The escrow account can't be used for weekly deductions. Whatever the escrow account is set up for, it can only be used for that, and nothing else. In this case, it's to be used to cover the cost of the QC unit in case you never come back with it.

Yeah, that ol' "I'm a truck driver" reality thing can hit hard sometimes. Happens in vans, too, tho.

Uh, oh. Now you've done it.

WESTLAKE, Ohio -- TravelCenters of America LLC (TA) announced that its full-service restaurants are launching a 15-minute-or-less service promotion this month. During the 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. timeframe, guests will be provided a clock timer for their table once their order is taken. If their food...

If you get real bored, stare at the center until the moving ball is green, then keep staring and eventually the purple balls will disappear.

No, I don't think you messed up at all. The 750 and 660 are basically the same price, so it's more of a matter of trading features than anything. The 750 is not Bluetooth compatible, so you can't make hands-free calls. The hands-free calling works great if you're sitting still and the motor...

Where did you have your LONGEST LAYOVER? :eek: City: Tampa, Florida Days/Hours: 9 Days How did you pass the time? Spring Training Did you leave loaded or empty? Loaded Would you do it again? Absolutely:) Your Name: Ken Slaughter Truck: Cargo Van Carrier: Panther When I delivered that load the...

While it ticks me off sometimes, I really can't get too mad when I have a dropped call while moving. Considering the number of times the signal gets handed off between cell tower to cell tower while moving, the number of dropped calls is very small. "The appeal of the iPhone (besides the fact...

I know who my reps are, thanks. When I want to get in contact with my rep, I e-mail him directly. I'd still like to know what that singular question was at the Q&A Session.

Well, when I said "unless you have a data plan to use with the phone..." it covers the EDGE cellular network, since that's a data plan. Not being intimate with the iPhone or AT&T's plans, I wasn't aware that the iPhone's plans included the data plan. The iPhone becomes the Aircard. Right? Yeah...

With the new WAAS and SiRF chips, dead reckoning is pretty much obsolete. The way dead reckoning works is, the GPS unit is also hooked into the vehicle's steering and speedometer (or in some cases the vehicle's computer), and when the unit loses the satellite signal the GPS unit can figure out...

The speakers on the Garmins are all plenty loud. Hearing voice prompts through the vehicle's stereo speakers is a nifty addition, though, but the FM transmitter also lets you hear audio books and MP3's through the speakers, as well. But the FM transmitter is not why you'd want the 660 over the...

$250 a week for 60 months. Other than, "Holy crap!" words fail me.

Ah, got it. :)

I thought Panther didn't require experience with straight trucks.

It's about averting the eyes and changing focus. One, I have the Garmin mounted on the dash within finger's reach while my hands are on the wheel. I'm holding onto the wheel and I can point with one finger to touch the screen of the Garmin. Two, where the Garmin is mounted it is very nearly in...

Are you sure it was a woman, and not a dood? :D

You'd think that, but it's not. PC Miler is very, very accurate, CoPilot is not. Too often it tells you to turn left when you should be turning right. Sometimes it's off by miles. The latest version of CoPilot is better than earlier versions, but it's most definitely not the same mapping and...

It was probably a dood.
