My oldest Trucker's Atlas is from 2004 (large letter edition.) I started driving in 2005, and picked it up from a trucker for 10 bucks. I still use it (at home.) Just recently bought an '09 LAMINATED edition for about the same.... but, I need my glasses to read it!

My "classic" edition, is a 1984 regular road atlas. I guess I bought this about the time I got married after I got out of the service. I was doing alot of travelling with my young family. It HAS no "cover!" I only know the year, because I THINK I can still translate roman numerals! :lol:

I would LOVE to be able to quote here the "instructions" to 4-wheelers on how to MERGE onto these new INTERSTATE highway "thingies!"

Oops.... I made a funny and didn't even know it. I wasn't "joking" about how old it was with the roman numerals thing. It's just that... you know.... atlases show the YEAR on the front cover. Mine is missing the cover. INSIDE.... all there is is the copyright box which, as with other things, still uses roman numerals. An "L" is a 50 isn't it? MCMLXXXIV = 1984.... right?

Can you imagine what an atlas would have looked like during the Roman Empire?? LOLOLOL!

I'm hoping to make it down to the RT.95 South Carolina area and sleep late sunday afternoon/early evening. I have to be in Jacksonville for 7am Monday, and in Lakeland Fl. for 7pm. Monday. :smokin:

I wish that more people would use the thread. We could be in the same truck stop eating dinner and not even know it. I would update more often, but i have a hard time getting a signal when i'm on the road. :smokin:
