    Sometimes thats helpful-tho mine sometimes doesn't have an updated speed on it...pass a 55sign and 3 miles later I'm still "speeding" bc it has 30 stored for that road area. I love the fuel consumption and total miles for the day when I power off. Saves counting all the states totals and or modifying as necessary.

    We'll another unproductive day. Got to get some barbells for my eyelids so I can keep my eyes open when I been up all day. Should be a better day tmrw since all I have to do is put that e log on the drive line and roll till I hit that snow that's on my front door. Flagger Colorado is where I'm laying my head. G nite folks I'm going to bed.

    That is one of the handy things on a GPS. Truckers versions will show the commercial speed limit if Different form the cars.

    Just need to get the maps updated on occasion via the net.

    It may have been my computer skills but it came with live traffic I think it's called and forgot what else but you had to enter this promo code. Any way after I was done said never again. lol honestly I think it will be fine tool in the hands of a trained professional. Anybody know if you can still get one those
