    You gotta computer don't you?

    Do we have to make a new forum? Questions from Old Drivers! :)

    Some chains and a couple cans of Beanie Wienies and you'll be all right. Take note which way the wind is blowing and drive that direction.

    Why would you not have a gps?
    What fleet you hauling for?
    No maps?
    Do you have a smartphone?

    Sounds like you have a lot of "haven't and don't haves"..

    Maps should be the closest to a solution without GPS.

    I hope you have a hatchet and some flint and steel, you're going to need to build a shelter and hunt beaver for the pelts ti make sniw boots....on a serious note a smartphone should help, or, maybe a watch and sextant.

    can't force myself into this century so no gps for me.
    most certainly not a fleet type driver.
    i have a 2011 trucker atlas,paperback edition,well worn.
    i did purchase a smartphone but have not switched it over from my dumb phone.i am just opposed somehow.

    can you assist me w/some options for driving in this? i am not a technology driven driver for the most part.
     
    pattyj Thanks this.

    I thought he was joking. I'm the same though and depended on my XM Radio truckers channel.

    Wow Raining and it may snow? Man you are SCREWED! What about calling your Momma and checking to see if she knows where you can get a warm cup of soup? And stay put because if you cry hard enough someones Momma will show up and shelter you from the storm! Buddy after all of this time I feel sorry for you that you have not moved into the modern tech knowledgy phase! Maybe if you pull out on the interstate I'm sure you can find that right? get on the either West or South bound side and just drive slowly with your flicker flashers on till you are passed either by a set of wiggle wagons, those are the short trailers that wiggle going down the road or a Orange truck or one with a side ways W on the side of it that says SWIFT, Follow any of these three and they will get you safely to where you need to be. Good Luck, let us know how this works out for ya!
