    I'm a local driver who does all drop and hook. I keep a Bluetooth radio and pair it with my smart phone. I also have a phone holder that rests in a cup holder so I can change what I'm listening to without holding my phone. I also listen to a lot of podcasts on my areas of interest. I also have my Rand McNally TND 510 Commercial GPS.
     
    sdpetheram Thanks this.

    I of course have a gps, but a good old fashioned motor carriers atlas is a must. I wonder how many newbies out there can even read an atlas lol.

    Another good tool is a spot light, for locating those shippers and receivers with tiny signs in the middle of the night.
