    TV Best satellite dish

    Hello all. I am looking for advice on getting a satellite dish for our 2014 cascadia. We are tired of the quality of digital air channels and it's poor picture quality. What type of dish is regarded as best for truck drivers? Can they work while the truck is in motion? What type of cost are...

    GPS Rand McNally GPS

    I have the 720 and there has been a few times I wanted to chuck it out the window. Reroutes me a totally different way midway through a trip and has me go strait through a major city instead of using the bypassing loops during rush hour or adds two hundred miles to a run no matter what route...

    Replacement cord for 12 volt cooler

    My 26qt koolatron electric cord is DOA and I'm having a time trying to find a replacement for it. I'm sure someone has run into this issue before. I have found replacement cords but they only seem to be for a different brand. I even went to koolatron's website but didn't seem to find any...

    Channel 19

    Complete waste of time. Most shippers/receivers will call your cell phone now and as far as traffic is concerned most map apps have traffic updates on them. I have a CB and most of the time it stays off unless I'm tired and need a good laugh hearing all the dumb**** who talk on there...

    Experience??????

    Some places will match two drivers up to a truck but you are rolling the dice there. Those type of situations have mixed results. Husband/wife or same household teams tend to be the most successful. "If the rule you followed brought you to this, then of what use was the rule?"

    Runs to Alaska

    Haven't found too much info on this subject so far but figured it can't hurt to ask on here. I have heard that expedite carriers do run up to Alaska at times and being that I am from there originally that peaked my interest. We have since moved and now reside in the lower 48 but the thought of...

    Phones Best mobile broadband for expediters

    So far the only thing I found that comes close is Sprint having unlimited data but that only applies for your phone. If you wanna share your phone data with say your laptop they put you on a tiered data plan. Much like ATT. "If the rule you followed brought you to this, then of what use was...

    Phones Best mobile broadband for expediters

    As stated in the title I am looking for a provider that offers mobile broadband best suited to a lifestyle on the road. We have service through ATT with a 10gb share plan for our phones and laptop but we constantly go over the limit. We are internet junkies lol. Anybody know of any plans that...

    2013: What place did you visit this year that was amazing?

    We delivered a load near Burlington, VT in the fall and were fortunate to visit my uncle over the weekend who has a farm. One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and I grew up in Alaska. The fall colors there were spectacular and I experienced Maine lobster for the first time. I may...

    Straight truck driver to sprinter van.

    Hello fellow expediters, I am currently with Fedex Custom Critical running team with my wife and in the near future she will be getting off the truck for good. She has had her fill of it I guess. I have been weighing my options as this changes my job prospects. We drive for an owner and...
