Yeah - I saw that Rand Mcnally has a 50% of sale now.

If you google GPS + Trucker or something like that, you'll get some results of GPS units that are supposed to be aware (I guess) of "Truck Friendly" routes, clearances, etc.. I think you enter in your truck size (Ht, Wt, Length). I could be confusing this with something else, but I think its accurate info. I'm just holding off to see what they recommend, and just incase I kill myself in a traffic accident .

As for Wi Fi - go to, well I better leave the URL out, I don't know for sure if its permitted - but if you google Wi Fi Radar you can bet the first link on the page will (Should) take care of that problem for you.

 

alabamaspirit I will be there on monday.Did you get your fuel cards yet for showers also there is a great book out there called the next exit it tells you what is off the exit before you exit even has things highlighted in red where trucks can park

alabama can you give me a heads up on the fuel cards?? not quite sure what they are about and how they help you thanks

 

gonnabe the fuel cards are for when you get fuel you swipe the cards at the pump and earn one point for every gallon of fuel these points can go toward showers merchandise so you dont have to pay for them you can get the ta card online it is called the roadking card, flying j is also online frequent fueler card takes about two weeks to get them in the mail. for the pilot card just walk in and ask the cashier for one of the cards can be linked to your trainers card during training so you both get points during your training hope this helps

 

some of the truckstops its free

some you gotta pay prices vary you can get it daily monthly or yearly

gps would be ok but ya gotta double check by the atlas

i use googlemaps or mapquest as reference sometimes
