All photos are available in Just stopping in the road is often not enough...
They use the every bit of both lanes most of the way through, so try to get stopped and pull over as far as possible. Be careful on the grass/gravel, and remember, if you fall and damage your bike your your self, we usually have photos of the trucks and their cab numbers.

Dumb Trucker!!!!!!
I think it's, mother trucker!!
I've been rideing bikes for 23 years,been a trucker for ten.We have freight to move so that you guy will have food in the stores,gas in the fuel stops,every tried to drive a 70 ft 80000# load on a rd like this?Its not a easy,but we have stores to del.to.Maby will stop for a week and when the stores have no goods to buy,no gas to buy,no raw mat.for ur work,no one to pick up the finished product,ie.no jobs..Maby then we'll get some respect.Trucks stop,america stops,its a public rd.not a play ground.GROW UP PEOPLE!
Yeah, but there are other roads that take you around this road and there are PLENTY of signs that warn trucks of the switchback turns and yet they insist on driving through THAT road and destroying it by making big gouges (sp) on the road and getting caught up in turns.
I don't think anyone is saying they want to see trucks stop making their rounds. These trucks are not making deliveries or picking up goods from this area, they are using this road as a shortcut or to avoid scales, and endangering the lives of everyone else who's using it, whether it be for play or utility. Almost every truck we've escorted, on our own time at our own cost mind you, says they'll never come back to this place and they can't believe trucks are even allowed across. In fact, to quote a recent trucker I escorted:
"I want to thank you for helping us through that day, I have no doubt you saved some damage if not life of bike riders. If i had known what i was getting into I would never have taken that route, and apologize to any one whom I put at risk. That route is not restricted to trucks by the state!!! All info available to truckers, in maps, on signs and on gps systems, say that is a legal route to run. that should be changed. if you ever need a letter from a driver to get that done you got it. Thanks again for all your help, and keep cruising the curves. you will see us again, but this time it will be on two wheels, NOT 18!!!"
And as a final point, my father-in-law drives a low boy rig from Robbinsville to Knoxville regularly. He goes around I-40 or the Skyway to avoid crossing Deals Gap due to the danger it puts others in and liability to his company.
Way to put that little fire out KB!! :-)
That's what we get for letting our Rail-Road system go to hell.
Trucker, the next time you deliver to a store, why don't you pick up a litle book called a Dictionary?
You may actually learn to spell correctly.
