    Shouldn't be a problem for you! Just remember that you are much smarter than it is. AND you can actually look ahead of your truck and see if there is a problem!

    But WAIT, THERE IS MORE!










    I just don't know what the hell it is. . .:biggrin_25523:

    big don, if you would have read my post carefully I mentioned this navigo deal on the quallcomm, I made my post not as an excuse , but as fact. these guys are TOLD not to deviate from the navigo route. its not an excuse but just a dang fact.

    I have helped several out of situations before this occurred. they simply are doing as they have been told and have been trained, they honestly don't know any better. they have been trained not to think but listen to the talking elog box.
     
    Big Don and TLeaHeart Thank this.

    My reasonably large carrier looked at the Qualcomm product, and told them it would make a fine boat anchor. Wonder how that guy figured out the goat trail route up Mt Hood without it?

    Your reasonably large carrier offers that Qualcomm product to all the drivers that drive for it. All it takes is sending in a macro on the QC to get it turned on.
