Local truck route/road map

Bunch of backroads in WV and PA, sounds like fun

 

Honestly getting access to something that lists surface streets is unlikely unless it's a highway or interstate. Just pay close attention for restricted road signs is the only advice I can give you.

 

What type of vehicle you re driving will have a lot to do with what kinds of restrictions you will face. A Sprinter type vs a tandem tractor with a 53' van, all the difference in the world.

 

If you know the physical address of where you are delivering you can google earth it online.

If you wish to do things the old way, buy enough books until your entire regular territory is covered on paper.

Each state's motor carrier enforcement offices will tell you what you can where you cannot go and so on with whatever vehicle you have before you try it.

If you have a dispatch that flat does not give a ####### about directions or any other assistance, I say GTFO and find someone to work before quick who will take the time to get that information to you. That is not a dispatch office to me when they don't do a #### thing or provide #### to you all alone with that vehicle in the way of good information. They are nothing but lazies. //rant

Im pretty sure you are not the first to deliver something somewhere with that company. Talk to the other drivers in your yard room, listen to what they may have to say in terms of how to get into a place.

Finally but not least, I understand much of the back roads I roamed in that area are restricted against 40 ton 18 wheelers now. There is a world of difference if you should take a big rig where you cannot go legally. And if you broke a bridge, or smashed a tunnel? You bought it.

 

EXACTLY!
You care more than the company.

 

NOT.

 

I hope you spend this time sniffing out all of your territory. Learn it well. I don't know if you can stand a year trying to run a 18 wheeler on assumptions, guesses and just plain nothing at all. It costs too much and is wasteful not to have information.

I guess I do care, but there has been times over the years that Ive gotten very specific information from dispatch to follow this highway, then the divided road then the state route then a two laner I thought I would never see from childhood again and follow a path after a left I was told specifically I will be taking her off road into the woods and the nursery is on the left at the third bush.

I will not forget that trip any time soon. Because I probably would have abandoned it at the childhood lane. You just don't take a big truck through there. But we did coming and going.

 

Just send ‘er.

Just look out for low bridges and bridge weight obviously.

I gotta take 90k down a 3 ton road everyday pretty much.
