    Yesterday I had two loads of caustic, one going to FMC in Rockland and the other to the mill in Baileyville. Today I'm sitting at home because there is no work. Last week I had a no work day and I had a day where I did 346 miles to bring a trailer from So. Maine to Hampden for inspection. Most of my days so far this summer have been less than 8 hours and this is suppose to be the busy season. Asphalt has been extremely slow most days.

    I've been here two years now and can't seem to get off of night shift or in my own truck here either, but they will hire someone right off the street, put them in their own truck, and have them running day shift. There's some other crap going on behind the scenes, especially with an idiot running dispatch, so its got me thinking that it might be time to part ways with this place.

    It's not a banner year for Asphalt, and it's not all weather related.......

    The rest of it is above my pay grade.....

    You'll have issues with either the rand or the garmin, so it's really a crap shoot. Since you had a rand, if go with a garmin just to try it. I have a garmin it does a good job.....mostley.

    Well it froze on me after it kept saying something like over weight for road I was on, then it would not unfreeze. Then the screen cracked as I attempted to beat a fix into it. Then she fell out the window

    I have Rand and it's not that bad. I use it with a google maps combo on my phone. They are all about the same. I hear Garmin is good too, apparently has a better features than Rand.
