    If they are not, they should be. I was born and raised nearby and you get around that section of N.C. you better know the roads or stay with the "big roads".

    He must have dropped part of his load elsewhere and was heading for another location to finish unloading. Because he certainly was not 100% loaded.

    The portion of CA-2 that goes through mountains of Los Angeles forest has No Trucks sign. It's a very tiny windy road. I see sometimes tankers go to there. I don't know what they haul. Fuels, lubes or chemicals for fighting wildfires...

    It’s amazing there was no fuel spill or fire. That road is notorious for having drivers push their luck trying to take it.
