    RM showed me driving in the river on I-65 north leaving Louisville on the "new" bridge into Indiana. SLC, most of the newer industrial & warehouse district is not well depicted in the database.

    I've never been half as lost as when I was in a hurry, just punched in an address, and followed directions! Always get the big picture first & then read through the list of steps & confirm they make sense in the big picture.

    I deliver to alot of jobsites. I use a map or my Garmin to get to the general area and then google satellite view to finish the route alot of times. Most new apt complexes are on new roads that do not show up on my gps.

    Depending on your company...

    Rewards change. For example, at Landstar we get 10 points a gallon in TAs, 2 points a gallon in the fish hook, and yes, 1 point per gallon at Loves.

    Just use google maps or apple maps and common sense. If you dont have common sense then please, stay off my roads. Thank you.

    You could look at Trucker Path it’s an app you can run on tablet or phone. My company puts the free version on the tablet. I had already had a paid subscription. So when I logged in got to to use it on my company tablet hook to dash that run ELD app.

    Trucker path is good in my option. It routes you to truck entrance. It’s $99 a year but you can pay by the month but they charge more. You can download their map data now so it not always relying on cell data connection. You can try it for free for 7 days.
     
    nextgentrucker and tscottme Thank this.

    Unless you have an intern
    Connection while driving, the gps won't give real time info. Google will show traffic slow down and stoppages in real time. But it's for cars. Run them simultaneously.

    The deals come and go. They always have a deal on something going on. The key is don't waste your points on food and drinks so your points accumulate rather than get flushed down the toilet.

    Trucker Path constantly shows Google Traffic while also providing the parking status and routing, if you choose to use it for those. I left Trucker Path running on my phone while driving & my GPS navigating. I can still see the burned-in image of Trucker Path on one of my old phone's screens. EVERY COP IS LOOKING TO CATCH YOU TOUCHING YOUR PHONE, so only do it when none are around, if you have to do it.
