Road Atlas purchase

I run similar routes so mine sits over on passenger side of truck for the most part.

 

My trainer in 2008 bought me an Atlas. Guess what! Still got it. Wait and then buy a good one unless you dont mind just buying two. Can probably find them used too. Some things change dont get me wrong but you can use the same map book for years and years. I never had a GPS. Simply are not needed honestly

 

Yep I only bought a new one because we run so many state roads here I wanted an updated one. Not sure what happened to my old one. I'll ask wifie if it's lying around but I doubt it.

 

You can usually get them half price around June and July just before next year's start coming out. That's for the laminated ones too. Last one I bought was 19.95$

 

You can get a large-scale atlas For $20 from a driver at a truck-stop if you keep your CB on Channel 19 and listen 24 hours a day.

 

I get one every year for free . just use your fuel points

 

I buy a new paper one every year. the front is full of useful info that changes every year.
that and the $7.00 pocket truck stop guide and I'm good to go.
but what do I know Ive just been out here for over yrs. so I'm old school and not up to date.

 

I bought the big laminated one and so far all I have done with it it lug it around. Too big to fit in my backpack and duffel is too full.

Don't buy one until you are told to or you get your own truck.

Better yet just keep an eye out if you are on I40 as mine is really close to getting launched out the window real soon.
