And it leads to the fact that we are not commercial motor vehicle because they are illegal if we were....

Far as I know, the only places radar detectors are illegal for all vehicles is Virginia and Ontario. There are others, I'm sure.
I don't have one. I used to, many years ago, but I got more speeding tickets with it than I ever did without it.
Incidentally, way back in the early 90s, it was an OPP officer who introduced me to the "radar detector detector." He didn't give me a ticket, though. He took pity on just another dumb American.

Going off subject as many of our threads do......
How does everyone like the changes to automate navigation and some of the notes changes to workflow that people had wanted?
The pro number was moved to a line of its own....
Right just haven't noticed any more numbers than usual but I might not have had loads with any extra.

Haven't really noticed any changes in Workflow, other then the Pro#, the Nav has tried to send me down restricted streets, but it works pretty well.

I love the changes, thank you! The navigation works awesome.
Make sure you contact Matt so you can make sure your nav is set for truck routing and not cars. It should not do that.
That unit is set for truck routing. I set it up myself. The program will route you on a truck restricted road occasionally. I always sent the name of the road and city into Qualcomm so they could add it to the next update. There is a screen in the program to do that.

I have some nav questions, which will have to wait, as I may be having to take off any minute but I wanted to say that my GPS sits in a beanbag on the dash, and when not in use it's covered by a cap that says ATF. Seems to discourage the bad guys, so far, lol. Got a load, on my way!

system on the van.Since this has happened, I am really considering an alarm system on the van. It's the attention that is drawn to the vehicle that scares them away. Right now, I have a "Beware of Dog" sticker by each door. The main reason for that was because too many shippers were trying to load my van when I wasn't present. It has worked well. But it may be a good thing to scare off thieves as well.

I wouldn't put it past anyone. Ya never know.
You never know LOL
My question on the navigation feature is how a solo driver can use it while driving? I can't, so I haven't really used it at all.
Workflow is pretty good - except we really, really, really need the zip codes on the addresses - really! Today I was presented with 3 possible locations when the GPS didn't find the address in the city specified, and I chose the one with the mileage closest to what Dispatch had said the DH would be, and it was the wrong one.
Many major streets are long enough to have the same numerical address recur in several communities, and we all know how often the actual location isn't exactly in the city listed - zip codes are critical to choosing among the possible locations.
It's kind of hard to believe the programmers just left it off, IMO.

A solo can't do anything with the QC Nav while you're moving. In fact, nothing on the QC will work while in motion.
As for the zip codes, if I didn't have one, or the gps didn't come up with an address or it had multiple streets, I'd google the company name and city. It always comes up. Usually, the street name is misspelled on Workflow when an address isn't found by the gps.

I realize it is a safety issue, but I also feel it is the same amount of distraction hitting the buttons to get the female martian voice to start talking as it would be to just glance at the screen and see what it is about. How many times do we glance at our phones while driving? Reading a text? The distractions can be endless, in many ways.
