    That's why both small and large companies these days use temp agencies. Might look into that.

    And back to my thoughts. All the experienced hands told you months ago not to lease to prime. Now you have to live through it. You have experienced hands answering you're questions. But don't start any more threads. They have a search option. Learn to use it.

    Our Qualcomm hooks to the ECM and I can tell you that everytime I've checked, tge mpg
    The Qualcomm unit hooks directly to the ECM.. Us "mega" guys don't have to read the lie o meter to see the fuel mileage is usually better than what the dash is showing..

    Perhaps when you drive by us at 80mph to our 65 while you complain at us for being in your way while getting your 6.8mpg realize we are getting 8mpg while going a bit slower...

    Convenient: however the personnel I want doesn't work for temp agencies. I have a candidate; not sure a more qualified candidate for my operation exists.

    Finding the right person is why I haven't bought another truck and trailer. I just don't trust anyone else to care for my equipment like I do.

    The Lie-O-Meter is a readout from the ecm. The qualcom is hooked to the ecm. And, the ecm dump comes from........ the ecm.

    We should all know this by now. If you don't....why?

    Anyway, the ecm 'estimates' the fuel consumption and feeds the information to Lie-O-Meter and the Qualcom. It is also the source for the ecm dump. So..... If the factory ECM over 'estimates' the fuel economy like most of them do, especially the Crapcadia, so will the Lie-O-Meter, the Qualcom, and the ECM dump.

    Of course if your on top of the simple math needed to calculate fuel consumption and your costs, you would be well aware of this discrepancy. But, if your a fleacer.... well your business and math skills speak for themselves.

    No, If you go back and read, I said he was a fleecer; so I considered that

    Same. Comes to a point that it's ridiculous to go without a second unit running tho. Least that's the numbers I'm seeing.

    Sorry to chime into you guys bickering back and forth. But just want to say. If your a company driver. But have to purchase your own snow chains, load locks, side box etc... but don't have any 401k company match. Do your self and the rest of us a favor. Gtf away from there. Working for substandard anything effects all of us. That is all, you may now continue with your useless quarreling.
