    Suppose you were going from LA to NYC with 5 stops, man, your whole window would be covered up with directions.[emoji13]

    You all are reading way more into it than you need to be. Since its not the way you do it it's wrong?

    One or two posts is picking, I'm fine with a little ribbing. But it went beyond ridiculous, it became ludacrous!

    The posts aren't about you. They're just about the unnamed driver we all have seen tooling down the road with stuff written on the windows.

    I didn't bother reading the entire thread so sorry if I'm redundant but I have used both. I prefer the laminated for the spiral binding but the regular one got me where I was going just the same. On the laminated one I use dry erase markers to make notes and leave the page I need open while I'm driving then I can wipe all my notes off when I'm done. On the regular one I used pen and wrote numbers on pages with locations of shippers then had the shippers name in a key in the margin. I also wrote down separately the best route into and out of each shipper. I'm old school and don't have a gps so those details are pretty important to me.

    Well,the old saying" You get what you pay for"-. The pages wont dog ear as easy and it wont hurt it when you spill your coffee on it
