    I've never heard of a truck that used a high powered transmitter for a QC; and I really doubt we are being blasted with any more EM radiation than our own cell phones, GPS's and computers are giving off.

    like the other guy said, smaller companies.

    I drive for one now. just use a dumb phone for communication.

    call when empty and once in AM to let him know where I'm at.

    I like it fine.

    thing is. you have to be trustworthy.

    nobody is gonna hold your hand and make you get there on time.
