    As a over all experience I hated copilot. Wish I hadn't bought it. But that's just me.
    Been over a year since I've used it though..

    Yes sir, I understand. When I first installed mine (I went straight to buy, no trial), I had to continue using my Garmin for the ETAs, etc. I was using CoPilot for the variety of routes. I finally decided to adjust all of the speed parameters, etc, and finally got it to the point it was pretty accurate in ETAs, and all of the other time-related things.

    Sorry it didn't work out for you.

    Guard at Shamrock Foods in Phoenix talks about how they don't pay detention. Oh your company my pay it but we don't.

    Then proceeds to talk about days where they're six hours behind then you show up at 6 a.m. for an appointment and you don't get into a door until 6 p.m.....

    Because if we started paying detention then we have to start charging you for being late or being too early.... And don't worry when you unload on days like today they have an incentive to get you done quick cuz that's the sooner they can leave...


    *7.5 hours later.....*

    Hahaha.....this BB employee tried selling me a couple load locks for $20. I said no and then he asked if it was only reefer and dry vans that used them. I said and tankers, but not flatbeds. He goes really? And walks over to the tanker driver and asked him if he wanted to buy load locks.

    He walks away from the tanker and sees me laughing my ### off and he comes back over laughing and says that he needs to go back home and restart his day cause he fell for that.

    My stupid APU is overheating because the radiator fan is not going full speed. I told W&B to replace it but noooooooooooo. I knew it was having issues both comming on and maintaining speed. 225 degrees in the surge tank so sooopa hot in the engine.

    One of those times I wish it was plumbed into the truck coolant system.....
     
    CannonballAA Thanks this.
