    Looking for info on Cobra and Rand Mcnally GPS's

    Yeah, once I see how you do it, I can then let you know if you can do the same things on a standalone. As for extraneous information, the ETA and miles are all there, but the extraneous information is mainly just a whole lot of map area that's meaningless, as you still have to focus in and zero...

    It should be noted that a K&N air filter is a really bad idea if you have a Sprinter. Or any turbo engine.

    Looking for info on Cobra and Rand Mcnally GPS's

    Creating customized routing on a Garmin (for example) is a little complicated, but it becomes easy and natural after you've done it a couple of times. Some units make it easier by having the "Routes/Multiple" feature. You simply insert waypoints, or stopoff points, to force it to calculate the...

    I've been there a couple of times. They never charged me to park. Oh, wait, I have a Cee Dee Elllll. Paid for the shower, though. The restaurant is pretty good. They've got great biscuits and gravy, and I think it was called an "18 Wheeler Burger" that was tasty.

    Stay away Inland Kenworth in Albuquerque, NM

    I'd love to know how the truck ended up 4½ gallons short on oil.

    I still have my c550 (which is the Bluetooth version of the c330) with the NAV Traffic. Works great. I think it'll be 7 years in July or August. I used to use my laptop, but realized that operating a laptop while driving is insane. They've pretty much quit doing software updates for the c550...

    "Adventures" in South Carolina

    Clearly, you should try a little harder to NOT respond to these posts, since you are unable to do so without calling someone a name and personally attacking them. Unless you're a cop or something, there's no reason for you to be offended, unless, of course, you are very easily offended. Be that...

    Nor will it make it true. His piece is a textbook case of the author offering his opinion passed off in a manner to appear truthful and authoritative. Journalism textbooks use the very examples he uses as a teaching tool to not do that. Any journalism teacher in high school or college will...

    NYC Cabbie's Vs EOBR's

    They nailed Landstar in a class action suit that proved Landstar violated federal truth-in-leasing regulations by making undocumented markups to items charged-back to driver compensation. That case held that motor carriers may not impose undisclosed or undocumented markups on products...

    I disagree. His ideas, which he stole from the Founding Fathers, will long outlive Dr. Paul.

    Panther Sale getting closer....

    Con-Way's expediting division was Con-Way NOW. It was sold to Panther. Contracts last as long as is stated in the contract. It can be any time frame. Some specify a year or longer (like 2 years with a cell phone carrier), some state 30 days with automatic renewal for another 30 days unless one...

    About That GNP thingie ....

    You can laugh all you want, but the burden of proof isn't on me, the reader, it's on him, the author. It's not a logical fallacy to refuse to accept something on face value as being true. It would, absolutely, be true that if he had sources and couldn't name them that he had a valid reason not...

    OWS ORGANIZER and HIS THOUGHTS o HOW IT SHOULD BE...

    I think it's interesting that people think Hannity did a good job. He did a particularly bad job, in my opinion, except it's about right in line with the rest of his interviewing skills, which is to say he's never met a sentence he couldn't interrupt. As usual, he rapid fired questions and...

    Seems like that one could have been successfully fought with a phone call. 45 of them, for sure.

    For Selmer, "traditional law enforcement" means Bufford Pusser.

    Play with the settings and displays. Click the "Arrival" time. There are at least two ways to have miles to destination displayed.

    Not to put a damper on things, but Doug's Blog post is meaningless. Preaching to the choir with a certain audience, perhaps, but it's nothing more than unsubstantiated wishes of opinion. These kinds of pieces really tick me off from a journalistic credibility viewpoint (not that I should be...

    I don't understand the "cash grab and filling ones ego" thing. Ron Paul doesn't have any kind of history of either, and both of those go against everything he stands for and everything he's done in his public life. Rhetoric, perhaps? Paul is out in front of a movement of ideas, and those ideas...
