    It will always be called a Qualcomm. Even though Qualcomm spun it off as omnitracs and is no longer in the business.

    Just like Loaded Call even though no phone is used really anymore.

    So, how is that new truck treating you? How's the mpg and do still run 55 or a little faster now since it has a faster gear ratio?

    Speaking of Omnitracs... I wonder what it would take to get one of the new ones with the forward facing speakers that some of the trucks are getting....

    I'm just curios what do you all do to get health insurance. That's would be my biggest concern of doing a l/p or buying my own.

    I got mine through True North. They have a deal with JCT to settlement deduct each week. Mine is $135 a week for me and my wife. Wife has had no problems using it. I haven't used it myself yet.

    They told me that their insurance does not count toward the mandatory so you can still be fined by big brother. you may wanna ask them.

    They do have compliant plans. Whoever told you that is wrong. I've had mine for a year. I could've gone with a cheaper plan, but wouldn't have been compliant. I've included a screenshot of this years open enrollment email. FYI, open enrollment ended on the 17th.

    I would stay away from the government health insurance market. $1200 - $2300 per month for a middle class family of 4.
