    Its a QualComm MPC 50, I'm one of the few that have them because my truck gives the Zonar the ..|.. -_- ..|.. as for being able to get one that is unlikely.

    The reason they don't use them is because Knight loves the control the Zonar gives them on the company side. It tracks everything, Even rates the driver on how he drives, corners and idles. It also lets them pull the entire fleet up and see how the truck is running at even givin time. On the Drivers side of things, That tablet is a P.O.S. as simple as that.

    Edit.
    I also love that I have no little pips to scan.. ;) Just put in my normal macros after I do my pretrip.

    MO to London, KY wasn't a bad drive. I don't get over here too often. Unloading and will get part of the way towards my next pickup. Short day tomorrow. The preplan picks and delivers in one day for 280 miles.

    Ol' boy threw down yesterday refusing to go to the northeast. I reported the load going to NJ in the morning. Easy 500 miles for me. After I had the shop replace a flat on the trailer.

    3 trailers in a row I have had to call a road repair on to have a tire replaced. Two were flats that wouldn't hold air and this one today was a totally bald tire; no tread depth at all. Good thing it isn't my money.

    I lucked out and got on a dedicated thing for the next two weeks. I went to grab an empty and it has a flat. I put air in it and the valve stem is bad; leaking it all out. Knight is good to me and they gave me an extra pay for all the BS but it's still extremely annoying this keeps happening.

    Bad tires and MT hunts. Two huge annoyances at Knight.
