We found with our current GPS we spent too much time arguing with "her" so we do not use sound just have the screen. How is the screen on this new system? Is it easy to read the street names?

From what I understand if FCC decided to clean house again many things are taken into consideration which could include refusals. I would imagine refusing all loads to Canada could be considered, refuse all short loads, late pickup and deliveries, and accidents. I would also think if there had...

The C-Link message and phone message are sent out at the same time and this is invisible to the dispatcher or system sending out the load opp. The C-Link is just slow in certain areas as well as our phones not getting a good signal in certain areas. I am not sure what the ideal situation is...

jansiemoo After meeting you guys all of the above makes perfect sense to me. Actually I can see how all of this played out and I have to admit I got a chuckle out of it. Hope to see you guys at the Expo

Looking forward to hearing more details of how this system works for you. Is this your first GPS? You only received a small leaflet it will be interesting to know how easy a new person to GPS will be able to get around this system. Everything I have read about the Nuvi 465T seems as if...

There are a few people testing this GPS on cdlofit.com also. So far all reports are sounding pretty good.

Ashville would be an awesome place to live and would work for freight but Flagstaff I think might be a little tougher. We thought that living in Saint Louis would be great for getting home and getting out. While we normally get out of Saint Louis very easy we sometimes have a hard time...

Leo when you receive this text message would you need to call in to accept or decline the load? I think the message would need to include additional stops and I like the idea that there could be a couple of short notes included. Great idea and I would like to see this done on all loads for...

Very fun to read! Great job.

Look and see what you have in the area for a Detroit Diesel shop.

Phil I think I mentioned how it would benefit us in my post. I like to know what our refusals are and why as I can see if we are creating a trend of the loads we refuse beside just low pay. It is information for our own use as I like to know if the long dead head to pickup is often the cause...

Name: Bob Linda Caffee Carrier: FedEx Custom Critical Unit Size: D Straight Truck 1. Be prepared before the recession with no debt 2. Watch your spending on luxury items 3. Check and recheck your numbers and figure out how low can you go per mile to stay profitable

I keep thinking about how this would benefit us. If we were able to get an email message on every load opp that was sent to the truck we would then be able to keep a record of our refusals. Since we can no longer keep track of our refusals on the FCC extra net we are going to start doing this...

I like that now you can hear the pickup and delivery city spelled out. I am still debating the email thought. I would much rather be on QC so we can see all the detail but when we cannot you can get a lot of information from the phone call. Going to have to ponder on this more layoutshooter...

That is interesting piper1 changes your cost of business from ours a great deal. Thanks for the insite on that as I had just not paid much attention to what you guys were having to pay for fuel in Canada.

Wow louixo you have hit on something we have been spending a lot of time discussing in our truck also do we stay straight truck with our next purchase or do we move back into a semi? One thing we know for sure is we like expediting, we like who we are leased to, and we like the trucking...

There are two software systems running at this time. The new systems is pretty awesome to watch as it appears to be more web based while the old system looked more like the old AS400 screens black based with very little color. Slowly all of different divisions with FCC are moving to the new...

Hey Joe you and Robin are going to be missed. We wish you luck in your next adventures.

That is a lot on repairs but it sure could have been a lot worse for you and for her. Hope you can get it fixed quick and be back in the groove.

I am not looking forward to the higher prices and they are slowly but surely creeping up.
