May need a new atlas:

You can do the same thing on Google Maps. Just right click and select "What's Here?"

 

Yeah, but there are no pushpins with maps. With Google Earth, which is also a free download, you can place a pushpin right in the driver entranceway, then right-click it and choose properties to access the GPS coordinates so you can key them into your GPS device.

 

Paper Atlas lasts a year if you are busy. That was my experience so got laminated version and kept log of all delivery/ pickup destinations regarding directions,route,parking,restaurants, bars

 

I used Streets and Trips for years, which is not a truck-specific GPS. It provides excellent routing but you always had to confirm beforehand that the routes it generated were legal. I still use it today whenever the TND 730 gives me a route I wasn't expecting.

I'm not familiar with the Magellan Roadmate 5370T-LMB and don't know if it is truck specific. I don't know anything about it like, for instance, can you upload new and updated maps, truck stops, weigh stations, etc.? Because if you can't, then it won't still be truck specific for long assuming that it was a truck-specific GPS device when you bought it.

Nonetheless, whatever GPS device you are using, whether truck specific or otherwise, you must remember to religiously always check your routes beforehand to confirm that they are legal and that the route will guide you the way you want to go before you start off on your trips. Failure to do so will inevitably result in unexpected surprises and unexpected surprises often lead to high fines and lost jobs.

If you find a portion of the route generated by your GPS device is not legal or the way you want to go, then force the GPS device to route you the legal way or the way you want to go.

On some GPS devices, it's just a matter of dragging and dropping the routes, which is easy and fast to do. Sometimes you can just create a detour and the detour ends up being the legal and correct route. In other GPS devices you must set up one or more ship vias to force the route to go the way you want it to go, but nonetheless it is up to you do do it and it must always be done if the original route generated isn't legal or the way you want to go.

An STAA approved route is a truck legal route. The implications of not being on an STAA approved route may be a ticket or worse.

Good luck.

 

The Fed law states that all states must allow for 1 mile off the STAA for deliveries. Some states expand this to even 5 miles or more. The Rand Atlas has a section that gives these state by state details. This doesn't mean you can't delivery farther than the stated limits, you just have to get a permit from the local AHJ's. Usually a city permit. Your company should do that for you ahead of time, unless you are O/O and own authority.

 

I can find a 2018 Rand McNally Deluxe Motor Carriers' Road Atlas, but not in a "large scale version.
