    Not bad a few stop lights from 58 to 95. Just watch your speed in the small towns.

    US 460 is "gentle" rolling hills....more flat than going thru Charlottesville, VA

    I prefer it as opposed to I-64 & I-81

    nah, lmao. only been at it 3yrs come oct 1st. figured to get out of it by now but find myself stuck. cant find a non driving job to match the pay. i still learn everyday, so figure i may never make it to trucker status.

    Small towns spaced out a ways. I knew it as US 50 in many areas I think. I need to examine a map of that particular stretch west of Suffolk. I spent an awful lot of time along that road westward. I think 85 at Emporia comes to mind perhaps, a truckstop there. Should still be a nice little one. Room for maybe 50 trucks on three acres.

    But the biggest thing you need to watch is the people with long driveways they will absolutely come out in front of you. Ive left some rubber along there a time or two.
