    I tried all of y’alls suggestions and still bricked. It pisses me off that I’m probably going to have to pay more money tomorrow for a piece of crap from the 1990s then for a state of the art computer system. We all should have iPads mounted on our dashboards and just run the software for ELD’s and communication. Omnitracs sucks.

    I would go back to Omnitracs in an instant if I could. Peoplegarbage (Peoplenet) is Android-based, and is full of fail and turds.

    Unfortunately, these units can and do conk out on you at the most inopportune of moments. But enough about my ex girlfriend.

    I once had a unit go flatline and so off to the Thermo king in SLC I went. The tech guy replaced it and off I went. And then it died again. Phooey!

    It was like a FIAT: Fix It Again, Tony! And so another unit was put in and finally all was well. Hopefully, your new unit will live long and prosper.

    I have bought and sold about 30 Fiats in my life. Most of them cost less than this unit did and were a lot more fun.

    Smallest car I ever drove was a mini Cooper. Such a zippy and agile car. Belonged to my mother.

    What sort of mpg does a Fiat get? I once thought back during my pizza delivery days that a Fiat would make an excellent delivery car.

    I have other things I need to buy. Thousands upon thousands of dollars of unmet need.
