Driving a truck for a living can be some pretty hard work. Most people think that all you do is drive, but truck drivers know better than that. You have to route out your trip, see if there are any restricted routes in each state, get the height and weight requirements in each state, get your fuel stops along the way and so much more. That can eat up a lot of your time. By the time you have done all this, do you really have time to sit down and eat? How about calling your family to see how everything is going? If your routing out your trip or even trying to get your GPS to give you the route and still doing all the necessary paperwork for that trip, you probably don’t have time to do anything else but that and drive.
If you are a truck driver, what would it be like to just call a company, that specializes in truck routes, and get all the information you need without looking it up yourself? You would probably have a lot more time to do other things, like concentrate on your job, or call the family. You could actually catch a nap, or at least get a restful sleep knowing that your trip is planned out for you by someone who won’t give you out of route miles or put you on a restricted route. How about low clearances? Wouldn’t it be nice if someone actually checked that for you and kept you on a safer route?
If you are a company truck driver, wouldn’t it be nice if your company’s dispatch looked out for you instead of giving you directions that didn’t include if you were going north, south, east or west, or worse yet, giving you directions that puts you on a path that would have you delivering a bridge?
