CHICAGO, July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rand McNally today released the new annual edition of its bestselling Motor Carriers' Road Atlas.

Now a leader in technology solutions for commercial transportation, Rand McNally has continued to produce an updated printed Motor Carriers' Road Atlas for truck drivers for more than 40 years.
