GPS's Against Company Rules Now?

How long have you been solo Rug_Trucker? I've only been solo since June 13 but the miles I produce extrapolated out to a year equal out to platinum status--108,000 miles or more.

Wonder if the Rand McNally would fit on cell phone? lol
Would be nice to have a cell phone GPS for trucks then you wouldnt hafta remember to take it outta the truck.
I have googled somethings for hubby tho an then he matched em to Swifts directions an shippers directions.

 

I'm wondering if it's just one fleet perhaps? We've not seen a thing on it. Of course the only thing I actually use the GPS for is milage. I plan my routes out myself and we do a great deal of repeat.

I've asked my DM to find out.

 

They will use a GPS detector that is installed in your Qualcomm LOL

 

Most smart phones have them.

 

Smart phones have em for trucks or cars? Mine is for cars.

 

For cars but they are good to help keep me informed. NO ONE should rely on GPS. But they are a good tool.

Mine is google based so I get the image of the place I'm going to instead of going in blind.

 

Lathrop sent out the ban message also ... I've also had 2 instances where GPS was right and maptuit was wrong.

I get too much other info from GPS to give it up ... Like an accurate speed. Irene actually tops out at 69.5 even though the speedodmeter sez 68.

 

Was told in orientation they are installing gps systems in all trucks. A few trucks are testing them now.
