    trucker gps usage

    I used to sell GPS units, mainly for marine use. Many could handle *chips* that had navigation charts on them. I sold what was at that time a top of the line unit to a guy with a 45ft boat. He had it installed professionllly. All was right and good with the world, or so I thougt. I had told him...

    GEN/APU's

    I make sure that I run treated fuel through the APU and Reefer units from time to time. I always use winter blend treatment from mid-Sept thru mid-May. Sometimes longer if needed. Running that treated fuel through the other engines keeps the lines and filters from gelling up. I have not yet had...

    Expedite Solutions

    My wife and I got our own licences and signed on with an owner. We were lucky to find an honest one who helped us learn this business and put up with our rookie mistakes. We remain friends with them even though we now own our own truck. We still get advice from them and even pass on things that...

    Next Terrorist Attack

    The presidents job IS forgien policy and Comander in Chief, NOT, internal affairs. That is mainly the job of the Congress. And as for the INTELL CRAP, you sorry so and so, you would most likely be dead, goose stepping, using chop sticks or be locked up in a Goolog if it were not for us...

    Big Sleepers and 34 Hour Restarts

    I can't wait to hear more on this one. We almost always stay in the sleeper. It cuts down alot on the motel bills. I have never heard that it was not allowed.

    Next Terrorist Attack

    The president in onlyh part of it. The congress funds the military and intell services. They have NOT been honest with the American people for the last 30 years that I know of. They have been under funding for at least that long. DO NOT TRUST WHAT THEY SAY!!!! They do not take your best interest...

    going solo ???

    Who are you leased with? Overall I think teams will always do better than solo's, at least in my opinion. They seldom have logging problems. We are a White Glove team. Miles per week means little to us. What counts is how much do we make. We often make more on shorter loads depending on what...

    Next Terrorist Attack

    We WILL be attacked again, when, who knows? I spent 20 years in the intell business. 3 years in the Army Security Agency(now disbanded) and 17 with the National Security Agency. We would stand a much better chance of stopping these things if we were ever to take our intell needs seriouslly. I...

    Your average load

    We have been running for almost 3 years, most of it White Glove. Our loads have varied in weight from an 11 ounces to 16,000lbs. 85% of our loads are between 400-6000lbs. We are a reefer truck. So far it has paid for itself, we shall see over the long term. A liftgate is almost a must if you are...

    Liftgate question.

    We would not be without a lift-gate. Right now we are White Glove but would have one even if we were not. It really keeps us working. Gets us both White Glove and Express loads. It is something else. The more things your truck can do the more you work. Will always have a pallet jack too. That...

    firewalls etc

    My laptop runs very slow. One reason is Norton Internet Security. There are better virus progams that are free but they do not have firewalls. Is there a really good software firewall other than the Norton/Mcaffe? What about routers? Is there a hardware solution to the problem? Like a...

    California's at it again

    You got it Greg, and in Nov they will all run in and pull the "D" or "R" lever without having any idea why. They will want socialized health care, socialized retirement, socialized housing and who knows what else. And only the rich will pay taxes. Then when everything costs twice what it does...
