    I don't blame her. Here on the sandbar, they don't even own a plow. So it was due to bad road conditions.

    She was ok thankfully. I talked to the cop, because she was all shook up at the time(understandable), he said had she gone a bit more to the right he'd be giving me some really bad news. We got big ### metal electric poles down here due to the hurricanes.

    I did have to laugh when I finally saw the car. Front tires were Hub up facing the sky. Looked like something from a sci-fi movie. LOL.

    As I told myself then, it's easier to get a new car, then a new wife. She's a rarity. She puts up with all my ########.. Ya'll think you got it rough with my jokes, she has to actually listen to them!

    :p

    Dunno about others but GM vehicles with app access is via 3g/4g on at&t iirc, you can't stop the car if it's running via key but you can GPS the location instantly for recovery, better than LoJack.

    Delivery this morning to a paper warehouse in Pittsburgh. Second time there. It’s a shuttle run from another location out east. Also the second time the unloader has given me extreme attitude. I tried to engage him but he wouldn’t bite. I usually don’t call in about this stuff, but he really needs to respect others. It’s either this or grab him up next time. There will be a next time. Easy run that gets me home.

    We have this on a 2020 Ford Ranger, works off AT&T . Will work anywhere you have phone signal. Wife called me once she had locked her phone and keys in the truck at work, I unlocked it in a few seconds, she was in Georgia I was in Texas. Ours sets the cabin temperature at 70 degrees when you start it with the app don't know if there is a way to adjust this. It also will track the vehicle, let you know fuel level and tire air psi.

    That's awesome. I guess the next thing I need to look at is if there is some kind of subscription that I will have to pay?

    It's nice when you get to the yard And you can start the car from the truck if you're too far for the key fob to work

    She doesn't either, it's another Device that's part of a Package that adds Cost without true benefits

    Ok...
    So this dude needs a fact check.

    He called and told me the load I had from Pine Bluff AR to Anderson for $1750 was rescheduled, i think he found someone bootlegging freight with AR Farm tag again who WILL undercut, but it was 285 loaded miles.

    So 1750/285
    He tells me he’s got a load going to Mishawaka, IN for $1750.
    I’m like “F U”
    That’s like 600 mile. so 1750/600
    and your way up in bumfreakin nowhere with very little chance of reload without going towards MT Vernon IN for wheat midds that don’t pay much.

    Brokers...

    When the broker gets caught stealing from a truck driver who catches them outside the locked office.
