## What is askLAD?

Hi, Ryan here.
From one trucker to another: you've got an impossible job on an impossible clock, and everybody outside the truck thinks it's just "driving."
And yet; you make it possible. You make it possible for an entire nation to flourish.
Only to have your livelihood threatened by a surprise you couldn't see coming.
- A deer off the side of the road.
- A four-wheeler that swerves into you. Then goes after you and the company for a nuclear verdict.
- A citation that seems small, until it shows up on your CSA score.
- A pothole in Memphis.
- A low bridge nobody warned you about.
- A jam you couldn't have predicted.
- A scale house you didn't see until you were already past the exit.
- 20 mins on the shoulder while somebody else decides how your day is going to go.

It comes down to:
- You vs. the road.
- You vs. the law.
- You vs. four-wheelers.

So many things out to "get you." 
Little to nothing that ever says "I got you."

askLAD is the map that says "I got you." 
A trucking GPS built by an actual truck driver, me, Ryan, to cut down the random surprises on the road, and to teach you the rules of the road so you're never at the mercy of somebody else's ego.
