How dangerous is LA-Seattle route?

take the job
its just a road like many others

 

Yeah, it's "safe" if you want it to be. You will get to know the road like the back of your hand.

Not so you can hammer down faster... But so you know where the blind/hazard areas are. Always expect som one to loose it and come to a stop right in the middle of the road in front of you. IMO, don't drive faster than you can stop.

No problemo.

 

If you've ever been over the Smokies, or the Poconos, or over the summit from Salt lake to Denver you can do the route you mentioned. The other ones are much harder.
I'd trade with you. Sounds alot better then the BS I'm doing.

 

Oh it's so dangerous.
You're running through the communist region.
California is getting ready to fall off into the ocean.
Watch out they don't throw you in jail for violating the covid19 lockdown.

 

You guys aren't taking this driver seriously. My 2 cents. Take the job. You will learn the tricks but Shasta can be a real pucker in bad weather. Also it was I-5 had that fire shutdown. So it was a worthy question.

 

Fog and can be dangerous, rain is much more routine. Snow is what you need to be prepared for and be ready to chain up often during snow storms. But you never know...some winters Siskiyou summit gets almost no snow...
Best of luck!

 

The road is fine. Just north of LA you gave the Grapevine hill it can get windy and has even snowed on it before. Like other post said in Northern CA you got Shasta to go over. They can put a chain law up on it in the winter sometimes.

 

Fog, rain, and steep grades are all part of being a Trucker. Not every route can be a Chicken Run. (400 or so miles of flatland)

 

Pretty area nice driving no problems in my book , unless you hit snow and ice in the mountains. Chicken coops are crazy in Oregon , the real communist state worse than communist California. Los Angeles might be more dangerous then the mountains. Ever hear of the Rodney King riots ??? Remember that truck driver pulled out of his truck and almost beaten to death ? Yes good idea to have a glock with you in your rig with plenty of ammo
