Common sense VS. GPS

I think the main problem is the megas recruiting in the prison system, and getting inmates sentences reduced if they will sign a contract to drive for a year after school....

Or so it seems...

 

You are right, it is called common sense. I work with Truck GPS software daily and it is a tool. You the person have to use the Gray Matter to make the final decision.

 

Let's say you are so stupid and useless, that you can't get a job anywhere. Then you come across a mega trucking company and bum! you have a job! Does not matter that you don't have any common sense, you passed a physical exam and have a good MVR, nothing else matters.

 

If a troglodyte with a CDL doesn't have the brains or common sense to use a GPS responsibly, then I'm pretty sure they risk overload and perhaps a fatal paper cut attempting to navigate the complexities of a road atlas.

 

Road Atlas, note book, Google satellite on final details - have plan in hand, and go forth.

Still without a GPS after 13 years.

Still haven't been featured on the front page of any local newspapers - maybe they do it for the fame?

 

Why you ask because ppl solely depend on the GPS .People are too lazy to read signs and too lazy to use common since then if something happens the idiots blame their GPS. All they do is drive and let GPS do all there thinking for them.

 

A laptop computer with internet so as to use Google maps is a great tool too, esp once you are in the area where you pickup or deliver to. There are so many little, bitty towns out there that have weight restrictions on the road you think you need to be on. Scrolling a road helps a lot, you can also see if there is a train trestle when you see tracks, a low weight posted bridge over water, etc. It takes a little more time to plan, but well worth the double protection of making sure just in case. Husband has even been on one road in OH at an egg farm, where the best looking road to get back to the highway was posted no trucks because of horses in the area and their riders; this would not have even been on a Rand McNally Atlas. Now if they could just teach this in classes instead of turning some of the brain deads loose on the public.

 

No follow the green line mindlessly...... thank you
