Yes, I have a subscription to it. I find it invaluable for locating off the wall truck stops and parking. I use it as a secondary gps. My primary is a garmin dezl otr500. New places final and initial mile as well as location satellite and streetview I use google maps for.
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Yes, Trucker Path is great for listing not just truck stops but weigh stations and just places to park a truck as well. I don't have a paid subscription but the free features work for me.
Same!

Yes, I use my atlas for backroads, alternate routes, anytime I have questions on routes.
I use the free version for finding hole in the wall parking options, what time certain truck stops are likely to fill up and how big they are, and sometimes seeing how many weigh stations I'll be going through.
I have an atlas. I don't use it as much as I used to because I go to a lot of the same places that I'm familiar with. It's great though for ensuring your route won't meet any low bridges and I wouldn't want to travel without one.
The Atlas is also critical for auditing your GPS route. You can reference low clearances (bridges) and restricted routes to avoid going there in the first place and avoiding ending up somewhere you don't belong. NEVER blindly follow your GPS there is a 100% (yes it is 100%) guaranty the GPS will lead you somewhere you don't belong such as restricted routes, entering a facility into the employee parking area where you can't maneuver, etc.
Best of success to you!
