    Delivery optimizing tablet

    How about I steer this to "what android app also lets you plan out unlimited routes with unlimited stops and optimize the routes with many options including avoid tolls for free" Am I the only one that puts my routes into a spreadsheet and analyzes the profitability? I started because it was a...

    Delivery optimizing tablet

    Doesn't seem to be any way to do multi stop even with "collections" in Here athough I see users asking for it. Pretty responsive and quick as a GPS tho. Most apps want you to pay, which I won't unless I can try it out...

    Delivery optimizing tablet

    I'll try it, I like testing new gps apps. In Brooklyn I had the tomtom for iq routes, Google maps for traffic, and Navigator for truck routes all going at the same time... As for data, Wind now has canada and us roaming for data unlimited on their 60 dollar plan so no more worries

    Delivery optimizing tablet

    Mounting to my truck, so I consider this truck talk... Currently using the free Navigator app on multi stop runs for a new customer as my company branches out in search of runs to keep drivers busy. It does a great job, I enter in the addresses of all my stops and hit "optimize" and it groups...

    Cargo Van New GM entry

    Back on topic, I see nowhere that the sprinter style Nissan will be for sale for 2017, or any other manufacturer to compete with my 2005 when you factor in breakdowns, save the 4 cyl mercedes with the emissions junk tuned out Chevy is selling the NV200 to compete in the tiny van segment, and...

    Cargo Van New GM entry

    Since this turned into a sprinter brake discussion? Why are my front wheels literally covered in brake dust all the time? And yes they're original half left at about 200,000 miles

    Taxes: Quarterly or Annually?

    To Canadian newbies, you will owe tax and you will pay quarterly, or you will pay interest. When they're done fooling with your money, you might get some of it back

    How Much Do You Really Make per Hour?

    Sitting behind a desk while a 20 year old attempts to "manage" you has some high costs IMHO

    How Much Do You Really Make per Hour?

    Exactly why I check - so I don't go nuts - I average between 5-8 an hour after everything, including sleeping. The truck makes about 30 - 40 on deliveries but I don't, so that figure to me is pointless. At 7.5 cents I would be flipping burgers ;)

    Cargo Van Where to get Fan-Tasti fan in on a Chevy/GMC cargo van

    I've always cut a hole in the small door by my bunk, or in the window frame if it had one. Probably not good if you sleep on the floor Make sure the hinge is on the top unless you want free showers

    How Much Do You Really Make per Hour?

    I calculate the hourly, with deadheading, just as a gauge to see whether I should be looking elsewhere or not. But think of all the people driving to work that don't include that...or taxes...you can be misguided as an employee too

    June idle chit chat and banter and freight hauling

    Pretended to be a courier today with a multi stop, something a little different. The nail in my tire only lasted about 5000 miles, don't make them like they used to

    Cargo Van Tires

    That was a Ram Van 3500 with posi and a heavy load, not looking forward to an unloaded Sprinter They do make a sprinter lift kit...probably pointless without tall tires and the open diff...

    Cargo Van Tires

    I got almost 200,000 miles out of the Transforce HT and they were cheap. I wouldn't drive in the Northeast without winters, so although I agree with the Michelins mentioned here I wouldn't attempt winter driving with them, they suck in the ice. Ask me how I know Looking forward Bridgestone...

    Portable Generator deals/for sale? Best a/c unit?

    That's the one. As long as you have outside air it's enough (at least combined with the side mounted fantastic fan thru the van it is), and 12v means really low draw. They last forever too, I've got hundreds of hours without even changing brushes. Course this year I've used absolutely nothing...
