Trucker routes

Yes all okay and good roads

 

No you can only drive on Interstates.















A Rand McNally Motor Carrier edition atlas will tell you. Buy one at the next truck stop they don't cost much. It might save you from getting smart### answers like the mine above.

 

You should pick up a truckers atlas and learn to use it.

On the Rand McNally maps, roads highlighted in yellow are major truck routes. Red are usually 2 lane truck routes. And grey are truck routes that aren't really recommended. Any one of those may have a low bridge or a stretch that is "restricted". It's all in the front of the book. Easy to read. Easy to use.

 

You can run down about any road in Kansas with a big truck, there's some that you're supposed to be going somewhere in that county to be on their road though.

 

I travel US-81 frequently and sometimes use US-50. Both are good routes.

Pretty much any US highway will be a good truck route, but as others have noted, you are well advised to get a current Rand McNally road atlas and use that for trip planning. Even US highways in some states can have restrictions, like US-95 south from Lewiston, ID (you have to get an over length permit and pay attention to when and where you need to stop and slide your tandems).

 

I ignore trends and recurrent tho useful themes. I prefer the freedom of the open road and the sudden, surprising, stop a low bridge has to offer. Poo-poo to all of you.

 

Lots of traffic circles in the middle of nowhere. I hate traffic circles.
