    Hello there,

    is this a good road to take at all for a semi with a 53 ft trailer? My atlas shows as a designated truck route, gps doesn’t route that way. I figured someone would know here.

    Thanks.

    It's doable. Not necessarily the best way. Lot of up and down and plenty of opportunities to check your tail lights. Pay attention to truck route signs.

    It’s a truck route. They even have a little rest area along the way. Nothing in the name of truck services though, so fuel/plan accordingly

    It's not a bad route I used to run it all the time to shave overall miles.
