    Looks like an awful lot of two lane for a big truck. But I've never driven that route.

    Usually ‘not recommended for trucks’ mean that there are obstacles encountered that will prove difficult for a driver...like multiple hairpin turns where you’d have to use both lanes to get through.

    “But Six, it looks like a straight line on a map.”

    Yep...

    You are good to go. I drove that stretch multiple times to get from Douglas to Nogales. GPS wants me to go all the way up to I10 then drop back down. Nope. Lol.

    I got detoured on to a road like that. It was a nightmare. Did not have fun. It was in Indiana.

    But that particular road is fine for trucks. Do not know why trucks are not recommended.

    Cell service might be pretty sparse.
