First edition of this essential HHGCB mileage guide issued just weeks before Pearl Harbor and the entry of the United States into World War II. Originally established in 1936 after the passage of the Reed-Bulwinkle and Interstate Commerce Commission Acts the HHGCB organized to file the required mileage tariffs with the ICC and issued this guidebook. This mileage guide contained maps from the Rand McNally Co. together with charts to determine highway distances between principal points in the United States and allow transport charges to be computed. This guidebook offers an essential snapshot of not only the existing transportation network during World War II but also the vital routes of trucking goods across the country locally or into Canada and Mexico prior to the creation of the Interstate Highway System later authorized in 1956 by President Eisenhower. The supplement updated many of the mileage references following the War acknowledging the tremendous build-up of infrastructure during and in Post-War America. The HHGCB continued to operate in assorted consolidations and mergers until the 2007 decision eliminating all motor carrier rate bureaus.
