yes they are. they are 59$ at the truckstops.

Get the Truck stop book too! Get it at all the truckstops. You can get the 2008 Rand MacNalley Motor Carrier version at B.Dalton Bookstore for 20.00. Thats what I paid.

the laminated one is what i got also and it has lasted many years. it's the 2003 editiion. it's definitly time to update to the 2008 but i am waiting til i have enough truckstop points to get it for free or pretty darn close to it. i have like 55$ on my t/a card and like 55-56$ on my pilot. i should be able to pick it up next week for free.

I buy last years edition when it goes on sale at truck stops, usually under 10.

The 2008 edition is on amazon.com for $13.57 (it looks like the real deal, unless this is a slimmer version or something). Here's the link:

Amazon.com: Rand Mcnally 2008 Motor Carriers' Road Atlas (Rand Mcnally Motor Carriers' Road Atlas): Books: Rand McNally

You should also get a copy of the map put out by PennDot listing authorized truck routes in PA. I don't use it often but if you need it, not having it can be costly. You can pickup at PA rest areas or by contacting PennDot in Harrisburg. They are free.

One of the best (and smallest) investments I made when I was on the road was one of those mini-truck stop books. Costs less than $5 and lists about 95% of truck stops out there, along with parking lot size and if they had a scale or not. A quick glance to decide where to stop for the night, or maybe a place to stop for lunch and I was good to go. Plus it's small and convenient. I always kept it clipped to my visor with a binder clip. I used to also have one of those big truck stop directories that list all the amenities and such of stops, but after a couple years I stopped buying those because I never used it. Prefered the little mini-guide.

i have seen the 2007 laminated maps at the t/a in bloomburg for $14.95. but damnit i forgot to get an updated one before i left and so i still carry around my 2003 laminated one.
