PC Miler gps for truckers and ice road truckers too? WOW!

admin | June 12, 2010 | 176 Comments

PC miler gps a useful tool, not so much for ice road truckers however.

PC miler is a household name amongst truckers and trucking companies alike.  PC Miler also know as ALK Technologies is a  clear leader in  routing and mileage software for the trucking industry. ALK is a privately held company out of New Jersey which formed in 1979. They have revolutionized tracking, mapping, out of route variance for truckers in the trucking industry, from the small time independent trucker to the large trucking companies.

GPS for truckers over the last five years have become all the rage.

(I feel it is not necessary but can see how it would be a useful tool, I still don’t own one, old school perhaps?)

Alk Technologies entered the market full force of course. I have heard reports that the original devise for truckers failed to live up to its promise.

(unclear voice, low volume, horrible mapping, etc)

It seems that ALK Technologies must listen to their costumers because the reports on the newer gps units have been great. I have had the pleasure to run with a couple guys who owned the gps units, they seemed happy with the results.

I have seen some video recently that made me take a second look at this company, which is why I’m writing this article. As most of you know by now Trucker Steve is a partner for google who makes original video content about the trucking industry on youtube. There are many benefits to working with google to list a few.

  1. Superior search engine placement on youtube ( I dominate the front page for all search terms trucker, trucking etc. Not only above the fold but 50% of the results.)
  2. Brandable content , channel and view pages far beyond the common user. (sales and rents on my content as well)
  3. Analytics on my viewers that would blow your mind at the information google tracks (which helps me see what my audience likes or dislikes. The search terms trucker, trucking is watched over 6 million times a month I get 40,000 views a day on average.)
  4. access to internal information that will keep me creating content that lands on the front page.
  5. Not to mention the money, fame and hot women. ( I’m Kidding) not about the money or the women, lol.
  6. Proprietary Rights Over Uploaded Content
    YouTube Partners own the copyrights & distribution rights to ALL of their own uploaded videos without exception. If you upload a video and are not a partner, YouTube has the right to manage and disseminate that video within youtube.com as they see fit.  Read more about youtube partners

To keep up with latest trends in my niche I watch as much video content as possible about the trucking industry. I couldn’t help but see this video and thought to myself  “WOW, this is a really pathetic promo video for PC miler, I hope they didn’t pay someone for this.”

The first thing I thought was ” Why and the #$#@ would they have a ice road trucker endorsing this product”  it don’t make much sense to me as if he would use it to begin with? When I looked at the gps for truckers by pc miler I never seen ice roads on the map. To me it seems really desperate, nothing against Alex Debogorski he seems like a decent guy.

The second thing I notice was right at the 32 second mark in the video. I was like “what!!! Oh no they didn’t” it is not uncommon to see videos on youtube with spelling errors but in a paid production? Please come on someone should be fired for over looking this and making PC MILER look bad.

The third thing I noticed was at the 50 second mark in the statement ” improving over all driver efficiency” I would say anyone that needs a GPS unit from pc miler to be efficient probably shouldn’t be in the trucking industry to begin with. It is a luxury not a necessity.

The forth thing I noticed. ” Avoid costly fines and tickets” How is that PC MILER? I have seen and heard many stories of drivers (all tho dumb) using your device and getting stuck on a route common sense should have told them not to take. I seen a guy using a PC MILER device who following under strict command of his GPS like it was GOD make a turn onto a rail road track of course after traveling across the ditch and getting smacked by a train.

GIVE ME A BREAK PC MILER ! I have more to say but the phoniness of this promo is pissing me off like they think where all dumb and can’t live with out them? PSSSSTTTT

If he continues to post these objectionable comments, which go way over the line, he will be thrown off this site.

    @junglegeorge58 Everything is a Hollywood production for idiots these days. But not Dirty Jobs. Dirty Jobs is good. Deadliest Catch is good too. I like Metallica. Merle Haggard is good. Peaches are good. I want to visit Georgia and find a nice girl to marry.

    Lisa keeps that ice strong and firm……it’s just what she’s best at doing! ;)

  13. studpuppy69 says:

    @Nighthawk262 Lisa is not all that. This is Ice Road Truckers not local night at the strip club. I don’t think you would tell Lisa you touch yourself at night thinking about her either.

    @pkstar86 In this day in age, you sometimes got to keep your mouth shut. I am speaking from experience here, A boss doesn’t need crap like that. One woman to another, I would have done the same thing.

  16. 77gpsj says:

    @seweratty HERE HERE, MAN!!!! We came up with a nickname for fuckups here in the northern ab/bc patch….. we call them IRTs! These highway haulin hammerheads would last 4 seconds on a “took to long to finish the last hole in the spring” rig move….. although it would be an episode worth watching!! watchin these fucktards chase a sow around for a couple hours before they are allowed to drive!!!

  17. LVDVSMAGNVS says:

    do you know why the big guy got busted?

  18. Hoopermazing says:

    @studpuppy69 You’re either crazy or stupid if you think that Lisa isn’t acutely aware that she’s the hottest thing on the ice road and exactly what that gets her. Do you thing that Carey Hall and Jack Jesse would have deigned to train her as a push-driver if she wasn’t a smoking hot young thing? Get serious.

    @BumJuiceDrinker shut your fucking mouth, you are not a men, you are a big shithead

  20. studpuppy69 says:

    @Hoopermazing On the Ice Road yes, in the real world no.

  21. Hoopermazing says:

    @studpuppy69 Well, she’s not my type at all. However, she is the type of enough of the American television viewing public, that she is the star of two television shows.

  22. How mnay think she got a part of the show to spice it up adn get higher ratings heil. I mena put up a hand. She is pretty nice though.A picnic with some pinguins along had been awesome^^
