You'll have no trouble with low branches or any other obstacles on 140. It's becoming an informal truck route connecting southern PA with I81 at Hagerstown without dealing with the Balto metro area. Probably a little shorter than going to Frederick but distance saved will be traded for time at the stop lights in Taneytown and especially. between Westminister and Reisterstown where I795 connects with I695. Friends in the Emmitsburg area opt for the US15 to I70 route. Another option would be Route 97 from Gettysburg through Littlestown to 140 in Westminister. This would be my last choice. I'd go to Frederick and down. And yes, I have towed a tt on the 140 route.
