I used to drive an 18 wheeler for 4 or 5 years and have been in every state east of the Mississippi River and many others to the west of it.  And  as far as I am concerned  Michigan (Detroit mainly) has the worst highway road system along with Pennsylvania (the entire state) as far as I am concerned.  And the sad thing about it is that they probably spend more money repairing the roads than most places.  Their winters are so bad (Michigan) they are in a constant state of disrepair.  I once drove through one particular pot hole and didn't emerge for a couple minute. :)

 

The best road systems would have to be one of the Southern States (Florida, Georgia, Alabama etc...  The road systems seem to last longer as well because of the warmer weather.  And indeed Florida has some really good roads.   (Kentucky, my home state, is fairly respectable but not the best.  We recently had a large investment in road work and we are also getting a new Interstate system that goes through my town!  I-66.) 

 

I like posts like these. 

Hows Minnesota rank in terms of road conditions?

I have only been through Minnesota once and it was in the summer time.  I don't remember much about the roads being to bad.  So that means they are probably in the middle somewhere.  When I was driving I tried my damndest to stay south as much as possible just due to the snow and ice.  When I first started I went through a bajillion snow storms in Chicago and I decided I was done with that.   But I do remember the ramps in your state and they sucked. :D

On a side note you guys need to respect every truck driver you see.  They have a much harder life than most people have a clue about, lots and lots of loneliness, mixed in with sleep deprivation.  Which is never any good when it comes to road rage.  Trust me you will lose every time if you fuck with a trucker.  And don't go around them when they are turning!  If you do you are likely to die!!!

Ha the metro area in my state actually isn't as bad for snow or ice compared to the south of the state.

And yeah I know better then to screw with truck drivers....whenever I see a truck trying to merge into another lane I let them in, ect. (My Grandpa was a truckdriver so I have the utmost respect for them)  I've often said that being a truckdriver has to be one of the harder jobs out there.
