    I figured it might be a little exaggerated but, still would like to know if your company provides you with a certain route on trips or are you pretty much free to pick your own route? What brand of GPS are you using?

    Our company GPS is a total joke. So before I even was assigned a truck , I bought my own gps. Which is a Rand McNally. Usually 98% accurate.

    There are always going to be roads in every state that don't seem wide enough for trucks. OH is not really the East coast. You'll hate CA, WA OR and those states that hate trucks. But you'll have to figure out what works for you. I ran everywhere including Canada for years then just regional, then I wouldn't run anything but the East coast because the rates were much better for me. No offence to any one but CA can fall in the ocean I'd miss the trees but that's it.

    You're absolutely correct about the road condition differs in every state. But since I only run East Coast , I've been to Maine. But that was only with my trainer. Haven't gone pass NJ since I've been alone. I appreciate the knowledge my friend
