    DOT Qualcomm

    Yes and no. With Qualcomm everybody gets the same level of accuracy. The photo below is from FleetVision where it shows my most recent location since the last positron update with the orange pushpin. The blue spot shows where I moved over a few feet so as to not be in front of the dumpsters. The...

    DOT Qualcomm

    I don't know. It used to be when I was there, with the old Qualcomms. But it's been more than 5 years. Maybe someone who knows will come in. I really appreciated the sat tracking and communications when I was out in rural Nevada where the closest cell tower was 150 miles away.

    DOT Qualcomm

    Not sure about Panther's website, but in FleetVision you can click you location, then the details, and bring up the Google Map, including the Terran overlay, that shows precisely where the system believes you to be. I've seen mine be as accurate as the parking spot in which I'm sitting.

    Will such set up attract attention of DOT?

    The DOT will strongly disagree with you on that. In writing.

    Buying sprinter vs 10-14k GVWR box truck?

    There are certainly several 3 and 4 pallet loads out there, but there's a reason that most expediting trucks can carry one or two pallets, or more than 4 pallets, and it's because most expedite loads are 1 or 2 pallets, or 5 or more. If you can haul 4 pallets you'll get a few 4 pallet loads...

    Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

    I've been to several. I watch the show and then take note of the places in towns here I go. I also have a Custom Triple-D POI on the Garmin. They have an app, but it turns out it's a resource hog, running all the time, using the GPS and other things to run down the battery, so I deleted it. My...

    Buying sprinter vs 10-14k GVWR box truck?

    If it's a dually then it's got a GVWR of 10,360 pounds. The upfitter who put the box on it may have officially derated the vehicle to 9953 by placing a modifier sticker next to the OEM sticker. With a curb weight of 6941 and a GVWR of 9953, that leaves only 3012 payload, and that's before...

    Will such set up attract attention of DOT?

    Yes. Seriously. But of course, it's much easier to net more money when you do it illegally. That's the main impetus behind most illegal ventures. Since you have openly admitted that you regularly and routinely engage in illegal activity as a business model, and have even expressed a desire to...

    The Trump Card...

    Not at all. One of the cornerstones of good long-term propaganda is to make the source trustworthy and believable. The easiest way to do that is to show the other side of an issue, especially when you can do it in such a way as to then dismiss it or discredit it. Fox News has proven itself to be...

    A LOT of Truckers may fall in these early recommendations for a Sleep Apnea Test

    Maybe I haven't made myself clear. I have nothing against CPAP machines and other treatments for OSA. What I am against is the FMCSA's medical review board bullying millions of captive truckers into a program where the doctors themselves have a vested financial interest in seeing as many...
