    Well day 2 down in the books...
    Told FM about my 135 mile OOR yesturday and she didn't say much... Also told her about my DriverTech not registering the truck movement, having to put myself on line 3 and line 4 and so forth... also, it is not registering the miles, but I am adding them to the last log of the day's comment line.

    When I got to Shippensburg I asked the mechanic if they could do anything and the answer I got was that there is a part that is probably missing and is on back order...most likely the Tunnel Hill terminal would have the part????? How many of you are running out there like this????

    the longer you run without stopping the further off it will be had it off by as much as 2ml behind.

    stuped thing with yours is it should be about a 5 min sofware fix

    all they need to do is a ram upgrade to fix most of what is wrong with them. everything they have running on it are windows based and gps is a ram hog, it will run on 128mb runs better with 256 and is very happy if you over a gig.

    Today was exhausting.... Pickup an MT,,drive 77miles to drop it off at Amazon,,,drive 2 miles to Hope Depot to pick up another MT and drive 54 miles for a drop/hook at Big Lots... Than drive as long as I can so I can make my 08:00 appt, which I will be later for but not bad...maybe 15mins or 30...

    This morning I wake up and my blower fan for AC/Heat up front will not come on... not sure at all why,,checked all fuses and none found to be bad.

    Another thing I do not like about the DriverTech...once you reach the point where you only have 1 hr left of HOS, the thing continuously beeps at you... I noticed that if I hit the message, it will stop for a min or two...
