I finally bought a B250-xt. I also have an iPhone 4. It works good for my phone calls but it doesn't ring for my text messages or ding for my emails. Is there any way I can make those ring in the headset? Thanks

I need a truck GPS, I've been using google maps and I didn't notice I went on a non truck route and got a ticket. The Garmin Del 760 look good but $399 is out of my price range. I work local in Houston, Tx so I don't need all the fuel tracking bells and whistles. Also, can I buy a chip...

I don't think I'm nearly experienced enough to think about purchasing a ST yet. But what types of things should I try to learn / keep track of in the meantime to consider purchasing one in the future? I was comfortable with purchasing a Sprinter / CV because I understand them and they aren't...

I did a run today from Indy to Oak Creek, Wi (Milwaukee) and back. pu in Inday at 9am, drove through Chicago around 1, took the skyway and traffic was smooth sailing. But on my way back, it was 4 O'clock. What is my best bet to get through Chicago at that hour? I normally use google...

soapbox posters that you'd love to sit around and get drunk with to listen to their rants. I'll go first me myself and I. I'm just kidding, I'll go after you.

Well my Sprinter has been having some problems, so I got a call today from the office and was asked if I had my chauffer's licence. Once I told them I had it, they said if you had your DOT physical, we'll run you in other vehicles. I told them I got it last year when I did my CDL course. So...

Three times a day (15 times a week) Once a day (7 times a week) Five times a week Lets classify getting a coffee & bagel or donut for breakfast as eating out. I'm just curious as to how often you eat out compared to how often you make your own meals. I find that I need to eat...

I've decided that I'm ready to make the jump into ownership. I'm going to buy a cargo van, maybe even two. However, I've also decided I am not going to quit my driving job, I am going to hire someone to drive my van. The reasons are two fold, I don't want to give up the sprinter and it...

Usually once a month on a Saturday afternoon, when I go to my local walmart, there has been a Vet or current soldier (not sure of his status) collecting donations to make care packages to soldiers serving overseas. I usually give a small donation. But today, I went to my local grocery store...

Just curious what everyone's preference is and wht? From reading the locations thread it seems like Pilot/ Flying J is the most popular. I go to Pilot's mostly because out of convenience, I have a smaller fuel tank and it takes me 15 minutes on average to fuel up, so I try to maximize the #...

Reading the noob forum got me curious. How many of you would ever sign up as a driver with a fleet owner that you don't know and agree to a 60/40 split with you paying for fuel and getting the fuel surcharge. For me, that sounds way too risky. The money I have saved up, I wouldn't want to...

I bought a rice cooker but my inverter isn't strong enough to power it. I need to buy a new inverter but I'm not ready to spend on a 3000W inverter so I'm going to go as cheap as possible. My rice cooker says 120V~60Hz 350W Does the 350W mean that I can get away with buying a 400 watt...

I've found a used Sprinter that has only 100k miles on it. Its also the extended version. Finding used sprinters with low mileage is pretty hard. The kicker is it has black paint. Will that be a big problem in terms of keeping it cool in the summer? I don't know much about insulation...

I got my first pay check today. I need to invest in some safety equipment. I need to get a blue tooth headset for my phone. Dispatch can never hear me, my phone sucks, I can barely hear them. But more importantly, I need my hands free while I'm driving. Anyone got any good...

I've done some searches on mpg and what people are getting but I didn't come across anything comparing the cost per mile of gas vs diesel. I'm currently driving a company sprinter. I've been keeping track of mpg and how much I've been paying for fuel. Last week, I drove 1772 miles. Fuel...

Hi there everyone, new to the forum, so glad I found this place. I'm working for a local company that does National Expediting, hot shot service in a major hub. They have TT, straight trucks, cube vans and cargo vans. They have about 50 drivers and I'm not sure what the mix is. They are...
