The ability to  to read a map proficiently is required. Myself, I use Garmin Dezl780 I like that voice activation hands-free of that unit and the big 7 inch screen for my old eyes, A Rand McNally map for commercial vehicles, Google maps with satellite view when needed, Waze, and truckerpath with traffic and routing enabled. I have never been lost or taken a wrong route. Oh! and be able to read road signs. Especially the one that says not a truck route or has the picture of a truck with a circle with a cross through it. \nBefore! going on any trip I will check the entire route and even use satellite view on Google maps so I can know ahead of time exactly the correct entrance for big trucks and to the docks of my destinations.\nFinally if driving in heavy traffic really bothers you I might think about taking a different career path."}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Everyone is going to tell you something different about each GPS unit available. It boils down to preference, performance, and user interface. I use the Garmin Dezl 770 in conjunction with an Atlas, Google maps (for traffic) & Earth for customer lots, possible obstructions, and company routing suggestion from the Qualcomm. if you can't afford a GPS unit that's around $300. get a refurbished tablet from newegg.com, Amazon, or tigerdirect.com. and load Trucker Path or some other useful tools that you can use along the way while being hands free. Your cheapest option is to start with an updated Atlas and write your route down.","replyToPid":0}
