I've ran with a Cobra 5500 and I'm now using a Garmin trucking GPS units. I'd recommend either. That being said, don't let the GPS tell you what to do. Cross check all GPS routing with your iphone or a paper atlas (better) before departing. You should always invest in a current paper atlas.
Also on routing, always request directions on the qualcom. Other drivers have been to these shippers and consignees before you. This will help keep you out of no truck zones. If the GPS says different don't listen to it.
Yes any equipment you buy for the truck is tax deductible. If it's going to be more than your standard deduction then save those receipts.
Have you gone out with your trainer yet? Hopefully you'll get an easygoing, professional, clean, safe, trainer. If that's not the case have the fleet manager take you off that truck.
Never driven for Roehl though I have driven for a few common carriers on the east coast. Always happy to help a redditor-driver. Feel free to PM me I'll give you my number if you wish to bounce any other questions off me.
Edit: grammar
