Couldn't have been US11 in Durham. US 11, like you said paralles I-81 until it gets to Tennessee. Eventually, in TN, US 11 parallels I-59 all the way to NOLA.
You may have picked us US 501 which goes slightly northwest and eventually crosses US 11 in the Shenandoah Valley.

I don't know that it is possible without touching some interstate.
We just got back in, picked up US 11 in I think Durham NC and took it and 15 to upstate NY. The only part that really sucked was from the VA/WVa line to Hagarstown MD the speed limit never breaks 45mph.
We found it a very pleasant drive for the most part. 11 parallels 81, often so close that both our GPS and S&T would jump the route onto 81.
We have a truck and 25Ft trailer and had no issues in towns we passed though.
