Hey, as a new driver looking to get into the industry could anyone tell me what the best GPS unit is for being out on the grid? Also does anyone carry a tablet with them to stay updated with spreadsheets?

Welcome.
Garmin makes the best GPS. Which model you want will depend on if you're a van or truck.
A tablet is good. I still use an abacus, so can't help you there.

Tell us about yourself, your name, your plans.

And good luck.
