Yes I have had the problem. I have a Tech Whiz friend and he did some things that helped this problem. I have no idea what he did so I suggest you call ALK. They are great and will help you. I do recommend if you are not a tech whiz, go get Microsoft Streets and Maps. IT is too easy and works...

The advice that BroomPilot just gave above is right on the mark. I too have managed people all my life. Never did I deal with anything like I have in this business. My record is one in seven drivers are good and trust worthy. Bad odds. Broompilot said it better than I have ever heard it said...

BP, you are so right it is not even funny. I have a freind who was stolen. There identity that is. It has been 6 years and things are still screwed up for her. I do not recommend this for anyone else but it has worked for me. Have four kids at age sixteen be a great dad from there on always...

I use a Dell Inspiron with all the crap that you get on there and Microsoft Streets and Trips and ALK's CoPilot Truck. If you have never used a GPS before this CoPilot Truck may be useful to you. www.ALK.com. I dont like it but I have it. never had a problem in the truck with my Dell and I throw...

Let me just say that one day after Thanksgiving in 2001 I was rushed to the hospital and was told Goodbye. That is the short version. The bottom line is that foot and ankle swell was one of the symptoms. LDB is right that too much salt/sodium is one issue. Many other things can cause this as...

Ok, after a week of using CoPilot truck along side my Microsoft Streets and Trips, here is my feeling. Please keep in mind both of these are miles ahead of being lost. I ran 2429 miles using both systems. I ran Oh,Ky,In,Il and Tn. In Kentucky I actually was lost in Louisville, downtown at 4:00...

Well, I am not sure you need two fortunes to start with but you damn sure need ONE. I still think you can make good money doing this but as I said above, you must find people you can trust. I just had a driver return my truck in worse condition than any rental car and I have never been in a...

Well let the Raceman sayeth I don't ever want another winter like this past winter. Man o Man did that flat out hurt. If you take my bad luck out of the the situation and you get rid of all the what ifs, I would of had what I consider a good solid year. You are close enough for horseshoes with...

Oh my God! There is not room for my response on this topic.I will say one thing. You must have a nice chunk of change and then good luck learning how to find good drivers. Raceman OTR O/O

Good luck! Don't stop asking questions just because you are starting. I am sure you will do fine. Learn from the ownwer and most of all. Please take care of that persons equipment. Do unto to others as you would have others do unto you. Best of Luck Raceman OTR O/O

Dreamer, Very good move getting that info removed. This is one of the nicest things I have ever seen on here. If it is really heartfelt YoYo is to be commended. In todays world this is easily of concern for the person offering and or the person accepting. It is a real shame that we have come to...

I used CoPilot all day yesterday. I had three picks in Cincinnati and then had to drop in two locations in Sidney, one in Findlay, and then pick up in Toledo and drop that in Grove City, OHIO. Used it for all. It works. It is just slow. I am on or past whatever I need before I can see or hear...

I hear what you are saying. I used to run for TS and know what can go on there. I am in a little different situation now than I was when running with TS or E1. My loads are still expedite but I run out of a home base. I go hard one way then come back at a decent pace. I can come back empty if I...

R2R, Thanks. I did that and changed a few things. I will be working with it this week. I do like how well it shows up at night. It is great in that respect. Does that other guy ever say anything other than "Man you like to Whine" ?Seems that everytime you and I share a few notes he jumps in...

I am one that says something to everyone and I can say it is very hard. It seems this business has no in between. Folks are either great or nasty. I alway yell at folks on the CB but this business also has many folks that just don't have it on. I do understand why but it would great if they did...

I hear you I guess I am being a bit rough on CoPilot. I just think that after using Microsoft Streets and trips for a number of months, this seems almost hard to use. MS&T is so simple. I read the directions take off and look down at my position when I need to and I can see right where I am and...

I will give it a chance out in the truck next week but so far I like the MicroSoft Streets and Trips much better. It shows you on the screen as you move a long and it also has written directions. Never got me lost once. CoPilot got me lost in my home town on first test. :) Oh well I will see...

To the best of my knowledge, the hole he drilled in the roof is for his coax for CB. Just Stupid. Downright Stupid. As for Truck CoPilot. LDB, it took me one ride around town in my personal vehicle to decide it is not very good. I decided in a 15 minute trip around town that I was much happier...

It is just killing me not to really go into this subject and how short runs are actually better than long runs but I will just be beat to a pulp by those who think it is slow. It has just about been covered by those above me. I will say this. As a driver I turn down nothing. And now I will say...

I got home last night from my run and there on the porch was my CoPilot Truck GPS. Man I am like a kid with a new Big Wheel. I can not wait to use it in the truck. I installed it this morning but without a signal here in the house have not done much with it yet. It is very cool though. I will...
