CHICAGO, June 16, 2025 – Rand McNally, the #1 leader in atlases and maps, has released their annually updated 2026 edition of its best-selling Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas, a trusted companion for professional truck drivers. Celebrating its 45th edition, the atlas has earned a permanent place in the cabs of millions of well-prepared, over-the-road truck drivers. As always, it is produced by Rand McNally professionals and printed in the USA.
Drivers continue to depend on the atlas for detailed truck-specific route information that all other atlases and maps lack as well as virtually all GPS devices. It provides detailed route planning, a comprehensive big-picture overview, and a dependable backup in the event of GPS outages. This is why the atlas continues to elicit five-star reviews for accuracy, dependability, and ease of use.
The new editions of the atlas are available in paperback; a spiral-bound, laminated Deluxe version; and a Large-Scale edition with maps that are 37% larger. All are available at randpublishing.com, travel centers, e-commerce outlets, and bookstores.
