    Is it possible to see the load board on a smartphone, or do I need to tether it to my computer every time I want to see the available loads. I use my laptop tethered to my phone pretty much every evening, but was wondering if it was necessary in order to see the load board. Tks!

    Mind if I ask what service/equipment you're using for this setup (and cost?)

    I have t Mobil, and a galaxy S5. T-Mobile isn't the best service, but any provider will work. I have 5 gig a month and unlimited talk text on 3 smartphones for about $150 a month. Again, probably better providers, but I have had t Mobil since I was stationed in Germany 10 years ago in the army.

    Oh, and I have a 4 year old laptop and tether it with the WiFi Hotspot from the galaxy.

    2015 KW T680
    Paccar 485hp
    1650 LB-FT Torque
    13 speed
    336 rears

    MPG 7-8.5 or better..I tend to run around 67mph.
    I've hit as high as 9 on light runs taking my time..but 8.5 is about average if running under 25K.
    Anything heavier and she grunts a bit on the hills..she'll pull mind you but the MPG's go in the dirt.
    Engine will lug down to 1100 rpm's and still pull..just hard to let it go down that far.
    I've been experimenting with this lately and my mpg has improved a bit.

    50251 miles on her and no problems(other than the turbo going in the 1st 1200 miles).
     
    Drifter42 Thanks this.
