Don't Get Lost
Getting lost in a semi or ending up on a route that your semi doesn't fit on? Not a good idea lol.
GPS is great, til you lose signal, need to re-route for an accident, or need to check that your truck will fit on the detour. There is a reason this is the most trusted atlas for truckers.
2026 Rand McNally Deluxe Motor Carriers Road Atlas, (Paperback)
This has by far been my husband's favorite GPS to use in his semi. It's much better than maps on a phone due to also finding CAT scales, specializing in truck routes, etc.
