Up for sale is a remarkably complete, vintage historical lot featuring the 1955 Household Goods Carriers' Bureau Mileage Guide No. 6, alongside its key cumulative updates:
Supplement No. 3 (1956) and Supplement No. 5 (1959).
Published in conjunction with Rand McNally & Company, these heavy softcover guides were the absolute authority used by the mid-century trucking industry and the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to determine legal highway mileage rates across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
What makes this lot special:
As noted on the top left of the 1959 edition, "Supplements Nos. 3 and 5 Contain All Changes." This means you are buying the complete, definitive historical routing record for this entire regulatory period. No missing gap updates!
