you can also bookmark the page. OR better yet. PRINT. still free. with truckstops and fuel prices.

 

ok thanks guys i took the 10 to the 20 30 40 81 then i forgot what else but i got the job done i paid about 100 dollars in tolls but the funny thing is i still have a pallet of merchandise and the warehouse said it isnt theirs got a load in the box with the extra pallet right now what should i do

 

Depends on what it is and how your signed bills were noted. But don't send in an empty until you handle this product, one way or the other. Unsure, best to call night dispatch. Good luck, late Friday night is a bad time to deal with OS&D.

 

Bookmarking saves the location. It still requires a connection in order to pull up the page again. When's the last time you priced printer ink? Because that certainly is NOT free. If you do a printout for each trip, it won't take you very long to see that the road atlas is the less expensive option in the end. It's a good resource you pointed out, but it does have its limitations. Remember Murphy's Law - if it can go wrong, then it will, and always at the worst possible time. So a few bucks spent on a road atlas in order to have something to fall back on in those instances would seem a pretty sound decision. Not to mention you can drop, throw, and kick a road atlas and it'll still be operation. One good drop of that laptop could have a very disastrous end. Then where are you if you were reliant solely on your laptop?

 

Now Im really confuse--you went the long way--then up 81--goin to Jersey and you STILL paid 100 in tolls? where?

 

in jersey by the bridge

 

I use a Road Atlas, a cell phone and a notepad but will occaisionally refer to Google maps for routing options or local info......that's it, that's all you need!! GPS and all this other crap is for rookies or intreverts..............

 

You mean when you left? You dont pay any tolls goin into jersey--or did you go into NYC?

 

Ok now i see from your other post you actually went into NYC--everyone that was tryin to help you get up there--probably could have saved you some of that $100 also had you stated where you were actually going
