Link to map showing named stretches of road

Don't know any links, but if you pay attention to the free magazines for truckers at truck stops, they fequently have articles about the most dangerous roads and where they are located!!

 

What do you care what they are called?

But, if you really want to know, use Google and it will tell you where they are.

Having said that, there are several very dangerous grades that have no name.

Just watch what you're doing wherever you are.

As a new driver, you best keep it very slow regardless what anyone else is doing.

You can go too slow all the time, you can only go too fast one time. . .

 

BTW, Cabbage is not called "Cabbage Patch," it is called "Cabbage." (actually, it's called "Cabbage Hill" but no one says "hill," it's just called "Cabbage.")

 

I don't see what the big deal is with Donner/Cabbage/EisenhowerTunnel (sorry,forget the name of the hill down into Denver from there). Not on dry pavement, anyway.

In my first month I've been down those three (and others) with heavy (44000) loads and not had a single issue. You just see the 6% sign and downshift as you come up to the grade. If you need to, you shift again.

Jake or no, on dry pavement, they're less stress going down than going up. (yeah, I did the west side of Donner the other day with my Jake turned off. Annoying, yes, scarey,no)

Of course, this winter I could have other things to say- but snow and ice are far different from dry, anyway
