Orientation in Green Bay, 2/4/14?

I don't rely solely on the 720. Or on Google maps. Or my atlas. Or the directions supplied by my dispatcher/company in our handy-dandy-useless direction book. I use Google first, for an overview and general location. Note the major roads, check for restrictions and punch the address in the 720. Compare that with the direction book because sometimes we deliver to satellite locations or the tank is away from the main office. When I'm confident that I'm not going to get lost hauling a tanker of propane, off I go. The 720 has the updated construction info, usually, so I use that en route. Also track fuel and trip times too.

For what I need, the 720 is perfect (except it got lost on US24 in Ohio last night. Twice.). I don't want the logs, but haven't taken the time to determine how - or if - they can be disabled. I don't care if the 730 is faster; I have a feeling that the 720 is much faster than I am and I wouldn't even notice the difference.

I appreciate the input, though.

 

Sigh...my baby is growing up! Turned over 100,000 last week, and got stuck for the first time last night. It had very little to do with super-singles, and a whole lot to do with only one live axle...the dead axle wheels were on dry ground while the live ones were in a teeny little depression filled with what appeared to be whale snot, under a thin layer of frozen whale snot - neither of which was up to the task of supporting or providing traction for 79,000 lbs.

Tow truck driver said "Looks like I will have to pull you 2, maybe 3 feet." He also said that the driveway is a solid sheet of ice from the road to behind the tank later in winter, and that a lot of times he gets called out to unstick drivers who can't blindside into the lot from the road (THAT made me feel pretty good, since I DID blindside in without getting stuck. So what if I had to pull up 8763532368 times...). Fun times!!

 

I didn't make it to the elevator before they closed on Saturday, then forgot. Talked to another driver, also single drive super singles...he recommended grit, like you would feed poultry. Said it has enough sharp edges to give you traction, but the pieces aren't big enough to damage tires. If I make it through the week, I will make sure to get by the elevator on Saturday MORNING, since winter hours mean they close at noon...

 

You do that, gr, and let me know how it works...

Upon further reflection, popcorn/french fry seasoning would have accomplished nothing, since I was spinning my wheels - literally - in water, not snow or ice.

And for the record, I am tired of cold weather already. I really need to retire to Cabo...
