Rand McNally Releases New ‘Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas
Rand McNally has released the new annual edition of its best-selling Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas for professional drivers across North America.
For nearly 40 years, the atlas has provided guidance on truck-accessible roads, state trucking regulations, and cross-country tolling information.
The new edition, in three formats – paperback, with laminated pages and a spiral binding, and in a larger print version – are available now.
Professional driver Derek Stevens praised the Motor Carrier’s Road Atlas for its dependability.
“It’s very reliable. You can look at the big picture, as well as take it down to the state level,” Stevens said. “It’s great for trip planning. Whenever I’m going somewhere new, I dig out the Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas and draw my start and end point to find the best route. I don’t have to worry about a low bridge or anything, because all the information is right there. You don’t have to spend an hour searching for the information, because it’s all right there.”
New Edition Updates
Each year Rand McNally updates and enhances the atlases’ maps and content. This year’s updates and enhancements include:
- Revised U.S. state and Canadian province maps;
- Updated restricted routes, low clearance, and weigh station locations;

- Updated toll system contact information for each state;
