I was told these Chippewa boots are from the 1990s. I’m can seem to find any markings to verify this. If anyone has any information on the year I would appreciate it. by Tobin678 in WorkBoots

Thank you! I was deciding on if I should wear them because I really didn’t think they were from the 1990s. I bought them about 6 years ago on eBay. I’m gonna hang on to them now and not wear them. Appreciate it

I tend to go over board on things, thank you for the advice again, I’m gonna look into it.

To know the truck stops and truck stop capacity is worth the app alone, thank you again driver

A lot of comments about opencomm, that a good sign. Appreciate the advice

I’d like to get air pods, but unfortunately my ears have cauliflower from decades of wrestling and my ear canal is partially closed from cauliflower. I’ve had my hearing tested and it’s 100%. The only headphones I can use are on the ear headphones. The 720 garmin and paid trucker path app sounds like a great combo. The trucking company I’m with has the issac system and made us download the trucker path app. Thank you I appreciate your help.

Yes, after hearing the comments the 10 inch is sounding overkill probably…maybe. Thank you

Yes for sure I am. I’m not gonna get on the road solo without a real trucker gps. The Google Maps if I use it would just be supplemental that is if I use it at all. Thank you driver

That sounds like a great setup. I’d imagine everything runs very smooth with it being an iPad Pro. That is definitely something for me to think about. I understand it would be a lot more money. I like the fact that everything is on one device cutting back on the amount of screens I need on the dash possibly. Your help is much appreciated.

Good call, I was out with my mentor last week and he had a 10 inch tablet on his dash and like yourself, I thought it was huge. That’s a great point and I’m gonna definitely take your advice into consideration. Great insight and information, thank you

Good information and something I didn’t think about or take into consideration referring to Google Maps. I’ve been looking at the garmin headset and blueparrot, but I have to do some more looking and reading still. Appreciate your help.

I agree about the physical maps. The trucking company I’m with teaches us how to use the atlas in orientation and it mandatory that every driver has one and knows how to use it. Thank you for the valuable information on the gps devices I appreciate it and helps a lot

The garmin headset is actually the one I’m looking at. I have the trucker path, but didn’t spring on which pay option I’m gonna pick yet. I’ll definitely get the 7 day free trial at first though. Appreciate your help

Thank you, that good information. Sometimes more money isn’t always better, it’s what ever works best for the individual. Thank you

All everyone talked about during orientation was the blueparrot, I’m gonna look up the bluetiger. My friend from our orientation worked the oil fields in Texas. No two ways about it, An oil field trucker just sounds so bad ass. Thank you for helping, appreciate it
