FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Gotcha. I messed around with the navigation thing on my Qualcomm and it couldn’t find the address for Sysco in Olathe, which I feel is pretty straight forward. So that was enough of that.

 

I used to use it for everything. Had it on my iPad on a dash mount. I also had the Garmin set up for rest areas and truck stops. However, now that I am on this dedicated account I really dont need to pay for Co Pilot anymore. I know where I am going and if a new one should pop up Google Maps covers it good enough.

 

My window mounted Garmin GPS and Google Maps on my phone as a backup is all I use... That and the old trusty Rand McNally map book of course! Still comes in handy from time to time, it's funny to think now, when I started this racket I had no GPS, no smartphone, yet I still managed to make it everywhere on time LOL. Now we can't live without these #### things

 

Just imagine what dinosaurs we are going to seem like the new drivers in another 15-20 years... I can see it now, "what! You mean you drove with no GPS, no smartphone, no e logs, no collision avoidance, no side radar, no roll stability or traction control , and you had to shift gears on your own??!!"

 

By then it will be....you actually drove the truck? If the job survives another 15 years....

 

Don't forget the 3 shoe boxes of every city map you could get to find your customer's address...and a roll of quarters for the payphone...and no Qualcomm/Peoplenet to track you....gawd I miss (some) of the good ole days.

 

Sad but true

 

You and me both brother!!.. good ol paper logs! And my personal favorite, loose leaf paper logs

 

And the fuel receipts for a shower

 

My companies wouldn't allow loose leaf logs, I just had 3 or 4 different logbooks depending on how busy of a month it was.
