It includes truck-nav- igable routes and state and province restrictions, as well as low-clearance locations. The 2017 edition of the truck-specific atlas includes thousands of map up- dates, along with many other addi- tional features including: • Updated highways showing the latest truck roadways as desig- nated by the Surface Transporta- tion Assistance Act (STAA), also known as "designated" highways; • Coverage of select Hazardous Materials Regulations; • A 22-page mileage directory with more than 40,000 truck-route- specific, city-to-city mileages; • Charts of state and provincial permit agency phone numbers and websites, low clearances and weigh stations, as well as hotlines for road construction and condi- tions. A recent survey conducted by Rand McNally at the Mid-America Truck- ing Show found that a majority of drivers use the printed product, and at least 15 percent of those surveyed use the Motor Carriers' Road Atlas as their primary navigational tool, ac- cording to the company. The 2017 Motor Carriers' Road Atlas is available in paperback; in a spiral- bound, laminated Deluxe version; and a Large Scale edition with maps that are 37 percent larger printed on laminated pages plus a spiral binding for stay-flat pages. Motor Carriers' Road Atlases can be purchased at travel centers, online at store.randmcnally.com and from other nationwide retailers. • Rand McNally releases updated atlas for commercial vehicle drivers 2017 Motor Carriers' Road Atlas (PRNewsFoto/Rand McNally)
