    Are you an owner-operator or a company driver?
    Which state do you live in?

    I think you might just get out on the road for a few weeks then ask yourself the question. (Just don’t get yourself killed or worse, kill someone else!)

    You may want to join this organization. Seriously.... The topography of the entire earth goes up and down......over and over again. Are you scared of going up and down hills/mountains? If so, why? Did you have a bad experience? How long have you been driving? As truck drivers, we go up and down hills and mountains daily. I really do not understand your question.

    I know, especially over that mount eagle coming from Nashville towards Chattanooga, or across i75 there also before you get into Chattanooga.....Tennessee is just mountains in general lol........and western North Carolina is a bear if you're not familiar with the curves through the great smoky mountains.....and cumbersome gap.....

    I don’t think mont eagle is that bad. Used to run it weekly when I was running Illinois to Florida.
