For anyone out there new to this, whether you do local or long distance, I highly recommend buying a GPS( if your company doesn't provide one) They aren't perfect and nothing can help you if the dispatcher gives wrong information to you. But it has saved me much time and aggravation in doing this job for six months.
Do some shopping around, I purchase mine for $400 (discontinued, refurbished) from Amazon.com or Ebay. I don't leave home without it ( or a set of maps and an atlas just in case.)
