noob4u, my calculations from the spread sheet... fuel exp. $3770 @3.95 per gal. 954 gallons. mthly avg miles 9639 divided by 954 gallons 10 Just want to make sure I didn't miss something.

Nobb4u, or anyone else that can help me with the fuel numbers. Per the spread sheet I'm coming up with about 10 mpg. Am I miscalculating? That seems exceptional since the refrigeration unit is running of the mains.

If a fleet owner had 5 trucks that were geared properly for maximum mpg's, reliability, and comfort, wouldn't the toughest part be retaining 5 teams?

Some of the problems with this are, we are going to pay for the monitoring equipment, and emission upgrades. I also wonder how many stops will be made on the way back to Mexico. Diesel is about a 1.00 cheaper there as well. Hard to compete with that.

Could you explain why you see this as a positive? I'm not being facetious, just want to understand why you like it.

Well, Is there another way that o/o's and fleet driver's can measure how well they are competing for the available miles out here?

Saw a news report on drudge...missing nuclear rods for medical use, shipment from North Dakota to TN. Anybody we know?

Looks like I will be enjoying THanksgiving here in El Paso. It's a beautiful day. Gonna try and catch some football somewhere, or take a guided tour of Juarez for free with this guy with an AK-47.

I'm using the HTC evo...Sprint network, and am able to read and post to EO. Actually this device is doing all my navigation, emails, web browsing, and phone calls. Hope this device holds up, cause I really like it.

Jjoerger, I'm using the small antenna that came with the avermedia and at the pilot in mount sterling, ky....picked up about 15 channels..including, fox,nbc, and cbs. I agree with Greg about a better antenna, some areas will be challenging to pickup a signal. The picture is quality is excellent.

The little gadget thats been helping me out here is the avermedia usb tv card. Turns my laptop into a tv with high def picture. Sure helps on watching football games.

Sitting at the T/A off 40 near Greensboro, NC. Cheri, drink lots of fluids, super hot in Orlando.

Thks for the input...I was a couple of clicks away from buying the app...glad I asked. Regardless, I really like this android phone, now where's that beer app.;)

Thanks for your responses. Turtle, my understanding was that copilot maps were stored on the sd card and would not need to have a 3, or 4g connection to work. Regardless, as ebsprintin says multitasking the phone that way may be too much. Preciate the welcome ebsprintin.

Hi folks...My first post on the forum...been researching this site for a few months. I'm jumping in on this thread because I'm about to get rolling and have just picked up the htc evo. My question is with copilot live 8 for navigation would you use your phone instead of a stand alone gps unit?
