Owner operator truckers hate it. Too much stress on there rigs in both directions some end crawling the entire length. Welcome to Calgary Mach4!
Yea, I couldn't help thinking about what the road would be like in winter. I like to watch Highway Thru Hell and can't believe what the truckers and travelers deal with. It's an amazing highway for sure, one I've wanted to run(in summer) for a long time.
