    Every time I see "reminder" messages like that the 1st phrase that comes to mind is "thank you Mr. Obvious"

    Tried to link my Peoplenet unit to my home WiFi. Unfortunately, doing so disconnects the tablet from the truck ecm and the ELD function is disabled. So apparently it isn't like the Sam-crappa where the truck's ecm will communicate with the servers then the servers communicate with the ELD app on the tablet. Our Peoplenet has to be directly connected to the truck's ecm via the truck's gateway.

    Not quite. The purpose of the current tariffs are for negotiation. All countries and even China want to negotiate to have access to our markets. Between 1998 and 2019 the USA lost 5 million manufacturing jobs.

    Many because of cheaper labor in other countries, which tariffs won't correct. It's cheaper to build cars, trucks, heavy machinery and electronics in Mexico and China because unions in the US have jacked up the pay rates so much higher than other countries. Also, the US has some of the highest corporate income tax rate in the industrialized world, which tariffs on foreign owned companies products wouldn't change. All this tariff stuff is gonna further stagnate this countries economy and drive prices even higher.

    We also have a lazy not want to work problem in this country too which has certainly contributed to the problem as well
