So, 3 weeks in, over 5500 miles, and lots of coffee later: I'm still liking it. There are some frustrating elements: finding a parking space after 5pm, expecting plants to get their loading done quickly, and @*@%#!*% navigating. I am giving up on the Qualcomm nav system, Navigo. It works pretty well, but is so old school, it doesn't really provide enough detail. Plus, when I am pulling a HAZMAT load, I need routes that don't take me on NO HM roads, or centers of cities. I've ordered a Rand McNally 7" Truckers GPS, man, cannot wait to get that.

I've been through Ark, MO, IL, AL, MS, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pittsburg and now am waiting on a load in West Virginia (very pretty country here). After I load, it's back the Texas, gawd I need some BBQ.
