I'm picking up a load in the morning that goes from Columbus, OH to Fredericksburg, VA. It's going to max out my truck weight-wise. It might even put me a little over the 26k that my straight truck is allowed.
Here's what google recommends for routes:

I-70 would be good but too many weigh stations (is it true they allow 1-2% overweight?). Also, I'm not familiar with the Cumberland, MD to Winchester, VA road they picked. I've driven Berkley Springs to Winchester a few times and that's an ok road.
Rt 50 must be a bugger. That's some pretty hilly terrain and my Streets & Trips map shows a lot of small towns.
So how bad is it? Is it traffic light hell? Are there dedicated lanes for slow moving trucks when needed? Or am I looking at a nice peaceful scenic drive in the country?
What say the sages? Wise trucking dudes and dudettes, what should I do?
Edit: Oh well, the link won't show the route, you'll have to copy and paste " Fredericksburg, VA " to get google to give the routes.
