I bought Collins, AA and the Navigator atlases for when I delivered flour nationwide. IIRC those AA large scale ones you see in garden centres and bargain bookshops were better for London route planning, I used the Collins ones for other cities. Navigator I still use occasionally with an Oxfordshire map if Google maps plays silly beggars, but it’s starting to suffer from Atlas Leprosy.
I have an AA truckers Atlas, it’s the 7th edition, that i always carry in my bag , alongside a 10mtr tape. With new drops , multi trailers, and different units to work with, i try not to leave anything to chance with my route planning, and don’t always trust the hight gauge in the cab. I would’nt imagine that councils would resurface roads under bridges, without making sure the signage was correct. At least i hope not

Rob mate, as you suggest I did not mean offend you, and I apologise if I didJust goes to show, different people have different buttons!
Nah you did not REALLY offend me as such mate. I got it that you were joking tbh.
It’s just that anything to do with my kids, (especially the girls)I’m on a bit of a hair trigger and over protective, so maybe the problem is with me. So no need to apologise but thanks anyway.
I have just bought the Philips navigator camping and caravanning club atlas of Britain, £9 + p&p all bridge heights not just a/b roads, over bridge weight restrictions, and width restrictions, main roads named, 100 town and city plans, safety camera locations, and if unit only an awful lot of campsite locations many of which will accommodate you cheaper than services, toilets and showers that are clean, some times food and beverages on site,
The Philips is OK, but, and its a big but, it is not a clear atlas to read by any means, though thats my opinion only.
AA Truckers and AA Close Up Truckers, are the dogs danglers but sadly now well out of print unless someone knows better.
If they do a reprint up to date i’ll buy both, the Close Up is really too hefty for snatching a crafty glimpse at a junction or lights, but it is THE lorry drivers atlas of them all for route planning.

You know what mate that is a bloody good idea parking unit on campsites, I would never have thought of it.
I have seen me in past weekended on previous jobs, unit only waiting for a trailer off monday’s boat, and I wish I had thought of it then, if only for the social side of it in the camp clubs (I mean social clubs on site, not ’ Camp clubs’ 
)
