Technology & Telematics · Driver Training VideoTruck GPS & Routing Apps

A car GPS will send a truck under a 12-foot-six overpass, and most bridge strikes trace back to car directions. Drivers learn to enter real height, weight, length, and hazmat status in a truck app and recheck when the load changes.

What drivers learn

Here's the problem in one sentence: the map on your phone doesn't know how tall, how heavy, or how long your rig is. A car GPS will send you down a road with a twelve-foot-six overpass without blinking.

A truck-legal GPS app is different. You enter your real numbers before the wheels move: height with everything on the roof, gross weight, axle weight, length, and whether you're placarded for hazmat.

Three things get people hurt or stuck. First, height changes. An empty flatbed and a loaded one are not the same height. Recheck it every time your load changes, not just once when you got the truck. Second, seasonal load limits.

Your company standard: before you leave the yard, open the truck GPS app, confirm your profile numbers are correct for today's load, and set the destination there, not in a phone map app. If the app and a road sign disagree, the sign wins every time.

None of this is complicated

It's a five-minute setup that keeps you off a road that was never built for what you're driving. Skip it, and the app will happily send you into a bridge, a tunnel, or a dead end with no way to back out.
