Bridge Strikes & Low Clearances: Why Your Phone GPS is Dangerous

We see it in the news every week: a semi wedged under a historic bridge because the driver was following Waze or Google Maps. These apps are great for cars, but they are dangerous for us. They don't account for weight limits, hazmat restrictions, or low clearances.

One bridge strike is often an automatic termination. It’s a career-ending mistake that is 100% preventable.

You need a Truck-Specific GPS Navigation System (like the Garmin DEZL or Rand McNally). You input your truck’s height, weight, length, and load type, and it calculates a safe route. It’s not just a gadget; it’s an essential tool for professional routing. Don't risk your license on a free app.
