{"replyTo":"","text":"Don’t think that there is a universal best way to go about it. If I’m OD I personally check permits check routing and specific time restrictions for routes. I plan where I plan to park for the night I’ll check weather along route and if I’m unsure of particular road or place I’ll pull it up on google earth along with shipper/ receivers to get a general idea of what the areas look like occasionally I’ll check specific turns in google earth street view  along route to plan how I’m going to manoeuvre through it so I’m prepared I don’t like surprises. If I’m running the NE I always make sure I have enough cash for the tolls just in case. ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"My company gives me freedom on routing which has its pros and cons more pros but usually have no idea how to get into places or where in the world some of these places or city’s are. Best practice is calling the customers for the last 5-20 miles. Gps no matter the type tend to go all crazy in bigger cities anyway. I’ll sometimes write down main streets or hwys I have to get on. But I love my Garmin for overall getting to right city also can set routes and it will not change one me and I use my apple maps for the traffic and occasionally I’ll follow it on suggested routes if I’m familiar with the area but I reference my atlas for restricted routes and low clearances also. And google earth satellite street views and overhead for ideas on landscape and turns ","replyToPid":0}
