Driving from Atlanta GA to Knoxville TN

You could also run up 411 from 75 just north of Cartersville. It turns in to 129 and then straight to Knoxville, take 275 through the middle of Knoxville and then 75 North.

411 takes just as long as 75 through Chattanooga. I do it all the time to avoid Chattanooga traffic and that scale.

 

I try to stay outta va/WV I got lost down there on my first trip out alone almost got stuck on one of them no names mountain at night was following the directions that the people I deliver told me to take cause the says it the only way out without getting stuck but the map the drew look like a cartoon pirates map

 

X marks the spot right

 

It really did unfortunately I was to worn out to make sure I understood what they were saying and in a hurry to get somewhere to sleep

 

Oh no. Don't be hopping off onto smaller roads. You be in the Smokies now.

I-75 straight up.

 

Some of us like them little mountain roads when w have the time, interstates are boring.

 

in 35 yrs driving 48 state OTR ,I never made a habit of avoiding scales and had 1 horror story, (I-80 scale near Donner Pass,CA),.

never drove for a mega either.

 

The ones who got me were worse than that. Soo much worse. Dont stop between port jervis and danbury. Particularly at the text stop rest stops, exits 3/4/5/6 iirc are under a bad barracks. Ive seen the 3 trucks with failed carrier bearings for my mechanic buddy trick on 88 around oneonta.

 

That's fine to but I'll keep skipping them just in case they feel like they need a little more money in they pockets cause I like keeping what I work for

 

When the man gets you on the bypass road and asks what you were doing, youve got crohns disease, had to get off the interstate to find somewhere to take an emergency dump before you crapped your pants, and are now trying to route back on.

I crapped myself wins a lot of "what are you doins" even if its just to shut the other party up by sheer awkwardness.
