Is the laminated atlas worth it?

I've seen it and I don't know how they tolerate the cluttered windshield. It bugs me when I see it and I end up washing my windsheild just because.

 

If you use dry erase, you make notes in the corner I.E. if you are on say 70 and your next junction is North on 15, you write something like N15 on one line, then West 80 might be the next so your next line would be W80 etc. That way you can see it at a glance.

guess i did it wrong all those years using paper and pen...lol

 

Yup, the Lil Fat Notebook served me well for many years. But I guess everyone's got their own system. Though I can put my directions AND pick up numbers, etc all in one place. [emoji13]

 

I never said anyone did it wrong, just a way I learned so I didn't have to take my eyes off the road to look at a note book. To each his own. If the note book works for you great. What's amazing, I put my trip number in a note book too...small world

 

I always wrote it om my forehead. When I looked in my rear view mirror, I knew where to go.For some reason, people avoided me at the truck stops

 

Doodles on the windshileld put me in a happy place.

 

To each their own I suppose. It'd bother the hell out of me!

I'm wondering how that'd work for some us. We have no rear view mirror.

 

If I get so old I need to write on my windshield to remember what interstate to take I need to stop driving !!!
Just how hard of a time do people have getting from lets say Atlanta to Denver ??
I mean my god just how low have we dropped the the bar to be a driver anymore ???

I understand not knowing exactly how to get to the front door of the shipper and receiver but interstates ?????? Really ??????
I just have shake my head sometimes .

Well at least it is entertaining reading LOL !!!
