Runaway Truck!

We were coming back from our weekend trip, and saw this on I-77 coming down out of Virginia into NC. I personally have need seen a truck so far up the ramp.

Yep at mile marker 3

Probably just taking his 10 and trying to get as far off the road as he could. All so he didn't have to listen to all then nasty jake brakes.

I hate driving down that mountain in my personal vehicle.

I know someone else that used a emergency parking spot, too

I’ve been up and down that mountain many many times. It really isn’t that bad. I know of several that are far worse. However I always see trucks coming off on the NC side with smoking brakes. I have no idea what makes it that difficult.

I can see a problem in Winter. However, I've seen "smokers" on I64 heading out of Charleston to VA. I don't get it. You're brakes ARE SMOKING!! WHY ARE YOU STILL HEADING DOWNHILL???!!

At least stop and cool off.

Fancy Gap is a PITA. Always wrecks there.
