I wanted to thank you officially. I use to be a Dental Assistant and came a truck driver. I’m now a little over a year. I’ve watched your videos and they have been very very helpful. You get to the point. Explain in detail. Not all the complaining. Thank you and please stay like you are
I liked his explanation as well. Going to school soon for it and wanted a refresher on everything. Wanted to make sure when I got a job that I would do it well.
Man, ive been a local truck driver for five years now. Just started a regional gig only in the truck mon - fri, home on weekends. I want to say thank you so much, because this video is packed with so much meaningful information. Ive learned a lot. Great job!!!!
There may be better video's out there for teaching beginners how to use a trucker atlas, & if there are I haven't run across them yet. This one is VERY good & teaches the majority of what most drivers need to get by with. I have sent this to numerous drivers that needed help & they appreciate it very much. Keep up the good work, especially WITHOUT all the bull music you find on some. Very good job. 40+ yr veteran otr Hopefully you'll do one that teaches the info in the front of the atlas, low bridges, restricted roads & such & how to locate them on the map. Reading & Using a map is a dying art at the very least.
a dying skill these days it seems as most carriers have navigo, etc... still an important thing to know in my opinion and going over the final few miles in your head, including the exits, streets, etc. can save many problems. Keep up the selfless and info rich videos Junior, newbies can learn so much from you via youtube, I have been around forever it seems and really enjoy and appreciate what you do.
+nomdeguerre13 You are right about that being a skill that is dying and IM BRINGING IT BACK BABY! Just kidding, but I will continue to do it. Thank you very much for watching and keeping up with the channel 👍👍
I learned how to read a map when I was 7. I don't trust technology. What if a solar storm hits and all electronics get glitchy and your GPS is thrown off? I'll grab my Truck Atlas and continue to my pick/drop. Not sure what others my age (23) are gonna do.
@@MrDaddieD Your truck is full of technology unless you are in an antique. Automatic slack adjusters, sensors and abs power steering the list goes on and on. Not to mention even an antique truck IS technology in itself. You aren't the only 20 something that can read a map dude lol, you aren't special
@@MrDaddieD You must be 70 years old, my iPhone can show you even the cracks on the road, our navigation is so sophisticated you could even use google earth to see your own backyard and roof.
@@zachz699 I know. It's not that difficult to learn even if someone doesn't know how. It's a simple skill to learn within a week. Even if his technology did go all "glitchy" he would still have his phone. It's just good to know the basics.
I have a carrier Road Atlas but never used it because of how simple and fast the truck GPS is. But after watching this video, I realized I could have done better if I didn’t rely solely on the truck GPS. Thank You again for Sharing!
After five years of retirement I’m getting out of the house and will be attending an orientation at a mega carrier next month. I don’t need the money, I’m just bored. Although trucks are equipped with modern navigation systems, it’s good to know the basic map skills in case there’s a need for a map. Thanks for your informative videos.
I'm having to learn this right now and this video is probably the best one so far. My instructor said we're going to practice navigation some more tomorrow but now I feel like I have a head start.
Junior, a 3 digit interstate starting with an even number (2, 4, 6 or 8) is a spur interstate through or around a city but an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) is a drop off that does not connect to the parent interstate at both ends.
you are the man bro.... best way of teaching.... i m following you from last few months finally got my cdl and staring my orientation with schneider here at Indianapolis....
Thank you my friend and thank you again. It's useful information that some trainers make you think its so hard to explain and leave the student in the dark. You made it simple and to the point. Thumbs up and I got be the 700 LOL.
A 3 digit interstate it's not always a loop around, only if it starts with an even number it's a loop if it starts with an odd number it just goes from point a to b
@ junior Honduras you been a Great blessing love your map reading video I never had anyone teach me the map book in school they said find jackson ms find Dallas Texas have a good day that was my map reading class I struggle when I got out on the road bc I didn’t know how to read a map book Awesome video God bless brother
Thank you this was very helpful, like all your other videos. Your videos help take off some of the stress I am having, I will be starting school this weekend
Yeah, watched a lot of people talk about their experiences already and they all said to never rely on a GPS. A lot of times they may not be Truck Friendly
As long as it doesn’t add too many miles on my trip, I’ll def make use of those loop around truck routes. Hate driving in major cities if I’m not picking or dropping there.
would also like to add, if you miss a turn or exit, don't panic...even if it is uncomfortable. Go to the next exit, 3 lefts make a right, etc...think logically and develop common sense if needed, trust your gut, if it doesn't feel or look right, it probably isn't.
Great video when I get a trip plan from my company I always break out the atlas and used a erasable marker and plot out my trip and most of the time I would find and easy or faster route .
gunit 010 yes you’re right, but in my case I would like to physically look at the turns and between what roads I’m going. Road Atlas will give me that information. That’s just me
This is so important. I got lazy a couple months ago, didn't check my route from Philly to Long Island, just relied on GPS. The GPS glitched and I ended up in Midtown Manhattan. Fck that noise. Never again.
+AliensAnonymous Wow, that is crazy. Yes you definitely learned your lesson with following the GPS. Glad everything was okay I hope. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Hey Qvo Junior, oye vato I'm gonna be honest and say I love your channel. You have top quality content, and material for many newbies. When I started driving trucks back in the mid 2000s, there wasn't smart phones with GPS, there wasn't tablets with GPS. I had to learn to use maps, I did mostly local so I was okay. I would miss the exits here and there when I went out of state a few times. Man I wish I would have had you as a trainer, you seem to teach your students so much valuable info. My question is did you have a good trainer to teach you all tricks of the trade, or did you have learn all these skills on your own time?
I really appreciate it and thanks for watching the videos. I would also like to thank you for your support. Yes I had a good trainer myself and he taught me a lot of things. I STILL TO DATE USE those methods and its what I teach my students. I have fine tuned (tweaked) those methods and implemented some of my own. I love to teach those who want to be taught. I am strict but that is because this is no JOKE. I like everyone else wants to go home and see their families. Thank you again and be safe out there 🇭🇳👍🏽😎👍🏽🇭🇳
@@JuniorHonduras I'm glad to hear you take driving a truck as a serious matter, it really is something to take serious, a small mistake can make a big change in people's life. You have a great attitude on camera. I wish the best on your driving career, keep up the great content, stay safe during this Corona virus pandemic. Y que Dios te bendiga y tu familia, eres un buena persona con un corazon grande, quiero ver que tu canal siga cresiendo!☝️😎👌
So why did the clearance off i95 in new York City after going over the GW bridge say 12 feet 10 inches yet it is indicated as a truck route on the atlas?
in ny mile marker start at NewYork city and the further away you the higher the number and vt is the same way we are a small state that we have few exits that they do not mark them by mile by the number of exits
+darren quick You are on tbe turnpike. Yes you are right not by mile marker but by exit and they are spread every 7-10miles apart. Very confusing at times. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Appreciate this video bro it's very informative I know it's kind of common sense, but sence ain't that common these days technology is taking it away from the younger generation. Even myself and I'm 28 I haven't ever had to use a damn Atlas or Map period I've always had google since I started driving.
a little confusing towards the end of the video, do i look at the big map first to see which interstate runs thru the states im going thru, or do i find the location route first?
+Danb o Yes I have the whole pre-trip inside and out. I the link below is the video which will give you access to everything you may need. Click on the link and in the DESCRIPTION you will see the other links. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍 Link to video: ruclips.net/video/qWScr7pd7bo/видео.html
Should you avoid all major cities, if not then what indications tell you its not gonna be difficult to drive through? I'm guessing a lot of roads close together would indicate a lot of traffic
you seem to say that an even road could be marked north or west? its a non sens.. even road are west to east odd road are south to north the only exception is if you go to Canada and you drive in Ontario, those rules does not apply.. but everywhere else in north america, those rules apply!

Some of the statement made in this video are not 100% accurate. The 405 in Cali does not loop around & the 235 in Oklahoma does not loop around.

Thanks guys... i’ve been driving for decades and I never knew a lot of work you shared👍‼️
My companies gps took me to a place I almost didn’t get out of. That’s the last time I will ever blindly trust a gps.
Wow, that was amazing information, thank you for taking the time to share it!

It's called a "spur" into the city!
Great info Junior, you are the best trainer and you really know how to break down info so that the student can process it. great job Bro Great job.

Thanks. That was great. I’m in a course about commercial trucking. And your video was rockstar😀
Learning about maps. Thank you ! Don’t want to depend on a GPS . Always good to know without depending on all these smart devices that can go out !👍👍👍
Yeah, watched a lot of people talk about their experiences already and they all said to never rely on a GPS. A lot of times they may not be Truck Friendly
This video is going to help me with my map test tomorrow thanks so much for this info.
As long as it doesn’t add too many miles on my trip, I’ll def make use of those loop around truck routes. Hate driving in major cities if I’m not picking or dropping there.
I'm just movin my rv south and old school atlas looks way better than all the apps online. Thanks
Thanks for the info! Great and very useful information!! Thank you! 🙏
Great information Junior. Thank you for the time and great explanation. May Yahuah bless you and yours my brother trucker😁
Wow! That was an awesome vlog! Very informative! (not a truck driver)😋
Thanks for the video junior 👍🙏
Thank you and thanks for watching. Glad I was able to help 🇭🇳👍🏽😎👍🏽🇭🇳
would also like to add, if you miss a turn or exit, don't panic...even if it is uncomfortable. Go to the next exit, 3 lefts make a right, etc...think logically and develop common sense if needed, trust your gut, if it doesn't feel or look right, it probably isn't.
+nomdeguerre13 you are 100% correct on that 👍👍
+Junior Honduras Jake jr. video I wanted to know how to find some address in a big city
3 lefts make a right??? can u explain further and give more details on this logic
Great video when I get a trip plan from my company I always break out the atlas and used a erasable marker and plot out my trip and most of the time I would find and easy or faster route .
+Orlando Mercado Yes that is good and a very good idea on the erasable marker. Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Thank you, I forgot to mention n the marker only works on laminated paper
+Orlando Mercado Yes, 👍👍
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍

thank you.
for the information

What if your destination is not on a truck route?
Watching your videos after driving 10 hours and 58mintes
I am not a truck driver but I'm trying to learn how to read one of these so I wont have to keep depending on GPS off my cell phone
Thank you sir
you seem to say that an even road could be marked north or west? its a non sens..
even road are west to east
odd road are south to north
the only exception is if you go to Canada and you drive in Ontario, those rules does not apply.. but everywhere else in north america, those rules apply!
thank you for doing this
Well, I just figured that it's wise to buy up to date road atlases.
great video man thank you that was a big help
Man..... I wish I woulda had you got a trainer
I really appreciate you watching and thank you 👍
you smart man good!
State route or state road?
I have no doubt there are proper atlases in electronic form. What's wrong with using those, rather than dragging along this giant book?
Junior usted podría subir otro video igual pero en español gracias
+fernando castellon ok vere a ver 👍😎👍
I think I’ve been on a lot of roads that wouldn’t be considered truck routes on an atlas
