i have a garmin 330 it does work for trucks but you cant relie on them you must learn how to properly read a map /. use your map frist check out the routes see if theres anything that would stop you from going that way. i use gps mostly as a guide i will never trust them to route me remember they dont no about restricted routes or low over hangs. i hear that some of the laptops have real good mapping in them for trucks but i wouldnt trust them etheir. im just old school learn the highways over time and go .also if they send you routing and it dont look right its probly cause it aint.i get bad dirrections alot on the qaulcom . otheir thing i do call the shipper / receiver and ask if im coming from here will this work or is there a better way.

 

frist day on his new job i pull in figuring i;ll mess with him .get flagged over figure alright now hes going to play . i get all ready and here he comes like a chicken hawk on that cartoon . im laughing my --- off . what didnt see was his comanding officer was on the otheir side of my truck. they get to doing a level one insepct im like ok go ahead figure hell cant be anything wrong brand new truck. he comes back a short time later says sorry dad but i got a present for you. i figure its my cvsa sticker saying everything was found to be good . nup got the yellow part of the ticket only thjing they could find trailer had a blown bulb in the middle on top back row . fix it within 24 hrs or pay up . i so po i left there and didnt talk to him for a week . i got over it though we laugh about it now . he told me dad my commander was right there and new who you were he was checking to see if i would treat you like anyone else so i did and he says i did tell you to have a nice day lol.

 

like father like son never can do the right thing LMAO

 

Sorry to hear that Larry. Yea, it's a business that'll either make ya or break ya and it's not for everybody.


Paul, you can't really ask for a trainer. You have to take who they give you. On that site is only a few of many trainer's. Now unless one of those guy's agree's to take you on then you really can't ask for one by name. The $240 is an advance for you to live on when you start your 100/hr with your instructor. You get this $240 advance every week on your ComData card. You have a choice of taking it. If you take it, and you don't even have to take all of it if you don't want but anything you take on that advance will come out of your check at a rate of $25.00 a week. The part I don't remember is if they take it after your upgrade to A seat or if they start taking it during your 60/80,000 miles with the trainer.

I really like the way all of this sound's. Only down part is I hope it doesn't take them forever and a day to get loaded and unloaded eating up driving time.

 

i was kinda new, on the other site thought it was like yahoo messanger in a way u click on one name talk to them or send them a im and go to another what i did not know at the time was when i clicked on a name it went to everyone so i appologized for that walcrawler told me the same ill get up thee and do what is needed and then hopefuly wont have to wait to long for a train.
