I-81 in PA is especially treacherous, especially between Scranton and Harrisburg. Narrow lanes, lots of hills and tractor trailers everywhere.

The section from Hazelton to Ravine is horrid in bad weather...fogged in or pelting rain/snow and the condition of the road isn’t the best. Drove back that way in October and it was a PITA.

Once got caught on that stretch was weekend after Thanksgiving Freezing rain coated road with ice. Next day was start of deer season - a sacred holiday in PA

Could not find anybody from DOT as all were in their hunting cabins

Had to wait for hours until rounded up enough DOY workers to salt/sand the roads

Any incompetence behind the wheel, regardless of vehicle, is a danger. Tractor trailers in and of themselves are not a problem, just as normal motor vehicles themselves are not a problem; it becomes a problem when over-confident, over-worked or overly-cautious people interject their stupidity into the equation.

If you’re familiar with that stretch of highway you surely have to know about I-84 from Scranton over to the NY state line. Probably the most forlorn road in the state. Once you pass Mt. Cobb exit, you’re literally on your own - absolutely nothing, and at night, in winter, nobody until a crash happens and the emergency services finally show up.
