    I just wonder if the CoPilot crap is activated, does it run 100% of the time in the background? And would it pop up a message about exceeding the speed limit even if the navigation isn't being used? I know some of the older Magnum Petes had it built in to the trucks dash display, and it would warn you about weight restricted roads (that weren't restricted to the axel weights the company ran)...even if you weren't using the navigation it would still pop up on the truck's lcd screen

    I don't think it runs full time, because when I reset the tablet to keep it running efficiently, I have to restart the gps program or it isn't on at all. I got in the settings and shut off the warnings, you can't shut off the visual warnings, but you can shut off the audible portion.

    I just have to say WOW about the hypocrisy of this company(and many other Megas as well). "We're all about SAFETY", but they stick more driver distractions both sound and visual in these trucks....our elogs are on the Peoplenet, but let's stick the scale bypass system on there instead of a separate unit, then, let's stick a nav system on there so the driver has to swipe the screen to clear out all the other crap just to get back to their eld's. Then, let's add so many nanny sensors on there, with their own unique sound effects, so that the truck sounds like a video arcade during the school summer break. Oh, but dear god, don't you dare touch your phone!!!!!! Hypocrites, one and all!!!!

    Corner parking takes another victim at the Loves in Jeffersonville,OH.

    Pulled in after dropping off at the Walmart and right at the entrance a truck met an untimely end.


    Poor guy parked right where trucks come in.

    Truck is overdue on service a, engine and check engine light on, squeaky service brakes, battery cable recall, engine struggles on opti idle and finally took a crap won't start luckily on a loves with a shop... call breakdown let them know was told my home terminals shop LC its OK to wait a few weeks till ur on hometime to to bring it into deland shop... breakdown tells me have loves replace batteries and get to a terminal shoo, kc being the closest, I'm on two loads call it in am goes nuts saying there's no way we're deadheading you over 250 miles for a check engine and engine light...:angryfire:, guess they, the mighty dispatch, get dinged or something for unnecessary miles not under freight to justify rising fuel costs... if I end up breaking down on the side of the road later wouldn't a two End up costing much more? Last year a similar situation occurred and no one questioned breakdowns instructions... something funny is going on here at the company... they losing money or drivers somethings up...

    That right there is why I don’t park on the end. Too vulnerable especially with morons pulling in way too fast not watching where their off track is.
