    I start school in 2 weeks and the company I’m going to operates on the east coast, how nerve racking is it to drive a big rig thru the steep mountains?

    You WILL lose both testicles. Other than that, it's fine.

    Those are not steep.

    Excepting White Sulphur Springs. There is truckstop at the bottom. A living memorial to the deadly hill.

    Mountains are out west. Just hills in the east.

    It goes like this.

    Small hills east, older than anything else in the land. Themselves bigger than rockies eons ago.

    You go midwest. Then discover the crooked ozarks. Then finally hit the west.

    Hopefully you have your mountain pants on when you get out here.

    And there is Black...

    Sandstone...

    Monongahela... (400 miners were crushed or atomized by mine about 600 to 1000 plus feet down 40 years ago more or less...)

    The list goes on.
