Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

I am going to look at it this way; I'll take that crap load if it make the dm happy....
Your dm is like your wife! If she ain't happy your not going to be happy. If your dm is happy you'll be happy.

 

I have the 7" rand mcnally gps. I got lucky when TA/Petro were giving away coupons in envelopes for appreciation week for $100 off any GPS.

 

lately its been pretty accurate on most loads to within 100 miles. My current load says 2244 miles and my gps says 2327

 

as a company driver it doesnt matter. you will still get your 0.28 / mile. As a L/O i see crap loads as this... I could either sit and wait for a load which may not come for an extra day or I can take the short load and make SOME money and get another the next day (and be in the planner's good graces). The NE planner seems to ALWAYS give me a 1800+ mile load when im in PA. West coast usually gives me 800-1200. midwest gives me 600-800 but backs up the 1st load usually before i even get to my 99.

 

How do you like that gps? I have been looking at getting one. I do alot of backroad truck'n

 

I love it. It sent me down a wrong road once but in its defense, it didnt know about the 10' low bridge. Since it was in the middle of town.

 

It just wanted to see if you could do the limbo.lol

 

I've seen some out there that will take in account for clearances and weight limits when it sets the route.
That is one I am going to be looking for.

 

it is a truck GPS. The city/state just didnt report the low bridge to the GPS data providers like they are supposed to. Which is why all roads in IL are 55 mph max for trucks when they are not. The only truck speed 55mph interstates are all around chicago. I 74 is 65 but GPS thinks its 55.

 

So in fairness to your gps that would be 1 oops out of how many miles with it being correct?
