    Been sleeping but awake. I can do up to what ever you want to haul. It might take some time.

    Get the Rand MCnally with the LARGE print. The regular one doesn't show the roads as well.

    Do you know when the large print comes out for 2014...I havn't found it yet and I dont see it on the RM website. The large print 2013 is my favorite atlas now.

    I went and got the rm 2014 since it is always spoke of so highly. Great info in the front, but I wasn't so impressed with the maps. The maps that spill over two pages have a gap in them, about an inch for the large coil binding and then 1/2 inch on each page for the border. I returned mine.

    For those looking to pick one up, flying j has them for 29.99. Amazon has them for 45 plus shipping. Go figure.

    No idea. They generally start to come in around spring I think. They were going to stop making them, but they came back by popular demand. If you already have the Large print 2013 map you probably don't need a new one this year. There aren't going to be many changes if any.

    Some companies buy um in bulk and offer great discounts. I got my last one through TMC and it was like 10 or 15 bucks.

    Saw the 2014 large--at the TA in Edinburg last week--so Im guessin they're out--
    As for the OP--IMHO--IF you are NEW at this--I would recommend the REGULAR laminated Road Carriers ATLAS--I really do not like the way RM has split up the states to create the LARGER version=--for those of us who have been out here awhile--and ONLY use our Mapbook as a reference it is fine and Easier to read--but--it can be HARD to follow some of the roads in certain areas the way they break the pages--S. Cal and NE/SE Tx come to mind--but there are many others
    just my $.02
