Hondalink would be awesome! It's exactly what I want - use my phone's already awesome navigation system connected to the car. Only one problem - no Windows Phone support (that I've found)

That yahoo's article was horrid. My eyes are bleeding and my brain has donned it's hat and briefcase, and walked out the door

Damn straight

Thanks for the info! I primarily have dealings with OOs who drive for small companies. Manual logbooks are still pretty much the standard fare.

Honestly on that front I have no idea.

FYI: Beer

Didn't know water was 4.2% alcohol

I read this in Brett's voice

Off, please

That's pretty much how it works. Trucking can be shady as fuck

That's really what I figured, hence putting have in quotes :)

It works in consumer vehicles the same way as industrial equipment. They still go through regens and some have a urea gauge not unlike the fuel gauge. Check this pic of the Ram 1500 3.0 CRD's gauges.

I've read your post a few times now and, to be honest, I'm having a hard time finding the message. Are you being purposely contradictory, or is there a syntax missing there?

Yes, as companies go to electronic logging it does defeat the purpose

None of my friends have been caught, I don't know about the punishment. Probably fines and possible loss of CDL. As for troopers searching the cabin, well I guess they could if they had probable cause...

I agree with you on that. I haven't been a GM guy since GMT800 (and even that was a stretch) but I did sit in a few of them at the auto show last year. I was rather surprised at the sea of plastic, even on the higher trim levels

It's nothing new; truckers have been doing this for years. Some drivers carry two logbooks - one for their own personal records - real hours - and one for all the lies

When I showed my wife the new Ram (she's a big Dodge girl) and its knob shifter, the words "What the hell?! Where's my column shifter?" came out of her mouth

Column shifters are nice

Indeed. Unfortunately the 2013+ is a step back
