    weather band radio

    Thanks Ragman I think I am looking for a radio with s.a.m.e. tech, the only thing I have found so far, is a radio that the owner has to know the NOA county code for the area they are in and program the code in. If traveling this might prove difficult. jimmy

    How many HATE this?

    Thanks tknight. Yes that is a problem, quite frequently, I was also told that the brokers do not want the carrier driver, who is picking up load contacting the shipper. I was thinking possibly internet search once you had the name of the shipper/reciever for contact info. jimmy

    How many HATE this?

    Just a question. After recieving load info. from dispatch, do you the driver ever call the shipper/reciever office for directions ? What little experience with GPS, I have had is that the GPS will get you in the ballpark and still leave the driver hunting for the correct location.:confused:
