Trans Am Still

I have a mcnallly atlas. 2014 or 2015 not sure but i got it from a truck stop for $9.99. Thatshould tell you its not laminated. Guess i need to work on a gps and a cb radio.

 

A GPS is a tool. Likewise use it as such. Don't swear by it or you will end up taking wrong routes, go over bridges that aren't weighed properly, and end up going the wrong way down a one way st plus some.

 

Yea i read about and saw the ptl driver that went on the cross walk

 

Don't cause any trouble and maybe she won't want to kill you.

You have earned a nice break, take the extra days and enjoy!

 

That's what the King started with truckertravis .....I think I bought his at a yard sale.It will do the job. After awhile you will have points at the truck stops, (Have you applied for cards, yet?), I don't think the King as ever had to pay for an atlas or a truck stop book.

Keep your eyes open and you should be able to find a good deal on a CB and a GPS. Surprisingly, you can also order a Rand McNally GPS for truckers online at WalMart.com .....and you can put the extra warranty on it. They also have reconditioned ones from Rand McNally online at WalMart. A good bluetooth headset is essential.....do you have one?

 

Here is the link for the GPS units at WalMart

And here is the one for the Blue Parrot headset. The extra 2 year warranty is only $9.00....well worth it.

I didnt know I could apply for cards. I thought itwas company issued. Can i do it online? My. Mother in law is getting me a truckers headset as a xmas gift(late xmas gift) im about to look into the truckers gps as well. As for cb's like you said i'll just have to keep eyes my open.

 

It's just the rewards cards for the various truck stops where you will be fueling at, the company will supply your cards to purchase fuel.( Sorry, I didn't explain that very well). All of the guys can tell you a little more about it.....they aren't much but they do add up over time.

 

We had a little list started on the blog of some of the things that the drivers recommend as far as headsets, CB's, etc.-
