Hwy 38 from I 5 to Florence Oregon?

We usually take I 5 to the Beltline in Eugene to Florence. Coming from Seven Feathers, taking hwy 38 would save 40 miles, but takes about H the same amount of time. Is 38 a big rig friendly route? Thanks!

Coming out of 7 Feathers RV park, I go north to 138 over to 38. Good RV route and scenic.

I took hwy 38 a couple years ago. Gorgeous drive! Especially the second half, between the rock face and the river.

It's a smaller road than 126. Definitely off the beaten path. I liked it better for that reason.

There's a tiny rv park about halfway, right on the river, mostly seasonal locals I think. Super cheap PA price, highly recommended. Hairpin turn to get in, but I saw a big rig in there.

I've driven Hwy 126-Eugene/Florence as well as Hwy 38, both are good roads but does seem like fewer turn outs on 38 if you are behind a slow vehicle or if you want to pull out. We took it with our Motorhome and a 16' ATV trailer, going both routes - really is a toss up. The plus is you avoid Beltline and the Eugene traffic, downside is few more log trucks on 38.

Take 138 at Sutherlin to 38 to Florence. We've done it multiple times with our 40' motorhome. It's a popular route for RVers and best done during the week for less traffic. Friday is bad.
