rand mcnally motor carrier atlas. I would recommend the large print spiral bound laminated version. its the most used tool you will ever have

You can also use the laminated one as a plate when you eat. Use pepperoni to mark milestones for the day and peas for rest stops. Depends on what your eating but you can use your imagination. At each milestone, eat a piece of pepperoni. When you get to your destination, wipe it off clean!

lol didnt even thnk of that one. thanks

looks like rand mcnally it is. only thign i been shopping around and theo ne i want large print is $125. anyone know of a shop in NJ or online site where it might be cheaper ? thanks and sorry if this has been asked time and time again. i didnt see anything on the site.

Found this site online http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/store...hdghh.0&cmty=0

Mine was $63 bucks (tax included) at the flying J, best price online was $85

The easiest way to get it cheaper is to buy last year's edition.

I can't remember what TS it was, but I just saw a whole rack full of last year's atlas for sale and they were a lot cheaper than 60-80 bucks. Not sure, but I believe the price was in the teens...

I bought a couple of Rand McNally's with standard print for $10 each at a Pilot. It was shortly after the new ones came out. I have looked at the other maps and prefer Rand McNally. I normally keep them for 2-3 years and then upgrade. The laminated will last for a long time. Even if you buy the new version, it is still worth paying the difference for the lamination. The standard binding will not last on the cheap maps. They will come apart after a very short time. I believe they sell for either $29.95 or $39.95 when they first come out.

I've always used Rand McNally. You can buy them at pert near any truck stop.
