Just my luck I'll hit a "rental car convoy" on Route 81, maybe I should
plan on doing some night driving to avoid this mess?

As far as trucks are concerned, I always allow them space and get out
of their way because I know they usually increase their speeds to
get up the next hill! Sometimes I follow the trucks because they
have CB's and know where *most* of the cops are hiding.

The worst problems I've encountered on Route 81 is FOG, and that's 
NO FUN at all.
