    Ok I got the new Pro Drivers Atlas made by Universal map. The only I am having a problem with is the fact when I see the routes restricted in the back of the book They are still highlighted as truck routes in the map. Plus I noticed in Atlanta it looks like no trucks are alowed in side of I285. Maybe I am reading it wrong or maybe the other roads that are in Atlanta and not in the restricted list are ok to drive on? Just another question to keep you all busy. :p

    True,

    And when you are calling to get your directions into the shipper/receiver, be sure to talk to someone from shipping/receiving and make it very clear that you are driving an 18 wheeler. Otherwise, you might end up getting directions from a an employee from a temp agency that doesn't know what those signs that say "no trucks" means. :)
