Depending on where you're trying to get to, I-40 is generally the preferred route into North Carolina.
US 129 was often seen as a time saving short cut by a lot of companies and drivers that really didn't know how bad the road was. Even if you make it through there, it's not any faster. Right until you get into the Dragon, the road itself isn't that bad - generally a four lane non-divided... but once you get to the lake in Tallassee, TN and the Dragon... well.. lets just say it narrows. FAST.
