The only way that a motor carrier's road atlas really differs from a regular road map is in its size and that it shows scale houses and ports of entry (denoted by a red circle and black arrow pointing to the specific location of the scale house). North is to the top; south is to the bottom.

A good website that gives guildlines for learning the main roads in Maryland or anywhere?
Google Maps. Other than that, a road atlas. The ideal way to learn roads is really to travel them, but it's easier when you've done things like running 18 wheelers over-the-road... if your occupation doesn't have you traveling in such a fashion, you don't get as much of an opportunity. So, my recommendation.. carry a good road atlas with you. Even better, go to any major truck stop (Flying J/Pilot, TA/Petro, Love's, AMBEST), and you can buy the Rand McNally Motor Carriers Road Atlas there much cheaper than you would find it at a book store (up to 50% less at times), and it'll be useful for at least a few years before you'll want an updated one. GPS is good, but, like any electronic item (not to mention one which relies on good contact with satellites and - in the case of smartphone GPS systems - data reception), there will be times when it fails.
