    I plan on driving through Atlanta in the middle of the night and never stopping there. The traffic sucks because the roads were never designed for the number of vehicles and it is one congested city. Better to stay 3-4 hours away and drive overnight than try to park there.

    I couldn't get along without mine. I also keep a current paper Pocket Truck Stop Guide in case I need to find something faster...like truck stop size, which isn't easily found on my RM.

    I avoid medium and small truck stops; even if you find a space, you're just as likely to get blocked in by some blockhead who comes in late and doesn't think about anybody else.

    One, or both of you need to buy the "Pocket Truck Stop Guide" from TruckAndTravel.com. Its about $5 from almost every truck stop. INDESPENSABLE!

    Second, got a smart phone? Get "Truckers Path". Its a must have app.

    It's getting harder to function as a driver without a smartphone. Take pictures of things like holes in the deck to show a DM trailer damage, scan and submit bills using Transflo's super app, and finding a parking spot...it's a must-have item and well worth the money.

    He did get the book. I will see if I can find that app & make sure its on his phone, too. We'll make sure he doesn't get stuck in ATL again! His load was going to Smyrna. Hate wasting hours. Of course he ended up wasting about half a day when he went to the next pick up because he had to wait on permits.

    Not sure why, but I expected the ride to be a little smoother. Headed to B'ham yard to get his load for Monday. It's about 3 hours round trip back to the house. It's really not bad. I don't think any of the kids would enjoy it for long though.
