Like AdirondackJack, I have the motor carriers atlas. Since my 5th wheel is almost as tall as a semi trailer, I know I'm good as long as I stay on the yellow highlighted roads. Makes life easy.
The atlas also has a database of low clearances listed by state. The clear winner in the low clearance derby seems to be Texas, followed by the northeast in general.
This atlas was an eye opener. Highly recommend it. I got mine (laminated version so I can plot trips)at a Loves or Pilot (don't remember). Surprisingly, these are much cheaper in a truckstop then if you use Amazon.
And - It is wishfull thinking if you are tall and not concerned about low clearances. Knowledge is power.
* Just so I don't sound like a Neanderthal, FWIW, I also have TWO GPSs for plotting purposes.
** Sorry - one more thing. I also have the Allstays Low Clearance app on my Iphone - This also will open your eyes if you think low clearances are few and far between. I like it a lot. When opened, it auto-locates your location on a map. You can zoom in or out to look at low clearances in close-by cities/locations. Or look over your entire planned route for the day.
Ok, done now. I promise.
