How to know what roads not to turn on Day/night even though Gps directs you that way??

Enlighten us

 

As mentioned above. Call shipper or receiver. They can tell you of local construction. Low bridge. Roads banned for weight. And the best route and time to come in. Good luck.

 

i never travel on anthing besides the highway when i do get off the stop better be within a mile or two with no to 1 turns or i just refuse the run i dont even bother calling recivers cause they are useless

Chuck Norris once got lost and maps were created strictly for him

 

If I had to choose between a preview on Google maps or to the door gps routing, the gps would be in the trash. Imho nothing beats an aerial view of the destination. Easy to pick out entrances scale locations etc.

 

I love my rand McNally gps here in the northeast it does make things faster and easier. With that being said. I was trained by an old timer and am fully capable of doing it the old school way. I run into drivers all the time here in the northeast who are clueless because the gps went down.

When I go to a new area even though I have my gps on I have already looked at it in the map book or Google to have an idea of where I an going once I get off the highway.

Gps is a useful tool and will helpful just don't rely on it as if it's gods word. Research your route and have an idea of where you are going ahead of time

 

Know where you are going before you get there.

Road construction/Road closures can really mess things up too. Look at a map and get an idea of the streets around the destination and plan an alternate route as a backup.

 

This is not a guaranteed solution but, if the road is numbered greater than 600, be careful, it may not be good for trucks.
700, 800, 900 forget it.

Get a rand McNally map. It shows staa roads ment for trucks which are good. Roads on a map that are not straight and have a lot of bends in them, West Virginia. Are not good.

Get a radio and ask for some local information.

 

Oh and get a Rand McNally GPS. I have tried them all, Rand is the best. Cobra is the worse.

 

I love my Rand McNally map. Dislike the Rand McNally gps GPS is good if you are going up and down the interstate. NOT so good once you get on the two lanes. . Hard map. Internet map. Phone call for directions.
