,the safest way is to go down the Nantahala gorge over to Asheville North Carolina and then go I 40 West. also you can take Highway 294 to Tennessee us 68 north and take that to Sweetwater and get on I75 and go north but I wouldn't recommend that either even though I have done that route. another route is to take 74 West go through the Ocoee gorge to Cleveland Tennessee and then take I 75 all the way up to Knoxville but going through the Ocoee gorge with a tractor trailer isn't the best free either.,honestly I think the best way is to go to Askville and interstate 40.

Commercial vehicles are prohibited thru park. So don't do it.
spacester Thanks this. -
I wouldn't even try. It's probably pretty curvy like US129.
It's not on the list of NC truck restrictions that I have downloaded from a while back but who knows if that's changed.
I would just run US74 to I40 then US411 to US441 to be safe, to hell with the out of route miles.Wild Murphy and spacester Thank this. -

They have turnarounds also on both ends. It's steep and curvy, the coal bucket trailers scrubbed dirt on some of the curves I can't imagine what a 53 van would do. I don't know how much the ticket would be, but it's not worth the miles saved trust me. Grab 40 and be safe.
