Well im new to trucking I understand an atlas is the recommended way to go..but a gps is also very helpful which one is the best one that will show everything ..such as bridges, truck stops, rest areas...etc

Ive got the Rand Mcnally 530. It works great, does what I need.

Always remember, a GPS is just a tool and should not be relied on all the time. Nothing beats a map book.

You will find there are some locations that say truck route, but really they aren't, always use a map book. I like to use Google Maps, Earth, GPS and my book.
