We took the I-77 route from NE Indiana to Myrtle Beach this past April. Unless they have rebuilt the road between then and now, the section south of Charleston was some of the bumpiest road I'd ever encountered. At one point, I thought I had something wrong with my setup (32 ft fiver pulled with a Chevy 2500 HD). Pulled into a rest stop where a truck driver assured me that it was indeed the road. As our route took us through Atlanta on the way back, we took I-75 north with no problems. So, good news is that it is the shortest path, the grades are manageable, and the scenery is great. Bad news is that it could be very hard on your rig, as well as you backside. And yes, it is much worse than the roads in your neck of the woods!

When you are in the areas of the rough road on the WV Turnpike if you will get into the left lane it is not rough. When the traffic is not bad I always travel that area in the left or center lane. I know that it is not "polite" but it is much easier on the passengers and the rig.

It's a "galloping-horse" rought road for about 17 miles we take to about mile-marker 61 or so. It'll shake anything off the shelves that isn't tied down or locked up.
