely get bad service at a truck stop. And over the years I've found that, generally speaking, I get the same respect from others that I give out to them. If you routinely get bad service and don't get the respect you think you deserve, well, there ya go. You might want to...

    Why is it?

    My driver side wiper has always been "wonky" as well. Streaks, uneven wiping, even missed some spots. Tried every wiper blade there is, nothing worked. A few weeks ago the arm broke near the base. Just snapped off one day. I replaced it the next day, and reused the same blade, and ever since...

    Hypocrite?

    It should be just as easy to buy and sell a gun as it is to buy and sell a fork. And what you want to do with that fork shouldn't matter to the seller.

    Hypocrite?

    The question is, which one is the bigger hypocrite, the buyer or the seller? <wink, wink, nudge, nudge>

    Question for Musician Expediters

    I've got two degrees in music, and never once have I considered viewing logs as music, or musical notation. :D Incidentally, to transpose is to change the relative position, order, or sequence of something. In music it is playing the notes in a different key. To convert driver logs into musical...

    Getting Started. Advice Please. Out of Las Vegas, NV

    The first thing you need to do is figure out the differences between a Class B and a Class C license, and see which types of vehicles requires which type of license. You can find that information in the Driver's License Handbook of your state.

    You're in a 3-skid Sprinter sitting in Petoskey, MI after delivering a load. You're hoping to get loaded out of there. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, an entire army of dispatchers is huddled around computer screens and burning up the phone lines, all in a dedicated effort to find you a load...
