    You can be driving 100mph out here and a Volvo will still be up your butt.

    Don't let them guys intimidate you.

    Do not get in that left lane in the gorge. If the trooper sees you its a huge fine.

    I'd rather be behind someone taking it easy going through the gorge, than sitting for 5 hours while they remove an overturned rig of someone who felt the need to push themselves.

    We really don’t know how it’s loaded with these load we pickup at the yard. Half the loads don’t even have load locks put in. Couple weeks ago I had some overturned pallets and frozen shrimp nearly pouring out the back doors... switched at the yard & pre sealed.

    If you know about it before you get to the 40/81 split or Asheville if coming in the other direction.
