    Trying to figure out if this is ok to drive through with a regular set up Semi Truck and 53' trailer. If I am reading it right it might have an area that is a no go? Any help would be great.

    Pretty sure 20 is GTG, but you can't take 126? past Satiam Junction. So either 20 all the way to Eugene, or roll down towards Crater Lake and come out on 5 at Roseburg.

    I run that route pretty often, but with a 48' flat.
     
    Siinman and Oxbow Thank this.

    Well, maybe not. Looking at streetview on 20 before 126 and found this. Nevermind, yes, i usually get off 20 and take 126 into Eugene

    Looks like I could take 22 to 20 and be fine maybe? I got a little confused on the map I was looking at and assumed the same thing on 20 off of I5. Got corrected on that so now looking to see if I can save a few miles instead of back tracking all the way back to 84.

    I know you're good on that section of 20, and looked up 22 and saw no restrictions. Think you'll be fine. Nice relaxing drive too.

    So you're coming out of Salem, ish?
     
    Siinman and Oxbow Thank this.

    Do you have a Motor Carrier's Road Atlas? US 20 is a non truck route between the split with 126 and Sweet Home. You have to use either 126 or 22.

    Did you get this backwards? The Atlas shows you can't take 20 past Satiam Junction.

    Rand McNally Motor Carrier Road Atlas settles the issue. I don't have a current one with me. I did that trip from Ontario, OR to Albany a few times, IIRC. Consult Tripcheck.com for wildfire road closures this time of year.
