Now I have made it clear how bad I want all in your POST I have confessed my weakness to you. Stop teasing me. Give me at least one of the two food items or tell...

    What an idiot

    Highway, What I was told was to buy it, take it to the truck and basically use it to trouble shoot my problem without touching the software. That is what I did. I understand their position some of my note was just funning. The whole thing was so stupid they simply made an idiot out of me. That...

    What an idiot

    Thanks! I spoke to JohnO on the phone this morning and he indicated that some folks had told him the blue light that illuminates from the locator at night is bothersom. I will mention here what I told him. It does light up a tiny bit and I use it at night all the time and because I place the...

    GPS unit info

    Let me start by saying the straight lengths need to be determined by each individual for your own truck. I screwed mine down to a raised area on the floor by the passenger seat so it works perfectly for me. You need to determine your own length requirements. As for padding you can put some foam...

    Here is what you do. Get yourself some threaded 1/2 inch gas pipe a few straight pieces, a few elbows and two base plates. Cut a piece of plywood, plexi glass, plastic whtever you like and attach one base to it with four little screws. Using the lengths and elbows create the right height and...

    As many of you know and some of you dont, I am back into one of my trucks. That is the case for many many many reasons. One of those reasons is I just like it. However in my current situation with that truck I have no signage all over the box which is wonderful but now I am in the mood for some...

    What an idiot

    I did in fact open the little folder than the disks are in. The instruction booklet is in that same folder and I knew that since I had bought it before. Just was not thinking. I hear you though. If I dont sell it in a day or two and I am not on the road, I will have about five cups of coffee and...

    Local traffic radio reports

    There is a list of radio stations in the front part of a truckers Atlas and usally any one of the Clear Channel stations can be picked up best in that city. XM is the best I have found but I stick to my guns and say use the CB as it is real time. Most radio reports are not real time as a big...

    starting in this business

    I know very little about vans. I used to have two here in town doing local but that is now run by my daughter and her husband. My thoughts based on your data are as follows: BAD DEAL! I would look elsewhere or as DaveKC said get your own. As for engine,I agree as someone stated earlier do not...

    Hey Oldone, :) just kidding. I read your post after I just posted about my GPS. Do you Have a LapTop? If you do the stuff I have will be great for you. It points in the direction you are going and everything. It rotates as your trucks rotates it does it all. It is wonderful to have. If you put...

    Good and Bad in this business

    After seeing the locked thread I thought I would jump in here to try and give my picture of Expediting. To begin with I think the test that LDB and others refer to is exactly what you should try as a married couple looking into this business. Living in a truck is for very few people. If it...

    Driver ID

    After a number of days of pondering this and a horrible ride into Chicago, where I came close to needing ID, I came up with my own little system. I placed a card in my wallet with all the needed info on it and then reduced that down and laminated it and put it on the key chain in my ignition...

He has a great business head and has learned a lot over the last year. I very much urge you to send him an email or personal note and talk with him. It will...

    Is it possible for you to turn it on in traffic ja

    I have brought this up before without success but do wish to run it up the pole one more time. I know many folks do not have the CB on due to what it has become and I do understand. I would like to say it would be helpful in heavy traffic for folks to have these on as many times traffic is...
