Qualcomm will be locked out while driving beginning July 18

I can't believe thy waited this long. Most company's locked them out several years ago when the lawsuits where flying around from driver intention accidents.

 

And the computer voice is the typical "WTF did it just say" chopped up jibberish...most companies I have worked for had those and it really is only good to see if it's an important message or just a general fleet message that can be read later.

 

Get a rand mcnally and a better company

 

Sayyyyyy whaaaa.....?

Whatchoo talking 'bout Willis......?

Good lord, first I've heard of this. (Dropping head down into hands & shaking head).

 

Yes I heard about this also, Again I agree with locking out the messaging while the truck is in motion.However the navigation not being able to reroute is just insane. Sometimes with all the trip planning in the world things happen and you need the reroute feature. I guess I will have to quit being cheap and break down and buy a Rand McNally GPS also..... Also the voice reading the messages to you is crazy. Half the time you can't even understand. Especially when I am in route somewhere and they change up the load on me which has happened a few times.. This will be interesting.

 

Never stop on the shoulder unless you are broke down.

 

Trying to decipher what that crappy text to speech is spewing out is more distracting than reading.

Have they actually listened to that stuff?

 

I like it when the Qualcomm lady reads out the 1-800 company phone number. One billion, eight hundred thousand etc. They locked ours out years ago too.
