    Clearly, there's no sense in keeping or using a 20 year old atlas, it's a totally different world today.

    Keep in mind thou. As mentioned before. I did get off and go thru town trying to get turned around. But my turn around got turned around. Finally after 30 mins I said forget it. I would have been thru here by now. That s when I proceeded.

    Sad but that's the truth. Im man enough to own it.
    Ok This evening I'm going to crack open the atlas and look for the hazmat section. Because I new there is a no hazmat route but I didn't know where they stop/start

    I suppose, Colorado, with their heads where the sun don't shine, the highways haven't changed much. Now Wisconsin, big changes, did you know, you can go from Beer City to Stevens Point without stopping? Wasn't so 20 years ago, Highway 10, oh, that was a killer.

    that's when you learned to do things yourself, no cell phones, no gps, cook your meals on your turbo or a fire, find a phone or pay phone, know what it is & know how to use a pay phone, paper & pencil, actually talk to someone for help w/directions, talk to a shipper or receiver Critical thinking, OH MY GOD, the horror......

    Yeah but you have to know how to read, read english & care whether or not you hit something & know for sure that your a victim of something (anything) self reliant critical thinking common sense is few & Far between. Trucking is an honorable profession, unfortunately there are not many honorable people left in it.
