[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2455494, member: 52145"] All feeder runs have a set route to follow. Sometimes there may be detours due to an accident or construction but a marked detour will be set with tractor trailers in mind. But if you get lost or take a wrong term you will have to keep your eyes open for low clearance bridges or bridges that won't take the weight. Or any other obstacle like low branches, too narrow roads, roads that won't accept a combination with too long distance from your king pin to rear axle or a dozen other problems. You may have to back out of a situation or even break up a set to turn around. You really have to be aware. Most of our drivers have CB radios to keep up on road conditions from other drivers. You can also use your iphone to access road conditions. They may also be trucker apps on your smart phone that can help. I usually relied on the CB. ( ol school ) [/QUOTE]
