CHICAGO — Rand McNally released on Wednesday the latest edition of its printed Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas.
Designed specifically for professional truck drivers, the Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas has offered resources for the commercial transportation community for more than 40 years. Each edition of the atlas includes updated state and national truck-accessible roadways, the latest state-by-state regulations, fuel tax charts, truck-restricted routes and more.
