How Garmin Simplifies Life for Truck Drivers
Being a truck driver is a demanding and essential part of the supply chain industry. Despite grueling hours, pressures of deadlines and the challenges of navigating various road conditions, truck drivers endure it all.
According to American Trucking Associations, 3.55 million truck drivers across the country work to keep supply chains in motion to drive our economy. Garmin trucking products offer drivers peace of mind with state-of-the-art communication tools for every delivery across every mile. Here are a few of our favorites.
1. Truck navigators
Simplifying arrival at your destination is key to an efficient day’s work. Luckily, dēzl LGV GPS truck navigators offer valuable dēzl community features with the dēzl app on your compatible smartphone. Get “know on the go” insights on parking, loading docks and preferred trucking locations based on ratings from fellow drivers.
With an easy-to-read, high-resolution touchscreen display, you’ll be able to quickly glance over while driving and know where you’re supposed to be going. Display sizes come in 6”, 7”, 8” and 10” — perfect for securing in your cab. And with custom truck routing (not available in all areas; always defer to posted road signs), simply enter your truck’s height, weight, length, width and hazardous materials to find routes best suited for your rig and load. For better situational awareness, you can also see popular truck paths followed by other drivers so you can feel confident navigating unfamiliar areas.
Plan for your arrival with the navigator’s high-resolution satellite imagery. You’ll be better prepared for drop off at your destination thanks to clear overhead views of truck entrances, security gates and loading docks.
Be aware of upcoming conditions such as high wind speeds, sharp curves, steep grades and more with the built-in alerts displayed on your screen.
2. Cams
Protect your driving reputation and maneuver your rig with ease when you have Garmin dash and backup cams.
With either a Dash Cam Mini™ 3, X110, X210 or X310, you’ll be able to record video of detected incidents with utmost clarity and reduced glares. Each dash cam comes with a built-in Garmin Clarity™ polariser lens enhancement.
For increased peace of mind, each dash cam also comes with automatic incident detection when plugged into your truck’s power source. A GPS-enabled dash cam will save and capture video with GPS location, date and time. And that’s just one of many peace of mind features.
Reverse confidently when you have a Garmin BC™ 50. This backup cam gives you a clear view of what’s behind your truck on your compatible dēzl LGV truck navigator. With up to 50’ of working range, 720p HD resolution and a 160-degree friend of view, you’ll be able to reverse in and out of loading docks and parking spots with ease.
