    Uh oh, you used the word cheap! Are you sure you saw cheap loads? I didn't see you come on here and ask anyone if you saw it.

    With EOBRs you'd think we don't have to write down the miles in each state e go through

    What Mercer is using supposedly doesn't track the truck, it's only a logbook.

    Oscar is correct. If you have a Rand McNally GPS it keeps track for you.

    Even if it did, it's a brand New system and still working the bugs out. I don't blame the guys in Louisville for not wanting to revamp the way they do ifta, for just a small portion of the fleet. A couple years from now, when we the entire fleet is on them, I bet they go to an automatic system for ifta.

    My Garmin keeps track too, I think I paid $250-ish for it.

    That's a great area, just don't do anything stupid like run to Portland for 1.75. That 4k dollar load isn't as good as it looks at first sight. Kinda like that girl at the end of the bar after you've been drinking for the last three hours, you will regret it when you sober up.
