Qualcomm-how to hide from big brother?

If I had my own truck, plates, authority, and insurance, I'd try this myself. I'd unplug the unit and go running. The only problem I see here is the wagon. Is it your company's or yours? If it's yours, I wouldn't even unplug the Q-Comm unit. I'd just head on down and do the moonlight run. Just cover your company's name. Screw what they say.

If the wagon belongs to your company, that may be a problem.

 

Sounds like companies that terminate leases for "independent" excursions are trying to set examples. They don't want competition from O/Os who may, on a run like you're thinking of doing, learn a secret or two about how much loads REALLY pay, which loads are cherry, and which are not so desirable. This is because a company you're leased onto will stick you with the garbage and keep the apple-pie loads for themselves. If you start running through the woods late at night, this boat will get rocked for sure.

Also, if you go on one of these runs, you become a de-facto "competitor" of your company. Yeah, they'll probably terminate your lease if you do a moonlight run and they find out about it.

But of course, this means I MYSELF would definitely try it. If companies are so set on keeping O/Os away from certain runs, you know you wanna get in on that pie, boy. Yeah, I'd sneak into that party and try to learn what they're hiding from me (and you).

 

Ummmm, easy, when i want to be stealth like i simply cover the qualcomm antenna with the cover to a pan i use to cook....

I have one of those "turbo cookers" in my truck, due to it being a cheap pos that my old lady was willing to part with. The cover is domed shaped and fits perfectly over the antenna, and at a long glance looks like it belongs.

In order to disable the qualcomm you need to make sure all power to it is stopped. That may be tricky as i am sure that the harness probably is made such that there is no easy disable.

I have also seen truckers with plastic bowls lined with tinfoil, this blocks signal too.

First time i needed to block signal I used tinfoil.

i DONT BLOCK SIGNAL TO GO PLACES I AM NOT ALLOWED, I BLOCK SIGNAL DURRING DAY WHEN I AM TRYING TO SLEEP, AS THE GD QUALCOMM WONT STOP BEEPING FOR STUPID THINGS. LIKE THE FUEL PRICE FOR O/O OR TOP 10 O/O'S STOP SENDING ME STUPID MESSAGES!!!!!

 

Find the big black box and disconnect the coax cable labeled transmit and receive from the box.

 

I hear that tinfoil works well. It certainly helps keep the government from beaming messages into my head with their alien technology.

 

Wait till they put a chip in your body! (Oops! wrong thread)

 

What i do with mine is run a wire from either the ground or the feed and put in a switch this way i can shut it off when i want to go stealth.

just have to run it from the black box under the bunk.
