Google Maps usually gives me real good routes. BUT. You gotta check these routes on an actual map to make sure they are feasible routes. Earlier this month I didn't verify the route and Google Maps routed me down Main Street in Mt Vernon, Wash. Sometimes the quickest route isn't the best.
The hard map I use is the Motor Carriers Atlas, which the truckers use. Suitable roads are highlighted in yellow.
I just picked up the AAA Atlas because we are members, but what you are suggesting is a truckers Atlas? I didn't really know they existed lol.
The AAA maps to me have very small text or my eyes are really bad. is the Atlas you mention have good size text you mentioned it highlight best routes for truck? Is it a apple and oranges difference?
Also, where can I find one? The closet Pilot station possibly?
Thanks for the info
