NCDOT warns large truck drivers to avoid using non-truck routes in western North Carolina

The North Carolina Department of Transportation issued a warning to large truck drivers on its Facebook page.

NORTH CAROLINA, USA — The North Carolina Department of Transportation is warning large truck drivers to be careful on highways and roads near the North Carolina-Tennessee border. 

“Using non-truck routes to cross the NC-TN border has consequences,” NDOT said in a Facebook post.

There were more than 100 tickets issued to drivers in a single day, according to NCDOT.

NDOT said the only large truck routes to and from western North Carolina are I-77 to I-81 or I-40 to U.S. 74. 

“If GPS apps send you to other routes, don't try it. Doing so may lead to a ticket, getting stuck or even overturning,” NCDOT said in the post.
