    We rarely use ours we will turn it on if we think there may be traffic problems or problems with the road. It helped us one time when the interstate was closed due to snow and we did not know that. It does help let you know which lane you need for road construction or accidents. Other than...

    Gps units

    We first had a Garmin and now we have a Tom Tom. They both work well but I did like the Garmin better because it listed more of the POIs. We bought the Tom Tom because it came with CA. maps for the Garmin you had to buy it then pay extra to download the maps from there web sight.

    Expediter Services

    We have been with Expediter Services for 1 year and the only regret I have is that we did not find them sooner They have good trucks and we have never had a problem get the truck repaired, our money on time, or questions answered.

    From what I have seen I could not agree with you more. It makes you feel better when you work with professionals and are treated like one.
