As a former over-the-road trucker, Chris Nieves knows the importance of routing efficiency. He creates a “trip plan” every day to cut down on mileage, improve fuel economy and decrease vehicle wear and tear.

The owner of Progressive Lawn Maintenance in Mobile, Ala., uses a Rand McNally IntelliRoute TND 720 LM Truck GPS unit, which allows him to create multiple-stop trips. With a Wi-Fi connection, he also gets current weather and fuel price updates on the device. Before, Nieves mapped addresses on Google.

He estimates he’s seen a 20 percent improvement in miles per gallon since going this route.
