My grandparents sold timber rights to a couple hundred acres they own in WV. The timber company has dirt/gravel roads all over the place, and the trucks are overweight (they operate on THEIR roads, not WV's). My grandparents were t-boned by an overweight log truck that was hauling an overloaded trailer behind it. They were driving a Concorde at the time. Car was banged up, and Granny and Pappy were PISSED, but fine. Shaken up a bit. Uncle was a state trooper, and did a fullinvestigation of the site, logging company settled out of court, but still timber the land. They have to wail on their horns from the top of the grades all the way to the bottom, and 24 hour headlights. It could have been MUCH worse.

Also, taking the mountains over the central part of WV, the coal trucks drive like maniacs on narrow roads, and they pull out in front of you very often. There are 3 active mines that feed onto US-60 and WV 39 there, and that makes it scarier.


"Coal and people have been our two biggest exports for a long time, which has definitely shaped how we think of ourselves." Scott Hill, WV native and historian.
