    The Teletracs GPS unit in my loaner truck doesn't work. The ignition feed is disconnected and it's not showing a satellite signal. So it can't find its position and keeps going into sleep mode, lol!

    All this technology sucks when something goes wrong... :biggrin_2552: I spent some time trying to deal with it... but I think there's a problem with the satellite connection too... I don't know... will not waste more time with it... :biggrin_25512: I am not a professional... and the person who uploaded this to my truck is not either... :biggrin_25523:

    There wasnt any damage other then a half dead deer.
    Now I had to stop and was some blood off the truck , but I seen them crossing the road so I moved over a bit and the one turned around . It basically ran right into the bottom of the left front corner of the bumber and where the wheel are .

    The cop that stoped looked to make sure he didnt have to right a report , and then had to shoot the deer becasue I crippled the hell out of it.

    It was one of things where I knew I was gonna hit but nothing I could do.
    I am sooooooooo glad it wasnt worse , because an accident right before I try to go to another company would not have looked very good. Lol
     
    Rocks and TruckDuo Thank this.

    Yeah this is true . I mean I wasnt gonna run into a ditch to get away but more less just hugged the white line a bit closer ..

    That would really suck . A accident a week before my interview with this company. ...
