‘Fix the Damn Roads': What Professional Truckers Really Think About Driving in Michigan

Sure, joke all you want about Michigan's freeways and the pledge to "fix the damn roads." But when it comes right down to it, the opinion about the state of the state's roads should come down to those who drive them professionally.

What exactly do truckers who travel the nation have to say about Michigan's roads?

The question came up on the vast discussion board known as Ask Reddit on Reddit asking, "Truckers of Reddit, which State/Country is the worst to drive through?"

Where does Michigan rank on the list? It's actually a very mixed opinion.

Others were quick to defend the state's roads and noted vast improvement:

I’m based in MI and do 90% of my driving here. The roads are UNBELIEVABLY better since big Gretch came to town

Went back to Michigan recently after moving away many years ago. The roads are so much better than they used to be… not perfect my any means, but serious progress is being made which is great to see!

Are you kidding me? Michigan roads are good.
