The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recommends that commercial drivers use navigation systems designed for trucks and enter relevant vehicle information so that routing can account for the vehicle.
The same development applies to navigation: its value increases when route information can work alongside the rest of the fleet’s operational data.
The agency also advises commercial drivers to scan ahead for traffic problems, work zones, and other hazards.
Commercial drivers may also need information about truck parking, weigh stations, fuel, and other services that passenger-car navigation does not prioritize.
For Trucker Guide, that is the direction of truck navigation: giving commercial drivers and fleet operations access to road information that reflects the realities of moving heavy vehicles.
