How dangerous is LA-Seattle route?

Or it could represent super bowl 18. Last time my silver and black won a super bowl ... ya it’s been that long sad face

 

My late father was not a trucker, but he covered a lot of miles in his day. By car, small trucks working on farms in his youth, and motorcycles also as a young man. He was old school Harley Davidson in the 40s and early 50s.
His younger brother was killed on his bike on a foggy night near Bakersfield CA. Years later, his second brother was involved in a horrific car crash near Fresno and was rendered quadriplegic for the rest of his life.
Dad feared the fog most of all. When I've got to deal with it I say Dad, watch over me.

 

Winter season almost over and by the time next heavy snow will arrive you will know what and where you will need to take extra caution, and khow and when you need to use chains

 

Yeah that big mountain range just south of medford , can be sketch ur first couple times. Just take it slow and easy . There is always somebody doing 60+ down that mountain

 

We have fog over here on the tidewater some days.

I remember one incident above Grantsville in Western Maryland. Pulled up to a corner. Stopped. 6 am no traffic. Walked around corner of intersection and left a bright red flare at the eastbound 68 ramp turn. back to truck, turned wide got onto bridge found the flare at 15 feet came around left past it down the ramp.

Really dangerous fog the kind that you 6 feet from me would not be seen.

I havent been back since. Particularly as I learned why the locals wait a while before going out into that soup.

 

... that somebody is me. Get outta the way

 

Oh for crying out loud. The run from LA to Seattle is a cake walk and a sweet run if it pays well. I've lived in the bay area for 40+ years and been driving commercial on the west coast for years. Guess how many times I've had to chain up in the last 5 years on I-5, ZERO. If they put up chain restrictions, wait a couple hours and it's over. Much easier driving the I-5 than just about anywhere else in the winter where you have to chain up constantly and roads are icy. Hills are just part of truck driving, and you learn quickly how to drive properly on up and down grades. Follow speed limits, don't drive overweight, and don't drive like an A-hole. You'll do fine and enjoy the route.

 

I hope you're getting good pay because remember California's 55 MPH speed limit and Oregon and Washington is 60 MPH. Also, those hills will slow you down a lot.
