    If you ever take LA 3132 from I 20 over to I 49 south you will find out what rough is. I 20 is nice compared to that. pos road.

    69/75 Ok/TX made my wife want to get out of the truck and go back home last year when she first started riding in my truck.

    I think it's the smell around Shreveport that puts people in a sensitive mood making the road seem worse than it is.

    It's like some foul sewage treatment or rendering plant spewing out odors that just hang in the air forever. Like the Eternal Bog of Stench.

    Like mentioned take 220 bypass.

    Have y'all ran I-10 around Lake Charles, LA? Another bad rough spot.

    Or highway 190 from I-49 to Baton Rouge?? Make you think the dash is going to come out of your truck.

    Are you kidding? The 220 bypass is the only stretch of road that I DAMAGED my plasticadia driving on. It blew out a cab shock on one of the bridge transitions.

    I-20 through Shreveport and 220 around are horrible.

    There is nothing wrong with that stretch of I-20 according to Mack E and his magical eye in the sky. You are obviously just a pansya$$. Lol

    Well, your grandfather probably drove a spring ride truck with no air shocks on the cab across that same stretch of highway and didn’t say boo. ;)

    Be VERY careful 20 eastbound getting off on the 5 to TA (west shreveport)

    There’s 2 or 3 slabs back to back that feel like 6” drops. You’ll tank out quick if your not going slow.
