Yep... agreed.
I bought that Motor Carrier (trucker) Atlas but saved a few bucks on the binding... BIG mistake.
IMO, if you buy that Motor Carrier road Atlas, get the spiral binding (only way to go). When you're 102" wide and 45' long, best to stick to approved marked trucker routes. Keeps me off 8' wide lane roads. This Atlas highlights approved routes.
We also use a Magellan RV Map-GPS (based on commercial trucker GPS) and find it excellent. I really like their speed limit display and warning. Of course loading your pre-set rig dimensions helps avoid low tunnels and bridges too.
