    My worst ever was running I 79 in PA. The bridges all had 2 foot rises and drops. Had airride 279 with air bags under cab, a 48 ft Eagle with airbags and still couldnt hold on. Would rather have run 19. 2nd worst was I 5 in CA. Springtime up in Utah on 6 to Price.

    Most of you don't remember I 80 in PA back in the 80's. Broken springs, blown air bags, bent steering rods, etc. Unless you drove it you really can't imagine just how bad is was. When they started repairing it out of 312 miles all was under construction except 39 miles. It was a nightmare. I 40 in AR was just as bad to. I 20 in LA has always been a rougher than usual road. As for air bags, they didn't help much on I 80 and I 40.

    I-80 in PA was bad in the late 70's too. The state police would give guys tickets for failure to do the minimum speed, 45mph, as they had slowed down to save their trucks.

    Get on some real time lease roads and it will take you 2 hrs to roll 9 miles. Pretty common out around Malaga NM and central west Texas.

    Wonder why you never see any deer or goats on those pig trails. . . ?

    For me I-40 Arkansas westbound, from about milemarker 200 or so up to about mm195. The loop around Little Rock is bad too. Generally, any state that used "Mob"crete slabs is pretty bad.

    The Grapevine north and south, the potholes are so big elephants live in them. Theres always and I mean always trucks on the side of the road with blown out tires from bent rims, whenever they encounter these holes... its a disgrace but then again, its califphonia.
