Rand McNally overdrive pro 8
Bought a pro8 6 years ago when I started driving OTR, best thing I ever bought. Been with 3 companies, the have had 6 different devices in that time, couldn’t trust any of them over my pro8. I paid $600 odd for it, but seriously the best thing I’ve bought in my trucking career.
Does it get it wrong? They all do, but this one is right 99% of the time. Usually when it’s wrong it’s in cities, but it’s NEVER, put me on a weight restricted or height restricted road, NEVER. I’ve had company GPS trying to send me over 10 ton bridges with 40 tons.
Also set it for fastest route, it nails it every time.
Company I used to work for didn’t allow certain highways, just hit reroute, it finds the fastest way avoiding that highway.
Parts, my window mount broke, after 3 years, went on there site, another one home before I was, for $22.
Long and short, I’ve had this one for 6 years, I hope it doesn’t pack in, but if it does, I will not hesitate spending the money again
