With Panther, some customers use Household miles, some use PC Miler. What we get paid for is the number of miles on the QC load offer. I have been shorted just about the same number of miles that I have been overpaid for. I'll have one load that drives 40 miles longer than the offer, then the...

Slow turtle speeds, eh? Yeah, OK. :) On icy mountain roads, the slower the better, all the way down to not moving at all. On snow and ice, you're dealing with the simple physics of friction, inertia and gravity. You have to have the delicate balance of all three in order to stay on the road...

Chances are, if a shop has a nitrogen generator, they aren't going to use regular air instead. They don't make enough money off the nitrogen to use it as a scam. But, true enough, just like the oil, you don't really know for sure unless you do it yourself and you know that the generator is...

"you have access to Gartner?" Used to, but not any more. Not really. I used to manage a computer store, at the retail level, a satellite store of our main company, near the campus of Murray State University (go Racers!) that mainly dealt with pointing students in the right direction so they...

FWIW, a friend of mine owns a tool and die place where they do a lot of single piece custom work, and he ships 2 or 3 expedited shipments every week. He's loyal, in that he's been using FedEx for years, and no matter what I say or how good of friends we are, he won't call another carrier...

I've never been successful. Not even once. Tried Firefox and MS Internet Exploder. Nothing. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

I'm sure the numbers are skewed. They all depend on who you ask. There are a lot of people who don't even have a land line anymore. Are they included in these numbers? I dunno. The Gartner Dataquest Survey that they put out in June 2001 showed 61% of US households (65 million) were actively...

Yeah, $5 a tire. Sprinter. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

Latest stats are always a little dated and behind the real world, but as of the end of June 2007, looks 84% of US households have Internet access, with 75% of all US households having broadband access. Those without access at all are not as likely to get it, 'cause they don't want it. Most on...

I'm with ya, Greg. The laptop is the tool of choice for me, too. Or at least it was until I tried a standalone GPS unit for about 15 minutes. When you compare the cost of adding GPS to a laptop with even the cheapest fully functional standalone unit, you're right, and it was exactly my thinking...

Thanks for the follow-up comments. I don't want my comments about the 7x00 series to come off sounding like those units are POS or anything like that. They're not. But, just the same, they're two year old technology (which was state of the art two years ago) and Garmin has units with up-to-date...

Unless you plan on mounting the 7x00 series out of reach and will use the remote control, the screen size difference between those and the c5xx and c3xx models will not be any kind of significant factor. But, one of the major advantages of the 7x00 series is the ability to input multiple stops...

Unless it has something to do with how much of a Gold Star Chili fan you are, I have no idea. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

Over on the left, under the person't screen name, click on the "points" link and it will open a box where you can rate them. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

Well, the thing is, they won't have to constantly be re-adjusted. They really and truly do stay inflated for much longer periods. If they don't, then there's a problem that needs to be corrected with the tire (or the sensors), not the nitrogen. Most all of the concerns expressed by people are...

Well, the testing I did was hardly anything official. Back last year I ran for about 2 months with multiple GPS units, usually two at at time to better compare them. I've used two Garmins, three TomToms and one Cobra unit. The Cobra unit I didn't like at all. Maps weren't accurate and the...

Dripple head? Oh, man, thats funny. :D I like that. Dripple head. Okay, first of all, you're right, I have no idea when you go home or when you are out of service. That's why I asked. Second, what part of, "...this advice is coming to you from someone with very little respect for Panther,"...

Existing databases, multiple POI's, cross-referencing with motor carrier atlases by the end user is a far, far different thing than what most truckers want or need. It's a kludge, and it's only, at best, a 95% accurate kludge at that. And 95% accuracy isn't all that it's cracked up to be when...

The question was, " Does GPS routing software have low clearance information?" And the correct answer is no, it does not. There are no GPS units, standalone or pocket, that will route you based on low clearances. Nor HAZMAT, nor any other restricted routing. There certainly should be, though...
