Everything I am saying here is done in a nice and friendly manner, ok
Are you prepared to spend a bunch of money.....like a grand or more?
No, ok...then forget the GPS for now. If you have a laptop, get MS S&T, run your routes both as "quickest and shortest"....cross check them on your MCA and look for truck restrictions and low clearances. You can also buy a copy of PC Miler, which is significantly more expensive.
I am not an advocate of a new driver using a GPS. Yes, I know all the reasons for using technology. But being old school, I can go point to point, know the shortest routes to 99% of the places in the country...and learned them without the aid of expensive "technology". An MCA, a ruler, a pen and a piece of paper will do it all just fine.
This brings to mind the story about the guy who drove his tractor and trailer under that low bridge....
while looking at his GPS... :shock: :shock:
You have enough on your hands being new and in that tractor. You need to learn how to route with hand tools and your brain....write down the route and follow it.
