Despite my problems with Teletype, I would never criticize their tech support. They responded immediately to all my problems; usually just a software upgrade at no charge. I think you have a bad unit and they should replace it. **** happens.

I only use it for navigation. I have never used anything else included. Waste of resources. I first bought this GPS for $500 at the GATS in Dallas after hearing about it from Kevin Rutherford. After I bought it, he came back on the radio and said he was sorry he had recommended it before...

I purchased my first WorldNav in Aug 08. I used it in a straight truck and t/t. My last upgrade of software was a disaster. It could no longer find truck stops in Texas, said there weren't any. Cause me all sorts of problems. It locked up on me several times requiring me to call customer...

Wow, Bob. You've known me almost 5 years and you decide today to attack me on EO? That was a bit unexpected. An email or a phone call would have been more tactful if you really think I'm that crazy. When did you get to judge me? Did you not read the post where I said I would never own...

I was really impressed with the Polar Bears in "The Golden Compass". Who knew they had armor that made them strong. I never knew that. And, they talk!!! Gosh golly. I was equally impressed they drink about as much as I do. Whoodabellevedit!!! I gotta get me one.

My explanation on sleeping. If I am so loaded that all I have is the front seat, my goal is to arrive at the consignee as soon as possible to attempt to be unloaded. If I were filled up and had to wait several days to deliver, it becomes "motel time". I'm so lucky as I live in Arlington...

Thanks, Xiggi. It's not non stop driving. There are occasions when it seems like there is no time for rest. But good route planning will always allow some rest time.

You're darn right it is expensive. $1749 with installation. But, worth every penny. I had to make a commitment to myself that I would stay in the van before I bought the unit. I wasn't sure when I first started in March, as I had always been a straight truck or T/T driver. But, I learned...

WHAT A BIG BOLD LIE!!!! If it is your van, of course you pay for maintenance. If you can't afford it, don't be an owner operator. If it is a Blair Sprinter (company driver), you will NEVER pay for anything except fuel, tolls, DEF and rental of the GPS Tracking unit. No lease cost. No...

Unlike other companies, every truck is re-loaded based on first in - first out after unloading. There is no "First Out" line jumping. O/O's are treated exactly like company drivers. Remember this, though. Our Sprinters hold 4 pallets (8 double stacked). If you are an O/O with a van that...

Several years ago while driving a straight truck I would get over 5,000 miles in a week. I was the master of creative log books. I no longer do that. It's unsafe and I am contrite. Blair only does teams in straight trucks now because they too understand the danger and illegality of running...

Thank you all for being concerned about our safety. That is very nice of you. Regarding fees. I may have mislead you. At Blair, when you first start, they will give you an advance of half your pay when you pick up your load "free" for the first 4 weeks. The only cost is $1.00 to put it on...

No kidding, Dave. I never learn. Anytime I defend my source of income, I hear about how we just drive too much and none of us make money. Geesh. If that were true, how come I always come back when I need money? Doing the same thing again and again expecting a different outcome is a sure...

OMG!!!! I'm sorry I ever answered the post. Stop with the dangerous drivers. Our drivers have an excellent safety record. We may not have sleepers, but we have room to sleep when we are shut down. My goodness. I have an Espar, a cot, blankets, a rug for my feet and plenty of food and...

You'll hear a lot of good and bad things about A. Blair. I started with them in March, 2004. I've left and returned several times. I've driven for other expedite companies and I've driven T/T for big carriers. Now I'm driving a Sprinter for them and suspect I will never leave until it's...

Tell Jeff I miss our phone talks. I really enjoyed getting calls from him. More surprised that he cared about my opinion!!!! He'll be missed. God bless!

Laredo with thousands (exaggeration) of straight trucks. Been here since Friday, 1/14/11. But my aux batteries are charging.

Yes. Yes you do.

For those of you who didn't see my posts about the trouble I had charging my aux batteries, I just wanted to share how everybody who responded to my post helped me. Espar of Michigan, one of my favorite companies to do business with, who sold me my isolator and 150 amp breaker, was very...

Turtle, I was told that once you saw my post you would have the answers. Although I got it fixed before I got your post, you were right on target. It was the isolator not being grounded. And I had the voltmeter set up incorrectly. The Best Buy guy fixed it for me and showed me how to use it...
