We have been through the North Carolina hills and gourges many times with no trouble. Just pay attention to the posted signs and limits and you will be great. And, the big truckers are NOT the problem. If they can make it, so can you. Be aware of your and their limitations and just fit in. Most thankful I have ever been was while approaching and passing an ON ramp I-40, west of Ashland, downhill grade, when a car rushed up the ramp, cut in front of our Motor Home then jammed on his brakes and almost stopped because he couldn't cut into the left lane. The only reason we are alive is because we were in a line of PROFESSIONAL, TRAINED truckers that observed the conditions and probability of unexpected conditions. I, and at least four truckers behind me, locked up everything we had, while the one front of me stomped on it and was able to get our of the way. Take your time and enjoy, it is a beautiful drive through that area.
