Rand McNally has just released . The printed atlas was first published in 1982 and has been updated annually ever since.

Even in this day of electronic in-cab navigation, the company says the large printed format is the best tool to see the big picture and quickly access state and province restrictions.

Drivers’ lives are simplified by cross-referencing the atlas pages and content to the software on the company’s IntelliRoute TND truck-specific GPS devices and the new TND Tablet.

The newest edition includes:

·         Updated U.S. state and Canadian province maps;

·         Revised ‘designated’ highways showing the latest truck roadways as specified by the U.S. Surface Transportation Assistance Act;

·         Updated restricted routes, low clearances, and weigh station locations;

·         A 22-page mileage directory with more than 40,000 truck-route-specific, city-to-city mileages;

·         A review of hazmat regulations;

·         And fully updated state and province charts including more than 500 changes to truck-specific state contacts – for such things as operating authorities, emergency police, and vehicle registration. The section also includes road construction and conditions hotlines.

The Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas is available in paperback; in a spiral-bound, laminated Deluxe version; and a large-scale edition with maps that are 37% larger, printed on laminated pages plus a tough spiral binding for stay-flat pages.
