Your dad cant be looking at the GPS and driving…As most drivers do its part of the job to preplanned your trip..GPS cant be held responsible if your dad makes a wrong turn..he has to watch for signs of caution..GPS aren’t always that current..Im sure there is a GPS for truck drivers that tells them about low over passes and low weight bridges..there also may be a app for his phone he can use instead of buying a GPS.

While the Garmin 2720 is a good navigation aid, it doesn’t look for truck routings or check for low bridges along the route. Garmin has recently introduced a new unit that is specifically programmed for truckers. Check out the Garmin Nuvi 465 which is available at most major brand travel centers. JetDoc
I think Garmin StreetPilot 2720 is good one but not sure is a good for truck drivers, I suggest these gps truck drivers :
1.PC Miler PCM740 Navigator 740 All-In-One GPS for Truck Drivers
2.World Nav 7260 WorldNav7200 7 GPS Navigation for Truck Route Commercial Drivers with Bluetooth Good M
if you type in “truckers GPS” it will bring you to sites regarding truck gps units. most are pricey but you can enter vehicle length, width, weight, height and if haz-mat or not. that way you will not be directed onto strrets not made for trucking of low bridges or restricted tunnels. Thumper
