Please check reviews from Amazon.
I have the Garmain 155W and love it. It is made for cars but works well as a trucking tool.
Microsoft Street and Trips I read is very good but it is a software program and not a GPS. -
I use the verizon VZ Navigator. Its 10 bucks per month but it is on most newer cell phones. It has truck routes and has never tried to lead me under a low bridge. It works great IMO. Only complaint is that in cities sometimes it doesnt update quick enough if the roads are very close together

I am reading and hearing rave reviews of the new Garmin Nuvi 465T Truck Gps. Costs around $500.00 bucks though.
Here is a review of this unit:
Verdict: Hands Down the Best GPS For Truckers
Review Highlights
- Garmin's first nuvi designed for the trucking industry. Easily switches between Automobile and Truck modes
- Navigates routes based on your truck's type, load, height, weight, length, and hazardous load restrictions
- Pre-loaded with NTTS Breakdown Directory
- Lacks some of the features found on higher-end Garmin nuvi 7x5 models, but still leaps and bounds better than any other trucking-friendly GPS out there
The nuvi 465T also includes free lifetime traffic, Bluetooth wireless, speaks street names, and comes with a pre-loaded NTTS Breakdown Directory. When not driving a truck, the 465T can be put into standard vehicle mode, and functions as any other Garmin nuvi. -
I got a GARMIN NuVII. A freind of a freind bought a new Honda and it came with the car, he didnt need it, so it now is mounted on the windshield of my truck. Works fine...
