How Do You Plan Your Routes?

Me too,we learn as we go.

 

Verbal communication what a concept. Just razzin ya! Not too much person to person contact in todays world.

 

So many ropey depend on their GPS they dont focus on anything else

 

Isn't that the truth though.

 

I bet youre one of those drivers that knows every hwy,interstate like the back of your hand aren't you?some have that gift they dont need an atlas.that's how sRay is.he's beendriving over ithirty yrs .i said cont you ever use an atlas what's an atlas he says lol.

 

not all of them, but I've learned quite a few in my 22.75 years out here..

 

I blindly follow my GPS and then inquire here about my next job...

 

I just use a Magic 8 Ball.

 

I bet you ask if they do hair follicle testing...lol

 

I just bought a Dezl 560 from Garmin over the Christmas week (a gift to myself) which does more than I really need including re-routing in the event of accidents which I seldom do without some local guidance. Generally though, when planning my route (I drive mostly in the NE corridor - Maine to Kentucky) I rely on directions given by drivers to my dispatcher with my own little twist... studying the Google Maps for better ways to the stop.
Keep a Road Atlas handy even if you don't use it and know HOW to use it,... it's surprising how many drivers really don't know how to read a map anymore.
Too many people rely on electronic devices and, unlike a good Rand McNally, electronics are NOT reliable.
