My Qualcomm MCP50 Experience

I started my own trucking company about 15 years ago. It started as just a small fleet of 10 trucks. We hired mostly family and a few close buddies of mine in the beginning. Now my company has grown to a fleet of 150 trucks. We are successful but I new with all the modern technology there had to be a way to take it to the next level.

Luckily I found my answer on this site. I’ve been a regular here for years. During my latest visit I found they offer the Qualcomm MCP50. I've heard a lot of good things about Qualcomm over the years. Like...

 
GPS Units Do NOT Drive Trucks
I read a report the other day blaming truckers GPS units for truck-bridge collisions. I’ve been a trucker for 25 years and have never driven my truck into a low overpass. I’ve driven all over the United States, including New York where the article was stating a rise in collisions. When I first started driving we used maps. We knew how to read clearance signs and knew the exact height of our truck to make sure we would fit. That’s not to say some people didn’t get themselves wedged under bridges from time to time, but we didn’t blame the map when it happened. I just think the blame needs to be spread around some for this rise in accidents.
 
An Extra 12V Outlet
My RV has quite a few 12V outlets, but with all the devices designed for 12 volt use I wanted to add on an extra accessory outlet. I’m pretty handy so I didn’t think I would have any problem with the task. I ordered the 12 volt extension outlet from your site. After I received my order I got all ready to add the new 12V outlet and began to second guess myself. Although I could visualize what needed to be done I just started thinking maybe I was forgetting a step or mixing up the order in which the steps should be completed.
 
RV Mattress
I bought a used RV for a great price that just needed a little TLC. It hadn’t been used in a couple years and the interior was really outdated. All in all it was a great deal. We want to have everything done and ready for a road trip as soon as the weather breaks. The wife and I got started replacing and rearranging, really making the place suit our needs. There wasn’t a whole lot needing fixed so the job went faster than expected.

After taking care of the necessities we decided to add some luxury items. We replaced the 12V TV and refrigerator with newer models. We added in some 12 volt fans and an RV GPS. While picking out some travel pillows and blankets to keep in the RV my wife decided we needed a new mattress. I didn’t have the first clue where to look for a replacement mattress for an RV. I also wasn’t too sure we would find a reasonably priced mattress. Well, what the wife wants the wife gets so I began my search.
 
Keep Your Vehicle Warm This Winter

One of the main objectives in the winter is to stay warm. When you are home you can relax in front of the fireplace or snuggle under a blanket in front of the TV. When you are on the road you don’t have these options available. Your only option is to turn the heater on full blast and hope the cool air doesn’t find its way in. Unfortunately some car heaters don’t work well enough, and in others the car heater doesn’t work at all. Not only can you not warm your vehicle so you can be more comfortable, there is no way to defrost the windows.
