    GPS for 200 Bucks

    The Megellans, although better displays and user friendly are NOT DEPENDABLE. Only purchase one of those units somewhere, where the retailer will stand behind you 100% or you will be left on hold trying to find out how to ship it back for repairs. I am not the only one on this site who...

    Rules for Dispatchers

    newbie heading out

    Garmin is great, except for the TRUCK ROUTING. I believe everytime I shut the truck off, cutting the electric to the unit, it goes back to car mode. Do not trust these things, they will take you under a 9-6 bridge when your 12 or higher. Common sense overules the ease of the computer! Know...

    Hino resale values

    An observation I had the opportunity to make on I84 in CT. Cruising along at 62-63 when a Hino slowly passed me. I stayed right in behind it. It was a Straight Truck with a 22 box probably 96 inches high on Box, no sleeper. My observation was this. As we approached each curve the trucks...
