Deluxe Motor Carriers' Road Atlas

Don't have you Rand McNally Motor Carriers' Road Atlas yet? I just bought the deluxe laminated version from their store on the internet for $39 plus tax and shipping. It was about $47 to get it in 2 days but shipping is free if you have time to wait. Don't buy it in a truck stop it will be much more. A book store will rake you over the coals. Cant put a link here so just Google Rand McNally. Thought I would post it since I did alot of shopping around for this and some places will charge well over a hundred dollars for it. They also have the standard version cheap too. Good luck to you newbies as I am one too!

The truck stops often sell the previous year's atlases once the next year's comes out for less than $25 for the spiral bound laminated. Typically they're available at this price from November through February or until sold out.

Good to know but as I live at least 50 miles from the nearest truck stop I didn't bother checking on it. I figured the new ones would be at least full price so I thought I would look on the Net an let UPS bring it to me. I did check out Global trucker and that is also a very good price for a 2009. lus it helps this site!
