Long grades in the Appalachian's
Drove through the Appalachians on interstate 64 going to Virginia Beach in the car and noticed a 7% grade east of Beckley, WV. I'm not sure I want to tackle that in my truck with my 5th wheel without ...

I am sure there are worse out there, but that grade has claimed many a trucker over the years. Several years ago they put a mandatory brake check area at the top of the hill for trucks. My only advice is just don't let it get away from you.
I personally hate the haul back up it!
Study the Mary Ingalls (fictionalized book titled "Follow the River")story before you go through there. The bridge over the New River at the bottom is named for her.
Enjoy the trip!
