    Worth a shot right? I was one of the late adopters or maybe I just don’t remember the Verizon signal. In my uneducated opinion the tablet should now be functioning like my cell phone does. It’s not perfect but it works way better then the wifi tablet.
     
    Knucklehead, Lonesome and Oxbow Thank this.

    That was my thinking(and hope) as well and it took me all of 5 minutes to get the case off and insert the sim, so if it doesn't help, then I'll take it out and put it back in my old tablet.

    Man these loads are some fuel hogs. We ran 376 miles today and I topped off with 86 gallons, the Volvo I’m running with out on 120 gallons. He’s using enough fuel that it’s becoming a pain in the ### with our route to find fuel without stopping a few hours into the day. And the next ones are supposed to be almost two feet taller.

    Hope there is a lot of fuel stops on your route once you get into Canada.

    If by a lot you mean one, then yes. But we’re only going 400 miles into Canada.

    Oh, I thought your destination was further than that...I haven't been that far west in Canada. The farthest west I have been is the blue water bridge.

    The shipper needs YOU to give THEM a printed BOL?

    Isn’t that backwards? o_O

    It’s pretty common at retender yards like keen runs. Also common at ports and air freight hubs. Paperwork makes the world go round.

    We often have to do it for loads, for example a hay load or used equipment picked up from an individual…
     
    Knucklehead Thanks this.

    Rode through your home town a few times today @supersnackbar hard to not get in the Christmas spirit around there with the small town festive feel they have going on, neat little place.
