","text":"That’s good. I’m a local driver, not getting out of my 150 air mile circle. And I’ve been driving since 2000. So I’ve seen most of the areas and roads I will be on. Just don’t want to put $300 or more into a truck GPS for no more than I’ll use it. Figure I can pay that $10 a month until I get used to the customers we have in our little area, and then cancel it. Thanks. ","replyToPid":413395}

Any of the GPS systems can lead a trucker into problems.  \nFor now, I  am a company driver.  Allow me to add, company makes a suggested route, and get a bit bent if you don't follow it.  I for one, and would recommend to any driver, buy a professonal grade commercial Altas. Check the suggested route and plan your best route.  if the company route is wrong, and many times it is.  call dispatch and have them change it. Explain why and any reasonable company will make the route adjustments.

{"replyTo":"","text":"In my experience rand McNally is not as good as Trucker's Path in the big cities but is better in rural areas.  Trucker's Path struggles in small towns and can sometimes not tell where you are when you have low bars.  Also, Garmin is more reliable for navigation but you need good internet to update their GPS maps.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Key word being 'Reasonable' company.  After hearing  'Your the driver...' whenever calling in any problems.  That became a modified goto statement when disputing routes too.  \n'I'm the driver. There is a total of 108 miles of road construction with a projected four hour  delay on the suggested route. \n If we move to this new route I just emailed to you, it is only 62 miles longer but we get there three hours sooner, and it's more safe.'\n'Reasonable' right?","replyToPid":413438}

","text":"I started driving tractor trailers in 2000. Know all about the atlases. They are good to get point a to point b. But no atlas can get you from the interstate to the customer. And I remember all too well, having to call customers for directions. Sometimes they are right, and sometimes wrong. And I remember driving through cities at 2am at 5mph with a flashlight out the window, to try and see road signs so I wouldn’t miss a turn, and building numbers, so I wouldn’t miss the entrance. Thanks, but no thanks. LOL. I’ll always carry my atlas in case I get in a bind and the gps is out. But I’ll use the gps lol. ","replyToPid":413436}
