    They are just fine, maps are maps long as they are current and its "MOTOR CARRIER"/commercial trucks.

    Now I do like the binder ones over the typical book style.
    I also like the laminated pages over the plane paper one

    All I ever used was the deluxe motor carriers atlas Rand Mcnally. I like the laminated pages. Packed with info. They list for about $80 bucks, but I have found that Pilot has them on sale for about $20-30 from time to time. That and a good truck stop directory will go far. Many use a lot of PC tools. I was always old school with my trucking tools, except for cell and qualcomm.

    I buy the regular Rand Trucker Atlas for $5.95, mark it up, tear it up, and throw away every year!! Too cheap and can get them on sale!!:thumbleft:

    I like mine. I can use a dry erase marker on it, can't tear it and can spill coffee on it! With yours you might turn left at the mustard stain when you should have went right!:smt033

    Well if your page falls out it still won't tear!:razz: Now if you can't figure out what state it is, because it fell out; better stay local!:blah5: :smt040
