    on board fax machine?

    Rand McNally TND 700

    755T. I wanted a little bigger screen this time around, lane assist and FM alerts, and a price less than my original 200. Not sure the FM traffic is up to where it should be, but I wanted to experiment and see if I could work something useful out of it. Anything above this model has the kind...

    on board fax machine?

    How's this for a hillbilly option? Can you take a steady enough photo with your cellphone camera and email the image from the phone? I'm behind the times on my cellphone, but these days many people have everything they need in their phone. Scanning is basically a flat scanned photo. Key...

    Rand McNally TND 700

    I remembered that. I think you and I might have been the last of the bottom-of-the-line nuvi users. I relinquish full bottom-of-the-barrel to you. I was making the same decision of lifetime maps, so I went with a new unit to go with the maps. I am still happy with the 200, but it was a...

    on board fax machine?

    Like OVM said, and some more reasons why. You come out the chute and things seem hunky-dory, but until you see the cycle of business for a whole year, you really don't have an appreciation for when freight goes flat. That one gadget might make that one repair payment that gets you through a...

    Thinking of trucking

    I second the motion. If you are like others who still insist on going against advice, I would advise that only one of you start driving while the one with the best pay and benefits keeps their day job. See how that works before taking the ultimate plunge. The route you appear to be...

    and I ordered a new garmin, and it's waiting for me at my mailbox. I'll save the nuvi 200 as my emergency backup/nightlight. eb

    Load Offer and other Straight Truck questions

    A lot depends on the information that your company sends with the load offer. I'm tired of pulling teeth with the dispatchers that are supposed to helping me, so I made a simple little spreadsheet. Three entries--empty miles, loaded miles, and total pay. The spreadsheet calculates the...

    what does it look like cargo vans?

    I posted some of my raw numbers in the Bolt Express carriers forum. This year so far has been better than last. This year so far is about like 07, except I'm with a different company now. Near term I'm guessing will be similar to now, but I'm putting no faith in the new year. I'm pretending...

    van or truck

    Number of posts has more to do with how familiar someone is with using the forum. Yeah, I may sound a bit cranky, but I'm really just brainstorming ways to get people to use the faq's and search. eb
