Although I cant say what its like now, the worst road Ive ever driven on has to be US 69, from I 44 (Big Cabin) down to Dallas. I swear, whoever poured those slabs must have been high. Every single one of them were like steps to the next one. Getting off of I44, there was a truck stop there. Had to stop and make sure everything in the truck that wasn't nailed down was in the floor.... because thats where it was going to end up anyway. Dang road would beat you to death.
Oh, and in Arkansas....coming out of Memphis. Think it was I 40. Just stopped at a truck stop. Bought a huge 44 oz coke. Put it in cup holder.....of a 100+k $$ tractor that was less than a week old. Hit a friggin pothole so bad...it bounced that drink out of holder into the floor. Talk about being pissed.... Like to have never got all the sticky out of there....grrrrr

Some middle Tennessee roads, Lewis , Hickman Lawrance . Not really that bad but he never seen then like of unpaved roads . Can stand much of the local government here in McMinn but will say 95% of our county roads are paved or at least tar and chipped . Dusty roads are a pain ...

ARDOT has been working on I40 for decades. I lived in Little Rock in 1983 and they were working on it from Memphis to Forest City back then.
And then there's the Great Forest City Road Block....... Local PD, County and State Troopers BLOCKED I40 and went vehicle to vehicle checking, searching, etc. It ended up costing them millions of $$$ in court.
The older I get the more I understand why roosters just scream to start their day.

Arkansas I40 through Memphis or Dallas.
Re: Worst roads you've ever driven on...
Anywhere in Jackson MS. That place is a literal hellhole. Ive never ever seen such government incompetence.
And I40 between Memphis and Little Rock. Seems like it was rough for 30+ years. I haven’t been on it in several years so hopefully it’s improved.
