    I think I saw one of those new Crete trucks on the road... it was # 38138.
    Had those xenon headlights... looks like they're stepping up their game a bit.

    All new Freightliners are suppose to have the new LED headlights standard now. Guess it was too expensive for a truck owner to change a $20 bulb every 100k...so they put $350(ea) headlights as standard equipment (and no doubt the customer pays for it or pays extra to have regular)

    Don't use your cell data to do a GPS map update then...I did mine off my lightning fast dual channel home network...took 9 hours...I stream live video over wifi, so I can't imagine how big the map data ended up being taking that long....oh, and I only used 154 gig this month on my 'ole cell. (Sorry, I couldn't help a little poke in the ribs :biggrin_25525:)

    Garmins updates are 3 and a half gigs, Garmin Express would download it without asking me... I deleted that program.

    the wifi at Lincoln sucks now, that's where I used to do it.

    I almost bought a Truckfridge last week in Georgetown, KY.
    But I like to eat out to much. And I'd lose the storage space.
