How to know bridge clearances on route?
Hi, What (map?) resources do folks use to determine whether the bridges on one's route has adequate clearance? Thanks, Bill

I am 13'5" so clearances are an issue for me. So I only go where the trucks can go. My best friend is the Trucker's Atlas (suggest the laminated version). Just stay on the routes that are color coded in yellow and you'll have no problems. I like it because I can easily look over an entire state and then plan out my routes using a dry erase marker.
It also has a database of low clearance bridges, categorized by state. Texas wins but the NE looks to be tricky in general.
I remember seeing one unmarked bridge last year that was a mile or so directly outside the campground I was heading to.
I also have the Rand GPS and input my height and use the Allstays Low Clearance app, which I really like.
