    mapping software???

    I drive a semi, and I just love, ALK's "Co-Pilot Truck". Like the ealier post said, it keeps you on the main roads. It will keep you off the toll roads, if that's what you choose, but I've found, on the east coast anyways, I rather pay for the tolls then take the back roads, but thats just me...

    Are your miles close to "their" miles?

    Hello, I drive for Tri-State, and have a GPS, running in the truck. Most of my load offers, are within 5 miles or so, of what my program says it figures. So I think my company is being pretty fair about mileage. Dan

    Looking for O/O 's who have lap tops in their cabs

    RE: Looking for O/O 's who have lap tops in their Hello, Yes, I run a laptop in my cab. I'd be totally lost without one. I run my gps program, "ALK Co-pilot Truck", on it. This program was made for a big truck, so it keeps you on the main roads. I'm not saying it's flawless, but it's right...

    mapping software???

    I recently bought, "Co-pilot Truck", it was a little expensive @ 450, but if you can swing it, it takes you where you wanna go.
