    "I have had a few friends follow a truck GPS (top of the line Rand McNally) and wound up on a non- truck route and got a nasty ticket"

    This all depends on the route, if the restriction is posted, how current their maps are, what they are running for truck settings, and other factors. Some cities post "No-Truck" routes and do not make it to the state level to be incorporated into the restriction DB.

    If they remember the roads they got a ticket on, I would like to know to see if that restriction is in place.
