    Never ever ever ever trust ANY GPS unit. Use a RM Motor Carrier Atlas and Satellite View on Google maps. WRITE DOWN your route with pen and paper. It works every time it's tried. There IS NOT a magic GPS unit on the market by any manufacturer. You MUST know where you are going before you put the key in the ignition.

    I’ve never heard of an RM motor carrier atlas. Are they old or up to date? That would make things a lot easier for me. Thank you for the advice. And where do you buy them?

    Oh boy........where did you go to school? Rand Mcnally Motor Carriers Atlas. You can buy one at any truck stop. I recommend the one with plastic laminated pages. There is tons of information you need in that Atlas. Please ask someone to show you how to find and use that information.

    I’m a local driver and don’t live near a truck stop unfortunately. They never mentioned it in my school. And I don’t have anyone to teach me how to use it. Maybe YouTube has some information about it.
