Electronic logs

My companies QualComm setup will automatically switch you to On Duty, Not Driving if you sit still for more than around 3 mins. (I would have to time it to give you an exact number) So in traffic jams it will automatically switch you.

Ditto ours does the same!

Yipeeeeee! Verizon = unlimited!

There is a 22 gig cap then you'll be prioritized when systems are busy is what I saw when I switched this a.m. I'm already a Verizon customer and was paying $104 and change for 4 gigs plus phone payment now my bill is $113 and change for the unlimited. I've been out here for over a year now and in my opinion no one can match Verizon's coverage, I had TMobile when I got out here and got Verizon a couple of months after getting out here,my co driver had Sprint and of the 3 Verizon could make calls where the other 2 couldn't. Don't get me wrong you'll find dead spots on Verizon but it's gonna be a heck of allot less places than the other 2.

Rand McNally 730 issues. help

Did reset work? Also this is the number I use for tech help with mine. 1 (877) 446-4863

Rainy have you ever hooked it up to your laptop and used the Rand McNally dock to update it? There is a diagnostic and repair in that program. I did an update on mine and it started doing stupid stuff like completely re routing me and adding extra miles to my trip when I would jump off the interstate for fuel or a break, ran the diagnostic on mine and it found several corrupt files then repaired them.

Truck issue

Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know on my Freightliner the only way you can manually Re gen is if the Re gen light is on. I had a Re gen issue with mine and the only way the tech could initiate a manual Re gen was by hooking up his laptop to the truck.

New SC Petro truck stop features bowling alley

This is awesome, I was an avid bowler but now that I'm out on the road I can't commit to a league like I used to do. I can only hope when I'm on home time that someone needs a substitute and i can go do it.

Guy blew a .28 - operating a TT?

He should be buried up to his neck, and have rocks thrown at his head. Oh, wait - this isn't the Middle East.

Dragging a WALMART BOX at that? Hope he was a WalMart corp driver - I can see the company he drives for (other than Wally Corp) losing their contract over this one.

After the Tracey Morgan thing, not great press for WalMart. Red Tractor - who is this? US Express?

Nope it was Crete Carrier.
