Mountain Directory for Truckers, RV, and MotorHome Drivers

MOUNTAIN DIRECTORY supplies vital information to travelers, especially truckers, RV & motorhome drivers by giving detailed descriptions of over 250 mountain passes in eleven western states (AZ, CA, CO, ID, MT, NV, NM, OR, UT, WA & WY). This information is important to drivers of heavy vehicles because it involves their safety & the protection of the enormous investments in their vehicles. By knowing what lies ahead, overheated engines & transmissions & burned out brakes can be avoided. These problems can be life threatening. The descriptions include how long & how steep the grades are along with unusual features such as runaway truck ramps, narrow roads, narrow shoulders, switchbacks, numerous sharp curves, & other information the driver of a heavy vehicle should know about BEFORE attempting the pass. The driver can determine what percentage grade he & his vehicle are comfortable with & avoid the steeper grades or at least be prepared for them. The book covers state, U.S., & Interstate highways. MOUNTAIN DIRECTORY has been reviewed in COAST TO COAST MAGAZINE, FAMILY MOTOR COACHING MAGAZINE, SOUTHERN RV, CAMPING CANADA THE RV LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE, TRAILER LIFE, RV TIMES MAGAZINE, the SACRAMENTO BEE, the WASHINGTON TIMES, the RENO GAZETTE & others.
