13. When we were full-timers

we got our hands on a sort of roadmap book made especially for truckers that specifically listed clearances. Since we were carrying a giant 6' satellite dish on top of our 5th wheel (the previous owners had installed it, and we just kept it, as this was in the early '90s, long before streaming, etc.), knowing height clearances well in advance was pretty crucial.

I'm pretty sure we bought the book at a truck stop (which makes sense). I don't know if they still make it.
