    Dude, that's pretty much what all the megas do. A two week training program to get the cdl. Then 4 to 6 weeks on the road with a trainer. Then your keys to your truck. that's basically industry standard practice at any large carrier that hires guys with no experience.

    Just a word of caution regarding those implants. They are very susceptible to infections. If I was you I would stick with normal dentures, once your gums heal and everything gets done shrinking and moving, and you get some that fit properly there is nothing that you cannot eat.

    I agree 100% with Oscar @skateboardman, once you get a good fit you can eat anything. I don't even use any of that denture paste anymore... But I do have to make sure my hand is in front of my mouth when I sneeze!!! :biggrin_25523:

    It has to have GPS on in order to log the location, so yes it needs to be on at all times (that you're working). If you are doing personal driving, just log out. Other than that, yes, it can be any device that is Bluetooth capable. I use a Galaxy Tablet, some people use their phones, it's just your personal preference.

    I don't think it uses much, I bought the tablet from Mercer and put it on their plan. It's $13/month through Verizon, I can't imagine that gets much data at all, and it's plenty. Looking at Verizon's website, $20/month only gets you 1 GB. Even with Mercer's discount, that's probably all I get, and it never runs out.

    Buy any tablet. It uses less then 250kb a day. Often less then 150kb. It will not screw up any data plan.
