    Well, an update on my life....At this point, I bailed on going flatbed, I tried getting out of it before but my fleet manager wanted me to give it a shot. I just can't see myself climbing up on top of some of the flatbed loads that I've seen. So, gonna stick to van for awhile.

    So, tomorrow I'll be moving into a '06 Freightliner with 477k and an APU. The kicker about it tho, its a condo sleeper. Will be nice having all that extra headroom. I should be rolling outta here tomorrow I imagine, but before I do, I wanna try and get one of those new Qualcomm PC's put in, so we'll see.

    Qualcomm is a communication device between the trucks and the company. Most are just a message platform. The PC however is all sorts of stuff. Not only is it the messaging platform, it also has built in navigation and electronic logging. There is probably more that it does, but I'd have to actually play with one.

    Hopefully, from what my Evo 3 FM told me today, they are slowly but surely switching over to PC's, whether its Qualcomm or not, he didn't know. He did say that they are testing out the Qualcomm unit tho. Basically he said, they aren't getting anymore of the basic Qualcomms anymore, everything is switching over.
