That is just too funny.
But the RM is certainly better than the QC, most of the time.
There have been a few times when the QC GPS has been more accurate to my destination than my RM.
When it has been so, it is usually with an address that is different than what is in my load assignment. It seems that sometimes that QC has different information as to the actual location, such as entering from a different street.
And it has sometimes been in a completely different part of town.
Always check both, if you have them - especially if there are no written directions available on the QC.
Freaking Qualcomm/GPS frustrations! Any suggestions?

I've had my share of drivers who went out of their way to deliver, the last one was last year, delivering in Sacramento from Toledo and taking a southern route.
If there is a reasonable deviation, I can accept that but what my point really is that is costs actually more to micromanage a driver than it costs to just let them do their job.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
If hiring someone to micromanage your drivers costs $50,000, with another $25,000 in miscellaneous costs, but allows you to get/keep a contract that increases your net revenue (after "normal" expenses) by $100,000 would you start micromanaging your drivers?
I know you work with your contractors on choosing loads that result in higher revenue while minimzing expenses. The megas are doing the same, just at a larger scale and with more basic concepts . -
The best thing I could have ever done for myself to get me out of the habit of relying on my gps was hauling sugar beets. Pulling doubles with a long dolly. You can’t back those things so it only took one wrong turn and getting stuck to train myself to make #### sure I can get out of where where I’m turning/going. Whether that be stopping and looking way up the road or planning ahead and figuring a route that I know will work. Best advise? Go drive doubles or triples for a bit.

Bottomline you can.t blame your GPS for not planning your route
