Whats the best way to get to this location

If MD 144 is not restricted, take that route. In a big truck, its best to follow the marked highways. Route yourself using your atlas and Google Maps. Put Google maps in satellite mode and look around.

 

If the driver takes MD 144 -- said driver will very likely tear up some low-hanging trees/limbs (see street views).

Exit 54 is likely a better choice.

Let us know how it "turns out"....

What's this 'Atlas' thing you speak of . . . ?

 

Lol ha!!!! The original Rand McNally

 

I used it when I first started driving, because many of the multi stop loads were in the north east.

The section at the front that lists the 'low clearance locations' by state and route were super helpful.

That, and the fact all the truck routes and STAA (whatever that means) were highlighted - well, fun and games on a Friday afternoon researching the route so that Mon-Tues were less, err - painful.

 

Don’t forget frost laws. Usually cuts weight limit in half during cold weather months. And what is a STAA route? Approved part of the 53’ network?

 

Oh yeah, even to this day that atlas still helps me. I use Google maps to explore an area, but I drive with no navigation whatsoever..the atlas tells you everything you need to know. I just never found it necessary to purchase a GPS. Maybe I'm just weird like that.
