Truck Stop Pocket Guide

I would be lost without mine. I've been using it for over five years and I love how they have added rest areas as well now. I like how it's organized by milepost and gives just basic information, if I need a pitstop it's easy to take a quik look to see what's up ahead.

 

Yeah, I noticed the addition of rest stops too! Glad to see that, I was hoping someone would finally do it.

 

I prefer the pocket sized guide.....sure about once a year you have to replace. What are they now $5 bucks, im sure you will spend that on your next pack of smokes, or you that value meal at Mc Donalds.

 

I carry 2 of them. The pocket size I replace every 2 years or so. I also like the they put the rest areas in and give you the length of the interstate for that state. Also have one of the large ones from 2008 that I only use now for getting the zipcode to set my satellite up with, if I ever sit.

 

The pocket size guide used to have more mom and pop stops in it then the original size one. Its much better finding a quiet mom and pop stop with plenty of parking then the mega-stops.

 

Check out the Rand McNally TND. It has it all.

 

My DAT Truckstop for Android is free. Includes Walmart and rest areas.

 

Trucker Tools and Trucking Jobs for Android are pretty good too.

 

My last Pete had a built in GPS that listed everything around you. I can't count the times I had food delivered to the truck. You could select the cuisine, eat in, pick up or delivery and it would spit out address, phone and directions. I got quite a few, "I never delivered to a truck before."
