1) Delivering to any WALMART facility!!!! They are the WORST place in the world to deliver to if your not a Walmart driver. They put the distribution centers in the middle of no where and then do not let you in sooner than one hour before your unload appointment. For those that don't know this WALMART decides WHEN they unload you. You do not request a time. WALMART dictates when you unload. IF you miss it, you can have to wait 24 hours or more until the next time WALMART (feels) like unloading you.
2) The drivers second issue is driving for a company that uses this type of tracking/log book computers.
When I first retired I drove in the winters for several local companies. I might do a trip each week or maybe one a month. The 10 and 14 hour rules that went into effect in 2005 are a JOKE. You are just about NEVER legal. There are few factories/shippers where you do not wait for hours to load and unload. So your eating your 14 hours onduty time up. The opposite is true too. I just don't think any driver is safe driving 10 hours straight. It is much better with breaks but if you unload and reload in that 14 hours you will not have the time for any breaks.
I will/would NEVER drive for any company that uses these type of systems. They actually create a more unsafe environment.

I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
