    I've driven my werner truck 4 miles at 30 MPH and it never took me off line 1.

    I've had another werner driver tell me as long as I keep it under 30 and don't put it in reverse it'll leave you on line 1. from personel experience I've been on line 1 at a shipper for an hour then backed into a dock and remained on line1.

    I don't know what your qualcoms look like but if I scroll through the menu screens I get one that tells me if my positioning is "active" or "inactive"
    as good as the system is there are blind spots caused by tall buildings or geography, if your blocked from the satelites they don't know where you are.

    now if you climb up to the antenae and cover it with aluminium foil held down with a big rubber band you could drive across country and they'd not have a clue! :yes2557:

    I like your thinking, but with photo manipulations programs out there couldn't the company claim it was a faked photo? of course the msgs are written in stone tablets somewhere.....

    that you're just an experiment in some higher intelligence's world?? Let's see how the dumb truck drivers can figure out how to get over on us THIS time.

    qual com's messages are written in "stone" in san diego california.

    hence the orientation advice, don't type in ANYTHING you will regret later... it is saved permanently off site and the dot has access to it.

    semi private conversations should be over the phone and personal ones in person...

    that's what they told us anyways...
