Real Miles program

[pepe4158]

Say...one thing Im lacking is a real miles progtam, what i use calculates as the crow files.......which one you guys using?

I use Microsoft Streets and Maps. Then I can drag and drop a different route if need be and it calculates the miles.

One thing I use is Mapquest. The miles are usually pretty accurate and it is FREE!!!!

I use Internet Truckstops Fueldesk Plus, PC Miles, ProMiles, and Microsoft Street & Trips. I try to get the zip codes from shipper to consignee so the miles can be calculated more accurately.

Im going with mapquest, thks G-man, used that before and never even noticed the miles, just used it again and yeah its close. whenever I get a load I always have internet, n the price is right.

Yeah Steve....shoulda bought microsofts, bought Deloreen instead to save a few bucks, kickin myself for that 1 now.

Do you mean Delorme? I didn't realize MS is that cheap. The Delorme runs $70-80. I've been using it for 3 or 4 years and it's closer than any other program I've seen. Personally, I wouldn't switch...of course you need to know how to use it.

Streets and Trips is way better that PC Miler and its cheaper. plus im able to save where i pick up and deliver along with directions

i`ll use mapquest for a quote (since the shipper can look up the route and see the quoted miles) but I rarely use it for directions, alot of the routes they give ya are longer then they need be.
