Don't blindly follow your GPS
#41
Most places have signs that tell you if there is a weight or height limit at the start of the road.

Excellent advice!! I was driving a "SAG" car, following one of our drivers. For over an hour I wondered where he was going!
I had reviewed the directions given and looked at Streets & Trips and discovered that the map programs were going to try to send us to a wrong location -30 miles from where we were supposed to be. The driver was blinding following the GPS - he never ever looks at a map. I followed him right to the WRONG location. Fortunately there were no unexpected weight limit or no trucks signs along the way. For the next few weeks he left his GPS at home and counted on me to know where to lead him. (I will refrain from telling you what I think of this driver.....) I always consult a map or a map program, and I almost always have written directions to my destination. It's important to do your 'homework' before just driving into a situation that you either cannot get out of or that you can be penalized for.

Why.......You think he is the GREATEST driver you have ever hired.....and wish you had twenty more just like him!!!
