    No doubt,I was over that thing a bunch of times driving a May truck and it's slow going for sure.
    Last time I did it I was heading to Sparks,NV for a drop at a Walmart Dist Ctr.
    They routed me over the Siskyous and then through the Lassen Nat Forest on highway 89 over to 395 at Susanville,CA.

    Depends where you break down. If you're in the South like I was, things move slow there, and you're dealing with third party shops, but overall very good. They've always got me back on the road. Had a few trailer tire issues, but they were all fixed fast enough that I was still never late on a delivery..

    Mack, Yep, just did it a couple days ago. Luckily I had a lighter load, so i wasn't absolutle crawling. It's the first pass I've seen that comes close to the big mountain passes i'm used to in colorado and wyoming. a little snow on top, but mainly just a wet drive.
