For a commercial vehicle how do we find the best routes to take across the country? Is there a website similar to mapquest to search on?

Get you a road atlas. You can buy them at just about any truck stop.

My husband uses Truck Miles at truckmiles.com. He has the computer program. You use it free online to plan a basic route.

bameyi,
From your post it appears your training course didn't include trip planning lessons using pen and paper, a motor carriers road atlas, HOS regs, a calculator and a brain.
Return to the school and ask for that training or turn in your CDL.
Unless your post is a hoax, you gotta be kidding. BOL

WHY DO YOU CHOSE TO INSULT ME JUST FOR A POST. YES I DID TRIP PLANING AND ALL YOU MENTION BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ADD MY BRAIN TO THE REPLY OKAY. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY THING TO POST DON'T INSULT ME TECHNOLOGY ARE FOR US TO USE AN IMPROVE LIVE. IF A GPS WILL HELP IMPROVE THE WAY I DO MY JOB WHY DON'T I USE. I WILL NOT SAY ANYTHING NAGETIVE TO YOU I WILL RESPECT, BUT I DON'T NEED TO BE INSULTED, AM NEW I NEED HELP AND I WILL ASK QUESTION.
