Truck stop book?
 
Where do you get the book that tells you where a truck stop is at and what road I guess you look it up by state in the book? Do you get them at truck stop?

From truck-stops. They usually run from $5 to $20. While you are there you might as well talk to some of the drivers to see how they like the company they are working for. You will also find free magazines with ads from trucking companies that are hiring.

At the TA in Ontario,CA they were giving them away for free. It's called Interstate Directory and it has a yellow Western Star and a flatbed just like Steve's on the cover.

In fact I scanned it, but don't know how to post it here.

Theres also a book that you can get at most major bookstors called "The Next Exit", it only has the federal interstates (not the state highways) but it list what is at every exit along them (i.e. walmart, Mc'ds, fuel stations) along with truck parking at any of the places listed.

I have a truckstop directory, almost every truck stop sells some kind... just don't get the one with the cheap newspaper like pages... I've torn so many of them by accident... doh!

I got one from Dieselboss.com. I think I paid about $12.95.

I paid about $20 for mine. It's got a blue cover and about the size of a text book. I can't remember the name of it, but if it got stolen, I would pay $200 for another one if I had to.

They are the best thing for a driver to have. I'd be lost without mine. I've seen them at Flying J's and T/A's. Shows the truckstops locations and what the truckstop provides. Whether it has showers, laundry, restaurants, size of the lot, mechanical services, etc. Well worth purchasing. Drive safe everyone. :)
