A big meaty call out to the best thing about trucking. Google Maps.
I am a local utility driver. Every day I go to a new place, and every day is in some ways a new nightmare. And yet thanks to G-maps I can look at every one of my stops from satellite view and street map, and then have Google Maps straight up tell my idiot ass how to get there.
Without this, how could this job even be done? I am vocally critical of the old fellas yelling about elogs and auto transmissions but you guys used paper maps like the ancestors once did. I can't even comprehend such a nightmare.
Meanwhile tomorrow I have 9 stops I have never been to but due to street / satellite / map intel I am 100% confident in how I will arrive, park, deliver, then get McDonalds without causing a traffic incident.
Dicks out for Google Maps. If Google Maps showed up at my front door and asked me to let it fuck me well, brothers I ain't gonna lie, I would let it.
