Ok so I’m new to trucking and its gps counterparts. I bought a Garmin 780 LTMS. Actually this is my second one due to the first one routing me off the highway straight into the woods to get to Honda on the other side. So when I got the second one I thought that would be fixed but Nope. This one does the same and far worse. It has me making U turns mid road instead of taking jug handles sometimes or has me making super sharp rights thas virtually impossible with a truck let alone a car. It also takes longer routes when closer roads are available. This product is just junk. When plotting a new route after you last one it doesn’t calculate distance correctly because it has to find satellites again. Oh yeah also doesn’t reroute you for low bridge. Better off using my phone
NEW GARMIN DEZL 780 & 785

Here maps lacks. Lots of roads not for trucks it still dont have.

Yeah all those setting were done I do P/D for UPS LTL so I use different trailer sizes. I tend to leave it at 65 ft and 13'6 but it still does those goofy things. I understand to use common sense and read signs but for 400 bucks it should be better/ reliable.

Mine made me mad. I'm ltl as well and I run term to term and some times it wouldn't even route me to a terminal. I finally got mad and sold it. -
