Rand McNally today released the new annual edition of its Motor Carriers' Road Atlas for professional drivers.
Despite near ubiquitous use of GPS for routing trucks, Rand McNally's atlas remains a go-to navigation device experienced drivers use to plot their course and to use when GPS devices fail to operate appropriately.
Each edition includes updated state and national truck-accessible routes; the latest state-by-state regulations; fuel tax charts; restricted routes, low-clearance, and more.
The 2024 edition updates include:
- Comprehensive update of fuel tax information, tractor/trailer inspection procedures
- Hazmat route regulations, tips and facts, on-the-road resources, state access policies, and more
- Updated restricted routes, low clearance, and weigh station locations
- Updated population values in the index
- The addition of mileage-based exit numbers along Interstate 95 in Rhode Island
- Revised 22-page mileage directory that includes more than 40,000 truck route-specific, city-to-city mileages
- Detailed coverage of state and national designated routes
- Road construction and conditions hotlines
- Chart of state and provincial permit agency phone numbers and websites
- Redesignation of U.S. Highway 264 in North Carolina along I-95 near Wilson to Greenville to Interstate 587
The new editions of the atlas are available in paperback; a spiral-bound, laminated Deluxe version; and a Large Scale edition with maps that are 37% larger printed on laminated pages with a tough spiral binding that allows the book to lay open easily.
All can be purchased at travel centers, in bookstores, online at the Rand McNally Store, and other e-commerce stores.
