Free Maps and Visualization Tools You Should Be Using

Truck drivers have one of the most important and demanding jobs. They have to contend with long hours, inclement weather, treacherous terrain, and other drivers, all while pulling a big rig behind them and ensuring that the goods they are towing arrive at their intended destination safely and on time.

Fortunately, thanks to technology, the job of a truck driver has gotten a lot less tedious and much safer. Smartphones and GPS devices have simplified things like finding the safest, fastest routes, and provide insight on inclement weather. What’s more, a lot of the information that can be accessed via these devices is free!
