How Is That A Truck Route?

I just do not understand why you are overlooking the Atlas as a tool

Unholychaos, do you not have a Rand McNally Trucker's Road Atlas?

The other day you asked us about a route through Buffalo and I told you to call the customer to find out the best truck route to their facility. You wound up asking your dispatcher instead, which makes no sense.

Now this?

Come on, man. You really need to get it together with your route planning. Thus far it's only been an inconvenience but if you keep it up you're going to get yourself into quite a bit of trouble over time.

Schneider provides Rand Mcnally Atlases on the 3rd week of orientation, I still have mine.

Most all routes that are not interstate or US highways make me wonder.

There are a few US Routes in PA that can be pretty hairy. Like, most of them. Especially the 3 digit ones. I particularly remember some serious butthole clenching the first time I was routed down US-322 south off I-80. I don't remember where I was heading to, but I do remember I wasn't doing it very fast. Nothing like having a 15 mph CURVE at the bottom of an 8% grade to put the fear of God into you.

US 49 in AR slows to a 10 mph curve thru a trailer park.

Which is always fun driving in a fully loaded tanker.. Haha feel my sarcasm....

Although I'm obviously in no position, this one was literally marked "truck route". On our trip over April Break last year, we stopped in Hershey and stayed the night in Clearfield. This meant going down 81, and coming up on a route that goes northwest. That was US-22 to US-322 to PA-140. The entire thing was brutal, but the portion that was 322 was HORRIBLE. 9% or steeper grades everywhere (heck, our loaded up minivan was only barely making it. We were right behind a truck (I forget which company, but it was based out o Harrisurg, so just like us was going up to 80. We followed the poor guy all the way there. Very skinny roads, can't hardly see any oncoming traffic, lots of highly banked turns (with not much run-up to gain speed to feel comfortable that you aren't gonna tumble down the mountain. We both actually stopped at the lone TA at a slight break in the mountains, and congratulated him for making it that far (he said he was fully loaded at about 43,500 and struggling).

That was just brutal.

^ this is the exact place I was talking about. South was mostly downhill, north uphill.
