Paper or plastic?

I have both, use neither. I do the same run every week, fuel at the same T/S every week, see the same docks every week am in the same places every week, sleep at the same places every week, and get home every week at the same time. Here's what I'm thinking about doing with both my atlas and GPS.

"For Sale, one used Rand McNally Truckers Atlas 2008 Edition, slightly used and missing the cover. Own this atlas just like the big riggers do". Selling Cheap, $1.95! Also for sale,

"One Rand McNally TND 510 Truckers GPS. Very colorful screen, great for those lonely nights driving down the highway for entertainment purposes". $5.95. Buy both for $7.00 and save .90 cents. Will throw in a pair of slightly used fingerless gloves to the first buyer in the next 10 minutes.

 

I use my paper map and check out the route online if it's an area I'm not too familiar with. It's good for the 'local' directions to the customer if they're tricky.

The problem with GPS is the 'driver view' they show, it limits the driver's ability to really know where they're going other than just following "turn left/turn right".

 

Number of times I said "Shaddup Stupid" over the CB during my first dozen years driving: Perhaps five

Number of times I've said "Shaddup Stupid" (or any variation thereof) to my GPS units over the last two years: lost count.

 

I found the receipt the other day for my first GPS. $400. They cost $100 today for a similar one.

I have one now that tells jokes on them dead stretches. He is rather funny. I downloaded it.

 

I finally just muted mine, got tired of the never ending "recalculating....."

 

I seldom use the voice. I like to pretend it's my ex and I can just....well, you know.....

 

No gps here....waste of perfectly good $$$...

 

I'll stick with the old map book,between the radio,squak box,and m pesky 4 wheelers dont think I really need thing else yelling at me.LOL
