Glad I'm not the only one upset by this. The only stretch of road I can think of that's near as bad is i40 through all of NM and AZ

[-]

I’m from Oklahoma and our roads get plenty of shit but I swear I-40 gets worse and a worse the further west you go. NM and especially AZ seem to be the worst until you get to the vast nothingness in CA

[-]

Roughrdr@reddit

Least they fixed a stretch of 35 coming out of Kansas into Oklahoma. Used to be horrid how bad it was.

[-]

Artistic_Alfalfa_860@reddit

Oklahoma roads are okay, it's your speed trap fetish that I hate.

[-]

Tasty_Lead_Paint@reddit

Speed traps are a racket

Emergency_Ad1152@reddit

I don’t know if you’ve been back to I-40 but most of it has been repaved. Construction traffic has been a pain though.

[-]

Artistic_Alfalfa_860@reddit

I'm about to be in a few days. Can't wait.

Those two and I-72 entering Mississippi are the three worst routes I've been on so far.

[-]

UOLZEPHYR@reddit

I70. I40 nm and AZ (but I think AZ is worse, especially at the west end weigh station)
I20 Mississippi from vicksburg all the way through Jackson. So many potential holes and shit roads my refrigerator door wouldn't stay closed

[-]

BidenFedayeen@reddit

I remember some shit roads in Mississippi around that area. I made the mistake of forgetting to put my bungee cord back on my refrigerator. Never again.

us78 aka i22nis horrific through the lot lizard walkway by that Loves that nobody respectable is ever found at.

Puzzleheaded_Pea_753@reddit

It's been 11 years since I first drove through Indiana and I can still remember thinking, 'But this is a toll road, it's supposed to have extra money for maintenance!'

[-]

USS_peepee@reddit

Take US 40 instead.

Welcome to the great state of Indiana, then. It doesn't get better.

[-]

MrShorty42@reddit

Can confirm it never gets better

UOLZEPHYR@reddit

The best thing about Indiana - is leaving Indiana

[-]

myfirstgold@reddit

Until you drive into Michigan and start looking at Indiana roads as an actual blessing from God and start missing what you had.

[-]

UOLZEPHYR@reddit

I never had a bad trip to MI except for battle creek area and US23

[-]

Suge_White_619@reddit

Bingo

[-]

Riyeko@reddit

I put my back out on i70 a few months ago going from Ohio into Indiana.

Don't worry. The roads get worse in some places.

[-]

koryx1@reddit

Did a run through it recently, absolutely hated it

[-]

fordry@reddit

I slow down. I encourage all other truckers to as well. Why rip up the truck of they won't take care of the road? And if all the trucks are doing well under the speed limit maybe it will piss everybody off enough that they'll actually do something about it.

[-]

Sharp-Subject-6192@reddit (OP)

yeah i was cruising at 50-55. I could sense the anger behind me lmaoooo

[-]

Fuzzy1598@reddit

Uncontrolled rage entering Indiana and happy to leave.

"Pure Michigan"

FUCK!

homie should go through any hwy in arizona

[-]

RKK-Crimsonjade@reddit

I remember I 65 getting paved. 1978 sat in traffic with my mom and dad waiting on the state to repair the road.

[-]

genosx71@reddit

The granny lane is MAD fucked up too. Hammer lane be smooth

[-]

Puzzleheaded-Hat5803@reddit

And it's a toll road... obviously those tolls don't go to maintaining it 🙄

[-]

Riyeko@reddit

I70 in Indiana and Ohio aren't toll roads

[-]

Puzzleheaded-Hat5803@reddit

I was thinking of the 80 lol 😆

[-]

StandForAChange@reddit

You thinking of i80?

[-]

Puzzleheaded-Hat5803@reddit

Nah the 70 thru indiana

[-]

Virtchoo@reddit

You know, I kept trying to find ways around 30. It’s a nice road, but between the Illinois border and Fort Wayne there are so many stop lights. Tried 70 once. Once. Never again if I don’t need to.

[-]

Wonderful_County8169@reddit

Welp indiana is another Michigan… like for like!

[-]

StandForAChange@reddit

Yep, it’s awful. Once you hit the “welcome to Indiana sign” going westbound you better get in that left lane if you can…dont sit in it too long or you might have a cop flash his lights at you to get the fuck over. Quite annoying.

[-]

Elodins_Haven@reddit

They could have just saved money and not put the “welcome sign”. You know the minute you hit Indiana

[-]

KarmicEQ@reddit

I think I've caught air on that one.

[-]

StandForAChange@reddit

It’s my almost daily route but usually after midnight I come back so I can get away with a long time in the left lane… although that lane is becoming shit too.

[-]

FreeAndRedeemed@reddit

That immediate huge bump west bound is comically awful.

[-]

xccoach4ever@reddit

That 1st one westbound damn near throws you out of your seat.

[-]

kennyj943@reddit

I Think I-20/ I-59 Mississippi Is Worse

[-]

Drzzit666@reddit

You people evidently weren't around years ago. Arkansas was like driving on a washboard from one end to the other on I-55, I-40 and I-30. It would loosen your teeth it was so rough

[-]

Twisty12223@reddit

Indiana. Makes you glad to see Ohio.

[-]

Junior-Credit2685@reddit

Ugh ugh ugh almost there! Hold boobs until the sign!! Fuck! My drink fell outta the cup holder again!! At least I’m in Ohio now so I can lean over and pick it up!

[-]

Riyeko@reddit

Without ending up in the ditch because the roads yanking you all over kingdom come

[-]

hard-of-haring@reddit

Not for the road conditions

[-]

Princess_Wensicia@reddit

And here’s our weekly bitching post about Indiana’s roads!

You’re right, mate. It is horrendous. I blew an air bag on these roads, shattered a TV and a coccyx. I hate it.

[-]

stankneggs74@reddit

The best part about driving a truck in Indiana. It's mostly wide open. The worst part besides the 4wheelers, I65, and Indy; you have to drive on their roads.

[-]

Embarrassed-Spread87@reddit

I guess none of you have driven in California?? ALL The roads SUCK!! It’s unbelievable how someone could’ve actually been paid to lay some of the roads around here!!

Extension_Note_7598@reddit

Truckers should be allowed to charge Indiana for having to use its bad roads….no sleeping and definitely damaging to the truck. Went through last week hauling a 40,000 lb trailer of class 1 explosives praying the potholes and mega bumps wouldn’t set off a light show.
