    You can disable that. Somewhere in the settings in the navigation thing. As for the rest... I miss the old onguard unit, though I may or may not have punched it. The shifting issue, you may want to get checked out. I remember another driver complaining about it, shop kept saying there was nothing wrong, eventually had a tech ride with him, and they got it fixed.

    Other than the nanny systems on the truck, the loads seem to be here, albeit shorter than I am used to. I received a 2nd preplan this morning. After I deliver this afternoon, I load out of York going to Columbus, then planned on a load out of a small town northeast of Columbus going back to Gordonsville VA for Saturday.

    I’m constantly running back-and-forth between the Midwest and the Pacific Northwest… I would get with your asset manager to see about trying to get something going west we got plenty of freight going that way… I’m currently on my way to Grandview , Washington from Indiana… that is if you wanna head out west… That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing for the last three months there’s been times where I’ve gotten in the area that you’re bouncing around short runs, but stay busy, but for the most part back-and-forth from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest is what I’ve been doing

    We definitely stay busy over here… The asset managers are constantly graded on our productivity… the way I look at it is if I wanna sit around and twiddle my thumbs I’ll do that at home & when I’m out here I’m expecting to run and make some money

    Yes and no. Doing daily runs uses a little more time on line 4. Over a logbook week, that adds up. However, with these teacup size fuel tanks, I fuel almost every day (especially when they don't allow us to fill up completely), so that takes more time as well. My Volvo at SPD had much larger tanks so I could go 2+ days on a fill. And doing the coast to coast runs I used to do, I could easily turn 4-4100 miles. Here, I would be surprised if I could make it over 3500 on daily deliveries.

    no there isn’t… But the TA is currently building just outside the gate for Walmart with an enormous facility…
