    As I think forward to when I start driving with a company and have been assigned my own truck, I'm "dreaming" of what electronics I will have by default and also what I might want to install myself. I'm a techie guy, so am interested what other people are running with?

    laptop
    tablet
    USA smart phone ( also use for hotspot)
    CND smart Phone
    Rand Mcnally 720 gps
    satellite radio
    dash camera

    if your company uses transflow for sending Docs back to home base download the app for your smart phone it is the best thing ever. we generally use it for customs docs as it goes right to my customs guy email but we can also send other docs back that way. but now send it from any where with phone signal. generally customs docs are processed by the time im pulling out of the customer's lot

    Only thing you're missing is the dash-cam. For me, I would be using my laptop for tv and movies.

    Do CB radios operate with headsets (are they legal) or hands free technology? My luck, the mic will swing into my forehead and give me an egg.
