Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

% lease , and self dispatched probably.....

 

Just an FYI, they have really cracked down on anything political here, and from what I’m told I can’t blame them.

I don’t want to see your thread locked down, so I would proceed with caution.

 

Thinking about going back to being a company driver. Existing companies that have been around a while will be better able to deal with whatever crap starts coming down the pipes.

 

Things are getting shut down.

Why anyone continues to follow a civilian is beyond me.

 

If you go back to company driver ...maybe you can recoup some money...by selling your truck

 

Life moves on , started a business in a recession and bought a home during the housing crash . I am on my second business and have very little debt and looking to invest in multi family properties for secondary income. Keep moving forward and stay positive , gotta learn to roll with the punches .

 

Well, the other day I figured out how to charge my Garbagetastic Rand GPS faster than it discharges during normal operation.

You can hook up a USB charging cable at the same time as it is recharging from the magnetic mount.

WARNING. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE BEFORE THIS MELTS SOMETHING. TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

When I do this, I only let the secondary charging cable stay connected a few minutes at a time.

 

Any usb plug putting out 2 amps or better will charge it faster then draining.

You've probably been using 1 amp chargers. Those can't keep up but they're more common then 2 amps. But 2 is becoming more standard then 1. Now.

If it's working properly it shouldn't be over charging. It's ok to leave plugged in.

I used a 10 inch tablet always plugged in .

 

No. There is a manufacturing/design flaw in the TND 750 recharging system. The standard power connection for the TND 750 is a 4A charger.

 

My Garmin 780 battery doesn't hold charge , I also had to plug in the USB along with the standard plug to get it to work . Spend 4 or 5 hundred on these things and your not able to change battery easily.
