    I get lost easily and ran into multiple situations where I needed to fall on my google navigate to get me where I needed to be on my first three loads. I ran into a number of situations I shouldn't have got into because it was not a trucker GPS. I am going out with one of those now. I could get lost in a paper bag.

    Yea believe me I'm new to and I've gotten lost countless times do what ur gut say and most the time ur right some of the direction the company sends me are basic and they can confuse you, you will almost have to cut and paste and add ur own lil route in there

    And coopnp works for Roehl as do I and they are a great company very awesome people to work with even the driver are cool.

    Roehl my friend this is the Roehl thread. There's a lot of FL drivers from all over FL that drive for them. I've met tons at terminals always someone new that's from FL.

    And the GPS is good to guide you in so you don't miss turns. That's what I use it for. I follow the routing for the most part. My gps is a truckers GPS, Garmin Dezl around $400 n change. I don't follow it always unless it is following my routing. Before it recalculates to the correct route it sends me to restricted roads, tells me to turn around on the interstate, low bridges that aren't, weight restricted roads that aren't, etc the list goes on. My atlas is better more informative, GPS is a tool not something that over rides your brain function. If it wasn't so expensive I'd through it out the window at a moving train.

    Was wondering that myself. I use dry erase marker on my window all the time. Wipes right off.

    I use the Rand McNally 510 or 520. Was about half the cost if the 720 for 2". I do get tired of hearing speed warning but I really don't want to turn off beacause of the 35 and 45 speed limits
