My road atlas is from 1986. Oh, oh, when did they put a scale here,& there's a bypass around Milwaukee now? When did Ill. go to 80K?
Do Any OTR Truckers Still Use Atlas's?

The atlas shows the scale in Shiprock, NM which has been torn down and doesn't show the scale in Vaughn, NM which was open earlier this year."semi" retired Thanks this. -

I used my atlas on every trip.
I fully embraced the GPS as a tool and used it every time the truck moved. My route planning always began with the GPS directions and 99% of the time I followed every turn it told me to. But, it was important to always flip open your atlas and verify that it's the way you want to go. Just because the GPS says you can take a certain route, doesn't always make it the smartest route to take.
