the stretch from Richmond to Philly is pretty much a haze of traffic anxiety. IDK why and it seems silly but i normally feel home free once i get to jersey. As far as 18 wheelers go, I was on i81 a lot and holy hell it feels like its exclusively 18 wheelers blocking traffic.
Made me realize the worst road is a 4 lane road. i95 is generally wider so you can get around idiots, there are only so many mistakes someone can make on a 2 lane road, but 4 lane roads always have some.....tard going 40 in left lane while you get killed killed by a tard on meth doing 200 in the right lane.
