Hi
I have a Zen stone plus by Creative.It has a capacity of 5GB which is more than enough to carry all of Ray's audios as well as plenty of music.It has an external speaker also (but uses up more power) which is really useful. It's not overly priced either and you can get additional accessories such as car charger etc.
It doesn't come with its own charger but will charge on the computer ,so you would also have to consider the price of a mains charger.
Not being much of a techy myself I find it fairly easy to use.
Hope that helps
Dave

Hi Walt,

You could burn all the mp3's to one CD and play it in your truck, if the CD player is mp3 capable.
PM me if you need some help with that.

george. ;D

My husband drove a truck for 10 years and let me tell you, the rules say one thing, but somehow or another the dispatchers don't read the rule books!! They don't care if you get pulled over by the DOT or the FBI they just want you at your destination YESTERDAY!! >:(

So believe it, you got a lot of hours during the day and night to listen to the ipod!  ;D

I have known many drivers who kept 2 logbooks, one for the ACTUAL time and one for the DOT! My husband was a one logbook driver, but that was because he just wouldn't be pushed around by the greedy dudes in the office! I'm so glad he doesn't drive any more!  :D

Drive on Dudes!!

Well, let me tell you!  ;D

Kathy, I'm very familiar with the ways around the "rules."
Times have changed, yes some still pull the same old tricks. However, you get caught with multiple licenses/log books, now, and your in BIG trouble.

FYI, most States prohibit both ears being coverd by headphones/earbuds while driving.  ;)
You can have one, but not both.

Keep on Truckn.

I'm glad the times are changing! It's crazy to try to things they've done in the past! It really is dangerous. My husband hasn't driven in 9 years now, so I know things are different. Some of those guys that ran 2 logbooks were just big dumb cowboys. Some of them were jerks, but some of them were just hard-working guys with kids to feed. Hopefully those days are over!

Here's something for you guys who drive for a living :-*
I always listened to this when my husband was out on the road! Wherever there was an ice storm he was driving in it, I hated it!

Some of my dad's favorites; could not find any audio on the first one, it's an old song:

Hello I'm a truck

You've heard songs about truck drivers many times their stories told
How they pulled out of Pittsburgh for six days on the road
About the Feather River Canyon and climbin' the old grapevine
That old roadhouse down in Texas and the girls they've left behind
You've heard their tales of daring and I think that's just fine
But if you can spare a minute well I'd like to tell you mine

There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't for us trucks
No double clutching gear jammin' coffee drinking nuts
They'll drive their way to glory and they have all the luck
There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't for us trucks

Well there he sits in that cafe drinking coffee and telling lies
Probably telling 'em how he topped that hill ten miles back
He ought to tell 'em how he missed a gear
And that Volkswagen bus full of hippies passed us like I was sitting up on jacks
Or how we took that curve over on 66
Hadn't been for me hanging on the shoulder we'd both wound up in the ditch

If we're on time he takes the credit if we're late I get the blame
Up those hills with shutters open my stacks are running flame
My tach running red line sucking diesel from the tanks
I take him south and bring him back without a word of thanks
So now you've heard my story and I guess it's my tough luck
There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't for us trucks

There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't for us trucks
No double clutching gear jammin' coffee drinking nuts
They'll drive their way to glory and they have all the luck
There'd be no truck drivers if it wasn't for us trucks

Look at him sipping coffee and flirtin' with that waitress
And where do you think he left me that's right next to cattle truck (moo)
Why couldn't we have put me next to that little pink Mack sittin' over there
Gosh, she's got pretty mud flaps, and talk about stacked, they're both chromed
Well he'll be coming out in a minute and he'll get that bar
And he'll go around and beat on my tires
You know for two pints of diesel I'd have a flat on the inside dual
Ha, that'd fix him
I never did like the way he drives anyhow
Thinks he's God's gift to waitresses he never gives 'em a tip
Well I know what he's gonna do now
He's gonna take out The tape cartridge of Buck Owens and play it again
I don't know why he don't get a Merle Haggard tape

Ahahaha! I remember those songs! Yes those songs are VERY disturbing! ;)
Hey Walt123 who needs mp3 players when you got those goofy old songs on the late night radio stations??
Heehee! How in the WORLD did people tolerate such weird stuff?
Now HERE is the actual best truckin' song ever! One of my favorite movies, too! Love it! ::)

Thanks all for  your comments
It is good to know that some know about trucking,
let explain my job scenario better,hour are service is you can drive
11hrs and 3hrs
"on duty not driving" total 14hr rule.
I don't need to run illegal ,never had to ,just not worth it all around.
Yes I do sit on the job,and have a lot time to listen to more important things
than most of the ?#?# on the radio ,most the time I have the radio off ,and
 think about many things ,and sometimes wonder what makes musicman tick ;D

Thanks again to all
Walt

Oh, that's easy music makes Musicman tick! It's a metronome inside his head! Sometimes it goes a little weird that's when he has those strange visions! :D ;)

Stay safe out there on the road, dude!

Walt,
I use my cell phone. It has external memory that I put Ray's audio on and can play it via the speaker or a head set(one ear only while driving. My old phone had 2 g enough for Rays audios. My new phone has 8 g. all of rays audio, James Earl Jones reading the new testament ton of music and 4 g still available. I use the navigator gps, mobil e-mail and accuweather applications too. And it makes a nice phone. I am a snowplower.
