    So i got my next load and this is the furthest I've gone so far, from ardmore oklahoma to pasadena Texas, about 390 miles.

    They sent me another message with this losd details saying to not use personal GPS as there are low bridge along the way.

    How can I identify where these bridges were and the best route to take ? If not too much someone help me?

    Have you tried using the Hammer GPS that TTR has put out? What is the height of your load/Truck?

    Do you have a truck specific GPS such as Rand McNally or Garmin DEZL etc?. That should be fine. When they mean personal GPS they mean Google maps or Waze etc as those won't account for truck heights

    Yeah idk what type but it definently doesn't take Google maps roads. I've compared the 2 and it takes longer routes but I think they're more truck friendly
